6 Datavideo SE-2000 Rick Young, MovieMachine.TV Whether I m on a corporate production or doing media training, there s often a requirement for mixing live sources. I originally opted for the SE-2000 production switcher because of its ability to take a live DVI feed from the laptop and output the signal to an SDI monitor, recorder or projector. The image quality was excellent - I was instantly won over. HD-SDI Vision mixer with audio production The SE-2000 is a cost-effective, multimedia switcher designed for HD-SDI environments. The unit can store multiple logos for on-screen display and has a dedicated DVI-D connector for importing live graphics.

Multi-viewer output Tally 2 PIP displays Lumakey Logo insertion Multicam HD productions that need fast, high quality audio and video mixing and source switching. The device integrates graphics feeds, logo insertion and external media players to act as the heart of a go-anywhere solution. Datavideo SE-2000R The SE-2000R is a button or RS-232 operated rack-unit that shares all the features of the SE Having spent 12 years as a vision mixer and TV production director for ITN, BBC and Sky, I was keen to use the switcher to mix live events. I was brought up on big 3 M/E desks with 32 inputs so the traditional layout of the Datavideo panel was very familiar to me. With the SE-2000, I can flick very fast between a preview of all my video and graphics sources and select any as a preview or live programme very easily indeed. It s a portable TV studio and that s no exaggeration at all. A typical live set up involves multiple HD camcorders and a DVI computer graphics feed. The multi-viewer output is a big deal to me: having all views on a single lightweight monitor is a tremendous bonus. I m used to a rack of broadcast screens, each displaying a different source, the preview, and live output. This may be fine in the TV world, but is impractical (and very expensive) in today s fast paced and highly mobile world. The SE multi-viewer is a great solution. For me, pure image quality and totally reliable operation are of critical performance. Whenever I m recording a computer-based training film or shooting a multicam event, the SE-2000 is rock solid and 100% reliable. Every time I use the switcher, it s simply spot on. You just don t get the same stability in computer environments. System down-time or slow-down is something you can t risk when you re live: it s got to plug in and work. Frankly for the price and with the results I m getting, I m very happy with the SE-2000.
