Product Overview

The Datavideo SE-1000 is an HD / SD input, digital processing live video switcher. The SE-1000 includes 6
groups of video inputs (5 x HD/SD SDI - each with loop through, & 1 x DVI), and 3 x video outputs PGM ( 2 x
HD/SD SDI & 1 x HD/SD Component), PVW (1 x HD/SD SDI & 1 x HD/SD Component) & AUX (2 x HD/SD
SDI & 1 x HD/SD Component). It also incorporates 6 x DAC 40, HD/SD SDI to HD/SD Component /
Composite converters; these allow easy monitoring of inputs and/or outputs. A built in frame synchroniser
ensures glitch free switching of non synchronised inputs. Additional sockets include, Ethernet for image
import from a PC, Tally light output, RS-422 remote control interface, Sync Ref input for external genlock,
and GPI trigger.

Features

Live HD / SD Digital Switcher
Simple Control Panel - The layout of the SE-1000 is extremely simple to follow and ideal for a
live environment.
Six Inputs - five inputs of HD/SD SDI and one DVI
Six HD/SD SDI - HD/SD Component YUV / Composite video converters - These allow SD
monitors to be used for monitoring the input channels, or can be used to convert the HD/SD
Digital SDI outputs to HD/SD Analogue Component YUV.
Multiple Format Support - HD 1080/59.94i, 1080/50i, 720/59.94i, 720/50i / SD 480/59.94i,
576/50i / DVI-I (input only) are the supported formats
Internal or External Sync Support - The SE-1000 has a built in 10-bit frame synchroniser, which
enables clean switching between asynchronous inputs. By using the Black Burst output, systems
can be synchronised to the SE-1000. Alternatively Gen-Lock is possible, by using the Ref In / Out
sockets; the SE-1000 can then be set to external sync (BB or Tri-Level sync).
Built-in Effects and Keying - The SE-1000 has nine different wipe effects, each with a range of
border styles and soft edges. In addition there is a built in Keyer, which offers self or linear keying
as well as key inversion.
Ethernet Capture - Images can be imported from a PC via the Ethernet port, these images can
be used as background images or key input signals
External Control via RS-422 / GPI - The SE-1000 can be controlled from external devices.
Simple control can be gained via GPI, or full control is possible via RS-422.
12v Power Requirement - The SE-1000 can be powered from 12v so it can be easily powered in
the field - Please note Warnings & Precautions on Page 3 in regard to environmental conditions.
Tally output - 6 x Tally light outputs are provided
