[quote="jwillis"]I really would love to see a properly supported editor again. I love all the new switchers, but having to use them all in some kind of emulation of a 10 year old "whatever" usually kills all the good stuff. Did you ever use a 2ME, 32input switcher with 8 keyers, etc and find you could only address the first 20 inputs, 2 keyers and no timeline because it had to "be" a Gv200 so some ancient bag of 1970's computer could run it? I hate GPIs - why would I want that total lack of repeatability? I guess if I ever got my hands on another Axial or DPE it could be made to be right for almost anything. Ah, well - just showing my age I suppose..... John[/quote] Sony is releasing a plug-in editor for the MVS & DVS switchers. It will work just like a BVE-2000 or BVE-9100 (depending on what software you buy for it). It does 16 channels of audio, all four keyers per M/E, has access to the Frame Memories on the switcher and directly access hwo ever many VTR/DDR ports you purchased with the switcher. Of course, it's not a stand-alone device. You have to have the MVS-8000 or DVS-9000 or MFS-2000 to use it.
