Sony DFS-700A, Brochure & Specs

The simplicity of pre-programmed effects

Some special effects systems require complex, tedious
programming. Not the DFS-700A.  With pre-programmed
effect patterns, anyone can create artistic, impressive,
amusing, or stunning visuals. You can concentrate on

expressing your creativity — and let the DFS-700A work on
the effects. Or if you like, you can execute partial
modifications to the preset effect pattern and add your own,
personal touch.

The DFS-700A allows downstream keys to be set up exactly
as desired.  The DSKs can be placed anywhere within the
screen regardless of the original DSK key source position.
The transition rates are set up in numbers of frames, and

different rates can be selected for the DSK On and Off
transitions.  Stunning DSK effects such as 'DSK blink',
'Border blink' and 'Hue rotation' are also available.

Flexible DSK function

For even more creativity, add optional boards, and now
you’ve got over 800 effects to choose from. Over 400
additional effects including Crystal Wipe, Multi Pillars and
Polygon V-studio are available with the following optional
boards installed.

2nd channel DME board

Adding the optional second channel video board will add a
professional touch with two-channel special effects, such as
push-in, push-out, Duality™ effect (two-channel picture in
picture), combined operations (two-channel intersect) and
brick-like effect.

3D video mapping effects board

Three-dimensional special effects can be impressive but they
can also be extremely difficult to use. The DFS-700A makes
things easy. The optional 3D Mapping Board delivers 3D
effects in a simple, ready-to-use format.
Without wasting significant time on programming, you have
easy access to 3D effects such as 3D cubes, 3D explosion,
3D vase, and 3D frames. Your productions become more
exciting.  And most importantly, you become more creative.

Optional effects 

The DFS-700A draws on Sony’s expertise in high-end non-
linear image processing. In standard configuration, this
affordable system incorporates the groundbreaking effects
and capabilities of Sony’s landmark video editing products.

Preprogrammed and ready-to-use effects include Fanta Trail
and several features from Digital Sparkle

®

(such as ripple and

swirl effects).
