8 Overview
(This option cannot be installed in the MVS-8000GSF.)
To use the dual link configuration it is necessary to install
the MKS-8160G besides the above components.
The pre-installed system is comprised of one M/E bank,
and the installation of two MKS-8210Gs makes it two M/
E banks system.
• In dual link mode it is necessary to install two MKS-
8442Gs to use the frame memory function.
• In dual link mode it is necessary to install one BZS-8420
besides one MKS-8442G to use the color corrector
function.
In dual link mode the MKS-8450G format converter does
not serve any function.
