Description
The SE-4000 8-Channel 4K Video Switcher from Datavideo is a plug-and-play, eight-channel digital video switcher with up to UHD 4K60 video support using 12 physical inputs, and up to eight of those inputs are selectable for live switching. The unit features 12G-SDI and HDMI inputs and outputs with embedded audio, an input scaler, and it features a 5″ LCD touchscreen to set up and program built-in effects.
Intuitive One-Button/One-Function
The easy-to-use user interface is intuitive, so you don’t need complicated composite buttons to activate various switching effects, including video effects that are usually activated in a number of steps. They can all be saved in one user memory slot and with the assigned icon, you can easily identify the settings saved therein. Simply tap the slot to activate all saved features.
Varieties of 3D PIP Configurations
The two built-in PIP windows can be overlaid on one another. In addition to the default corner places, you can further change the window’s size, position, and display ratio. You can also crop the window to make it square. By adding a shaded border, you will then be able to fully generate an advanced 3D PIP window with a self-defined border color.
Integrated 5″ Touchscreen Display
With the 5″ touchscreen panel built in, you will not need a laptop or app to assist with your live production. With many built-in functions, including user memory with customized icon, transition animation set up, chroma key, luma key, DSK, PIP, wipe generator, still stores, and logo insertion; these can all be done on the 5″ LCD touchscreen.
WIPE Transition Effects
There is a total of 64 wipe transition effects designed for different TV programs. The WIPE transition is a very crucial element in program production. The SE-4000 provides 64 eye- catching WIPE effects with configurable border color and width. The border can be further softened to make the WIPE effect unique.
Input/Output Selection
Responsive and seamless interface switching between 12G-SDI and HDMI 2.0 on four shared channels. By upgrading from 8 channels to a 12-channel machine, it adds greater versatility to your hardware connections and more possibilities to live program production. There is no need to install the driver to connect with the laptop. The images and videos can be directly input to the switcher through the HDMI interface of the laptop.
Still Image Thumbnails
Save up to 250 4K still images such as sequential program images, images of various scenarios, full-size logos, school or faculty badges, and more. You can also capture important moments of your program and save these images for post-edits. This library of images is a good tool for future video production.
Luma/Chroma/Linear Key and DSK
Commonly used lumakey and chromakey, montage linear key and the topmost downstream key layer are crucial elements to upgrading the video program quality. With a customized combination of these four keyers, they add elegance to your program by generating advanced video effects.
Audio-to-Video Synchronization
There are times when video and audio become out of sync during video production or live video streaming. Most users would feel annoyed when such an issue arises. Videos are usually processed at 25 or 50 fps and the audio is delivered in milliseconds.
10 Preset Virtual Sets & User Memory
In addition to user-saved still images, the SE-4000 also provides up to 10 sets of or 40 high-quality 4K virtual sets for left, front, right, and long shot auxiliary cameras. They are designed for video conferences and interview programs. Different themes for various scenarios are available on the website for download.
Save camera and keyer settings in user memory presets. The SE-4000 offers up to 125 memory presets and provides icons to better identify settings saved. You can save the camera’s PTZ settings along with these keyer parameters in the user memory presets, which can be accessed with one tap.
DVIP – The Key to System Integration
Having a single professional switcher is still not enough for your video production; you still need a standard port that connects a network of external devices such as cameras, recorders, encoders, etc. DVIP is a communication protocol designed for such a purpose. The DVIP port also allows you to connect devices of other manufacturers, thus forming a more comprehensive and easy-to-use system solution.
Power Options
The SE-4000 uses 12 VDC power with small power consumption, so it is perfect for a production Van. Its power adapter has a locking mechanism that is compatible with the optional PD-4A redundant power center using the 4-pin XLR socket at the rear of the main unit. You can also use the separately available UPS backup VMC-01 for a battery-based UPS.
