SE-800 Digital Video Switcher Kits |
.jpg){kind=small}
The SE-800 digital switchers, available in AV and DV models, come standard with analog inputs. The SE-800DV model includes DV inputs and outputs plus an SDI overlay for use with a character generator that uses a down stream keyer (such as our CG-100). Additionally all SE-800s include an internal audio mixer with both mic and line level audio inputs. All SE-800s have voice sync to slew the voice relative to the image adjusting from "Audio Advanced" to "Audio Delayed". This works in all formats, including DV. All SE-800's include built-in format converters so each source may be seen with a composite video monitor.
There are four different SE-800 Kits available:

Q: How do I completely reset my SE-800 (hard reset)?
A: Please download this PDF for all necessary instructions - PDF link.
Q: How do I clear the frame buffer on a given input channel?
A: Please download this PDF for all necessary instructions - PDF link.
Q: Can the SE-800 be controlled remotely with anything other than the RMC-90?
A: Yes, the RS-232 protocol is available on the SE-800 page.
Q: Can you mix between DV sources and Analog sources?
A: Yes, the SE-800 can actively switch between any of the four input sources.
Q: What is the advantage of the Datavideo TLM-404 Four LCD display over the others?
Q: What are the frame rates of the SE-800 dissolve speeds?
Q: Is there a charge for firmware updates?
A: No.
Q: What are the sizes of the Picture-in-Picture windows?
A: The small PIP window has a width of 185 pixels and a height of 147 pixels. The large PIP window has a width of 284 pixels and a height of 207 pixels.
Q: Does the SE-800 pass time code?
A: No.
Q: What is the final image height in pixels if we mix an analog image (486px) with a DV image (480px)?
A: The final image resolution will be 480px in height.
Q: I am using DV cameras for a video feed and I am using an external audio mixing board. How do I get the audio and video to synchronize?
A: To use sound from an external audio mixer, you must connect the mixer to one of the four source audio input channels on the SE-800. You will then need to disable the DV audio stream from the SE-800. Do not use the AUX input for audio that you want to synchronize to video.
Using on external mixer
Q: How do I set up the audio on the SE-800 so it does not change with the different video sources?
A: This is what happens if the A/V button is not enabled. (If the A/V button is not enabled then the audio source does not change when video channels are changed.) If a single audio input from a sound board is used as an audio source, then a fade in/out of video would not affect the audio. In other words, the audio would stay active and not fade.
If you turn on the A/V button and fade from "A" (audio is present) to a channel that does not have audio, you will get a slow fade in the audio. It does not matter if you fade to a color or fade to video, the audio will fade out.
Q: Does the SE-800 do "Next Source Preview"?
A: No, however we do have an SE-800 accessory for this, please take a look at our RMC-140 Preview/Tally box.
Q: I have connected my camera to the SE-800 but I am unable to see the video on my monitors.
A: Check to make sure the the "input format" button is set to the correct input type.
For example:
Q: When I power on my SE-800 I am seeing "snow" on the video outputs.
If the "Chroma Key EXT" button is activated (shown left) before powering off unit, upon powering the unit up again you will get a pixelated snow effect (shown below left) from only the main outputs.
If the Chroma Key EXT button is selected during operation (without an external key source connected), you will see the last frame or a freeze frame of the main sources input channel.
Q: I have adjusted the voice sync button but it appears to have no effect on the sound.
A: Please check to make sure that your audio source is not connected to the AUX input. The voice sync button does not delay the AUX audio input.
Q: AUX 1 and 2 is working but the line inputs (ABCD) are not passing audio through the switcher?
A: Please check to make sure that the "Master" and "Video" buttons are activated on the audio sliders on the SE-800. The red indicator must be on in order to allow audio through the line inputs of the switcher.
Q: I am not getting a signal from one of my firewire inputs, is there a way to reset the channel?
Q: How do I activate the external key input with a single button?
The mixers external Key button will now function as a on or off toggle, however, the internal key will be disabled.
Q: Why is there a loss of signal when I connect a Sony BRC-300 to the SE-800DV?
A: The DV signal from the Sony BRC-300 camera does not send audio within the DV stream, so the SE-800's DV inputs are unable to lock to the signal. Datavideo has a special firmware version to resolve this issue. Please contact Datavideo Technical Support if you have or intend to purchase BRC-300 cameras. If you inform Datavideo in advance, we can update the firmware before shipping the product to your reseller.
Q: Does the SE-800 work in 16:9?
A: No.
Q: Is the carrying case suitable for use as a shipping case?
A: No.
Q: Is there a DV delay?
A: Yes. If the output is shown behind or next to the subject (i.e. a speaker at a convention), there will be a noticeable delay of about 1/6 of a second. There is less of a delay with S-Video cameras. One workaround is to use a camera to feed a signal straight into your projector or screen, and that same camera can still be used as a source for the switcher. You will need a DV repeater, such as our VP-332, and optionally a format converter to convert the DV into whatever format your projector requires, such as our DAC-15.
Q: How do you address DV audio delay?
A: DV audio delay, like chroma, is set for each of the assigned inputs. If you change the assignment of the input from DV to S-Video, you may want to reset the audio delay. There is a no-charge firmware update for early SE-800DV purchasers.
Q: Can I connect the SE-800's DV output to a computer?
A: Yes, a PC or Mac will recognize the DV signal from the SE-800 as a "Philips DV Device". The signal can also be captured by any editing software.
Q: Does the SE-800 accept HD?
A: No, it only records standard definition.
Q: Will closed captioning signals be maintained through the SE-800 switcher?
A: No, closed captioning is not supported.
