Features of This System
The Sony DFS-700/700P DME Switcher is a Digital
Multi Effects system, offering high-performance
effects at high image quality. The system consists of a
processor unit and control panel.
Support for fully digital component
systems with SDI inputs and outputs
This system provides SDI interfaces as standard
equipment. This allows it to be incorporated in fully
digital linear editing systems using DVCAM-series,
Betacam SX-series, and other digital VCRs.
Advanced special effects
This system is equipped with advanced special effects,
including trail, lighting effects, ripple, swirl, and
explosion.
Installing the optional BKDF-711 board adds a second
DME channel, and the optional BKDF-712 board
enables 3D mapping effects to be used.
For details of option boards, see page 1-3.
Support for wide range of input/output
signal formats
• There are eight inputs as standard (VIDEO INPUT 1
to 8).
VIDEO INPUT 1 to 4: SDI (serial digital interface)
signals
VIDEO INPUT 5 to 8: analog component signals.
VIDEO INPUT 8 can also be used as an analog
RGB signal input.
Installing the optional BKDF-701 board allows all
eight inputs to be used as either SDI or analog
component inputs.
Installing the optional BKDF-702/702P board allows
four inputs to be used as either Y/C (S-video) or
analog composite inputs.
For details of option boards, see page 1-3.

component, analog composite, and Y/C, for a total of
eight outputs.
