Sony BVE-9100 Editor. This item is in excellent condition
Price: $12,000.00

Model Details:
The BVE-9100 electronics chassis houses the main system electronics, hard drive, floppy drives, communication ports, monitoring ports, and reference connectors. Four GPI output ports are standard. In its maximum configuration, the chassis provides ports for up to 28 serial controlled devices. Multiple slots are provided for interface cards, including the BKE-9011 Switcher/Mixer/Monitor Switcher Interface card, the BKE-9014 Multi Interface Card, and the BKE-9002 IDC (Intelligent Device Controller) card for GPI expansion.

The BKE-9011 Switcher/Mixer/Monitor Switcher interface card provides RS-422 ports for communications to a variety of video switchers and audio mixers. Models from most broadcast manufacturers are supported. The card also interfaces with the external Sony DVS-V1201, BVS-V1201, DVS-A1201, BVS-A1201 or GVG-10x switcher for preview switching capability. Note: one card maximum can be installed in the BVE-9100 system. The BKE-9014 Multi Interface Card controls four RS-422 devices per card. Devices include VTRs, ATRs, DDRs, DMEs, and CCRs. Up to six cards can be installed in the BVE-9100 system. (Note that only five BKE-9014 cards can be installed if both the BKE-9002 and BKE-9011 cards are installed.) The four ports must be configured in groups of two similar devices. For example: One card can control four VTRs. One card can control two VTRs and two DMEs. One card can not control one VTR, one CCR, and two DMEs. The BKE-9002 IDC (Intelligent Device Controller) card is required for GPI expansion. A maximum of one BKE-9002 can install in the main BVE-9100 chassis. The card itself provides the interconnection between main electronics and up to four BKE-9600 IDC chassis. In the "Installation Guide" chapter of the Product Guide (BC-00583), refer to the "BVE-9100 Chassis" section for a chassis diagram and list of chassis specifications.

* The BVE-9100 is controlled by a series of 32-bit microprocessors. Using a technique called distributed processing, the master CPU handles all high level editing functions, while dedicated CPUs on the interface boards handle the communications with all peripheral devices.
* The BVE-9100 is a modular, cost-effective system with a wide range of options. Systems can be tailor-made to suit the individual needs of the facility, with the built-in capacity for expansion as the facility itself grows. A customer can start with the basics and add device controllers and other peripherals as required.
* The BVE-9100 is a multi-menu system. A variety of convenient and easy-to-use menus provide access to all the necessary editing, system, and setup functions: The Edit Data Page lays out the current edit in a convenient data-plus-graphic format, and provides a window into the EDL. The entire display, both color and layout, can be customized. Setup Menu accesses setup functions for devices, cross point assignments and I/O communications. The Initialization Menu assigns devices, sets EDL specifications, and determines overall preferences such as pre-roll and color framing. The BVE-9100's menus are logical and well-designed, with extensive setup control. The editor can design short-cuts to frequently used functions.
* An extensive range of Sony VTRs, DDRs , File Servers, ATRs (Audio Tape Recorders), Switchers, Mixers, DVEs (Digital Video Effects) and Color Correctors can be controlled directly using serial communications. For several storage devices, features such as DT and TBC levels are directly controllable, in addition to the standard transport commands. For Sony DVS/BVS series Switchers, multi-M/E access as well as E-File™ memory register control is standard. In addition, keyframe, timeline and effect control for the DVS-6000, 7000, and 8000 work directly from the BVE-9100's jog/shuttle dial. For the Sony DMX-E3000 audio mixer, crosspoint, transition, preview, and "snapshot" functions are fully supported. For DME (Digital Multi Effects) units such as the DME-3000 and DME-7000, keyframe, timeline and effect control is easy directly from the BVE-9100's jog/shuttle dial. The BVE-9100 system also works with selected devices from other manufacturers such as Ampex®, Abekas®, Videotek®, GVG® and Graham-Patten®. Using the optional BKE-9402 Programmable Control Panel, peripheral control is centralized in one compact unit - like having a tape operator, and an assistant director at your fingertips. The more devices you can control accurately in a session, the more accurate the EDL itself. With Sony peripheral devices under serial control, the BVE-9100's sophisticated interfaces contribute yet another link in Sony's one disk solution.
* All BVE-9100 system software runs from the internal hard drive. Software upgrades and optional switcher/mixer interfaces are provided on floppy disk for convenience and ease of installation. In addition to the internal hard drive, two 3.5" disk drives are standard for storing,or archiving EDLs and set-up files. Because the system's UI (user interface) and operating environment can be customized by an editor, the BVE-9100 allows you to store files on-board - or out-board. Out-board storage simply means that with the EDL disk in hand, an editor can assemble a program across town or across the nation - at another BVE-9100 facility - with precisely the same configuration that was used in the original suite. With your custom set-up disk, there's no time wasted in UI setup.
* With the advanced operating program, full list management capabilities including standard and advanced functions like trace and cleanup, are at your fingertips. List management is simply a set of software tools for manipulating EDL timecode numbers and events. The numbers represent scenes in a program, and careful adjustment is often required to solve a problem, move a scene around, or enhance a particular transition. Just like any toolbox, some list management tools are used more often than others - when one is needed, it's a lifesaver - if it's missing, precious time can be lost. With the BVE-9100, the list management toolbox is full.
* The BVE-9100's standard EDL memory capacity is 6000 lines, with expansion capability available. Up to sixteen EDLs (also called "bins") can be handled in memory simultaneously. You can store multiple versions of a program, individual audio-only lists and individual effects-only lists, or even reserve lists exclusively for switcher E-Files.
* When using digital VTRs such as the DVR-1000/2100, DVR-10/18/20/28, and DVW-series, the BVE-9100 provides full four-channel audio control. Individual channels can be enabled in any combination, and independent split inpoints can be set as needed. This high degree of control simply means that you can record narration on Channel 1, audio effects or a second language track on Channel 2, and a stereo music bed on Channels 3 and 4.
* The BVE-9100 has the following keyboard options:The Qwerty keyboard provides all functions in a standard typewriter-style array. This layout is familiar to most editors, and is known as the industry standard keyboard. The dedicated keyboard arranges similar functions in convenient groups of keys. This keyboard offers a comfortable transition for editors familiar with similar keyboards on older Ampex, Paltex, and Convergence editing systems.
* GPI (General Purpose Interface) comes with 4 standard output ports, expandable to a maximum of 36 output ports. The software for triggering the ports includes a variety of convenient operating modes. GPIs are required for both old and new peripheral devices that do not have the benefit of a serial communications port. Most contemporary devices have serial control ports. Many older cart machines still store character generators, ATRs fall into this category. Using a simple contact-closure approach, GPI ports allow you to trigger these devices with frame-accuracy.
* The BVE-9100's color display is easy to read and can be customized for editing convenience and comfort. Convenient menus allow you to customize the display, and store the resulting setups on disk.
