Sony Production Switcher
A multiviewer can receive dynamic source names and tally information from a Sony
switcher. The procedure below describes how to set up a multiviewer to interface with a
Sony production switcher (DVS-9000 series, MVS-8000 series or MFS-2000 series).
Setting Up a Sony Switcher
To set up a Sony switcher
1 Enable serial tally on one of the switcher’s ports (refer to your Sony Production Switcher
System User’s Guide for details).
2 Physically connect one end of an RJ-45 straight cable to the multiviewer’s RS-422 port.
3 Using a DE-9S-to-RJ-45 crossover adapter (Grass Valley part no. 1792-3700-100),
connect the other end of the cable to the enabled serial tally port on the Sony switcher.
See
RS-422 Connection Diagram on page 26 for pinouts on the multiviewer.
DVS-9000 switchers
Since there are no serial tally connections on the DVS-9000 switcher, you will need an
additional device—either a Device Control Unit (DCU) or a System Control Unit (SCU)—
between this switcher model and the multiviewer. Use a DCU model MKS-8700 or DCU-
8000, or an SCU model MKS-8010A or MKS-8010B.
• On a DCU (MKS-8700 or DCU-8000), use the connectors labeled Serial Tally 1 and Serial
Tally 2.

Note: There are no serial tally connections on the Sony switcher model
DVS-9000. See DVS-9000 switchers on page 414 for details.
Note: MKS-2700: The 1 RU DCU model MKS-2700 does not have a serial
tally connection, so serial tally must come from a MKS-8010A or MKS-8010B
SCU.
