XVS-9000
Unprecedented power and flexibility for high-end productions
In order to meet growing demands for advanced 4K, HD and High Dynamic Range (HDR) productions, Sony introduces the flagship XVS-9000 to the highly successful and established XVS production switcher family.

The XVS-9000 expands 4K production capacity, offering more inputs and outputs as well as featuring new 4K 3D DME capabilities. With the XVS-9000 come advanced IP and SDI interfaces that are compatible with the entire XVS switcher line-up. 100G IP interface boards fully support SMPTE ST 2110, and new 12G-based SDI interface boards increase flexibility even further by enabling IP/SDI hybrid operating environments. The modular-style design of the ICP-X7000 X-Panel assignable control panel allows highly flexible configuration to suit a wide range of operational needs.

IP Live switcher
The core of the new generation IP Live production system supports the SMPTE ST 2110 Professional Media Over Managed IP Networks suite of standards, enabling a mixed IP and SDI production environment.
12G-SDI based live switcher
The XVS-9000 supports 12G-SDI interfaces functioning on-board format conversion for every incoming and outgoing video signal to offer greater options for applications such as in-house studios, OB vehicles and flypacks.
Powerful 4K switcher
4K production capability similar to HD production, with 5 M/E, 80 inputs, 40 assignable outputs for 4K and format converter outputs, plus up to 10 full keyers and 10 sub keyers, enabling simultaneous 4K and HD operation, and powerful 4K features.
4K 3D Digital Multi Effects (DME)
The newly developed 4K DME board offers up to 4 channels of floating 4K 3D DME capability for the XVS-9000. This 4K DME board can also be configured with the XVS-8000 and XVS-7000 switchers (up to 2 Ch), and the XVS-6000 switcher (1 Ch).
Evolutionary switcher controller
The XVS-9000 utilises the ICP-X7000 X-Panel for very flexible panel configuration with a modular style design, OLED display, RGB XPT buttons and LCD button pad. The button layout is also re-designed. The X-Panel has a flexible mounting style for flat or curved mounting, or even for splitting into two positions.
SMTPE ST 2110 over 100G IP interface

Sony’s IP Live Production System with the XVS-9000 delivers efficient, flexible workflows to support two key industry standards – SMPTE ST 2110 Media Transport and AMWA NMOS Device Discovery – with the new 100G based IP interface boards. While conventional systems require multiple different types of cabling to carry various signal types (video, audio, reference, metadata and control data), SMPTE ST 2110 requires only a single standard network cable passing through conventional network switches.

12G-SDI interfaces

New 12G-SDI input and output boards further expand the line-up of XVS interface options. The 12G-SDI interface boards have on-board input or output format converter, and any input or output signal can be converted to an appropriate video signal.

Highly flexible and scalable configuration

The processors of the XVS-9000 can be configured to suit specific application needs in terms of operation, resolution, frame rate, number of inputs and outputs, number of M/E banks, and more.

5 M/E for large 4K production systems

5 M/E functionality allows operation with different video formats per M/E, allowing 4K and HD simultaneous operation.

80 inputs and 40 assignable outputs for 4K

Up to 80 inputs and up to 40 assignable outputs are configurable depending on the Input and Output option configuration. In addition, 4 channels of multi-viewer are also available.

Extensive video format support

4K 2SI/SQD, 3G Level-A
1080/59.94p,50p,
1080/59.94i,50i,
etc.

Optional integrated 4K DME board

Up to 4 channels of 3D DMEs, not only 3D linear effects but 3D non-linear effects, for 4K system is capable by installing the new 4K DME optional boards into the XVS-9000.

Flexible X-Panel assignable modular designs

The ICP-X7000 X-Panel offers very flexible panel configuration with a modular style design, OLED display, RGB XPT buttons and LCD button pad. The button layout is also re-designed. The X-Panel has a flexible mounting style for flat or curved mounting, or even for splitting into two positions. XPT FlexiPad allows function mapping customisation according to your operators’ preferences.
