It is along message, I am sorry in advance, here below information about DVS 9000: *It is 1.5ME *The panel version is 2.2 *Manue version is 2.2 The possibility of hardware failure is less because there is ME1 in the switcher (wipe ,mix ..ect) but it doesnot appear in output ports and in ME1 buttons . In the page 7321 the table as below: Operation Assign bank enable ME/1 1st row enable M/E1 2nd row enable P/P 3rd row - - 4th row - My question, Is it possible the 1st and 2nd rows have ME/1 ? ,and when I try turning off the dual mode ,the tow bank are affected . -Could you please explain a simple block diagram where does the ME/ signal go after processing and how is routed to the output port and ME/1 buttons ? -How could I reset the switcher to factory default set and is it helpful to solve the problem? Thanks a lot

It is possible that one of the actual M/E cards has failed. In this case, you can select any physical M/E as a logical M/E, but you'll always end up one M/E short (assuming that there has been a hardware failure). Another possibility is that M/E 1 or another M/E may be in DUAL mode (Page 7321), where one M/E shows up as all unshifted sources while another M/E shows up with all of that 1st M/E's shifted sources. Check the M/E LED displays to see if more than one M/E has the same label. If this is the case, turning off DUAL for that M/E should restore normal operation. Or maybe the M/E has been disabled - also page 7321.

Hello i have a proplem with one of DVS- 9000SF switcher ,the proplem is: 1. there is no ME1 PGM output . 2. To check the fault i open the page 7331.5 , when i press( M/E1 : assign the physical PP as logical M/E-1), the M/E1PGM signal appears , but there is no signal on P-P PGM output . could you please help to solve the proplem. thank you all, sausan IMN Technical Department

Enric - Switchers by themselves do not create 4x3 or 16x9. There are exactly as many pixels in an SD 4x3 image as there are in an SD 16x9 image. The only difference is in the shape of the pixel, more square or more rectangular. It is the acquisition device that works in 4x3 or 16x9 - things such as cameras, VTR's, or CG's create the shape of the pixels. The switcher just passes this information through. What you are seeing in the aspect ratio area of the menu is how the switcher generates such things as patterns. In order to match video that was created in 16x9, the switcher can horizontally compress certain wipes (such as circles) so that they do not appear oblong. In fact, a good way to check whether or not you have selected the correct aspect ratio in the switcher is to put up a circle wipe & see if it looks like a circle (correct) or an egg (incorrect). The DME selections for aspect allow you to switch between a +4/-4 & +3/-3 coordinate system with a +16/-16 & +9/-9 system. The DME's, just like the switcher, are blind to the actual aspect ratio of the input source and will not convert a 4x3 source to a 16x9 source without manually adjusting the DME's 2D ASPECT controls (found on the panel as part of building effects). The reason that you're probably not seeing any change is because the final determiner of what an image looks like is your monitor. You will need to set your monitor for 16x9 - then your 16x9 material will look OK. After you do this, put up that circle wipe mentioned earlier...in the menu, cycle between 4x3 & 16x9 and you will see the shape of the wipe change. That's a confirmation that the menu selection is designed to match the aspect ratio of the wipes to the image, and you can set this ratio on an M/E by M/E basis (as you noted). But you'll see that changing the button has no effect on the image.
