Datavideo’s SE-900 8-input SD switcher has an expandable core feature set that includes
chromakey cards and PiP. This two-piece switcher (control panel and rackmountable
processor) is ideal for SD venues.
The switcher accepts a mix of eight input cards for DV, SDI, DVI, YUV and composite video.
Outputs include DV, SDI, composite, component and S-video. Each input has a frame
synchronizer and TBC. Preview functions include a YUV/composite multi-image output
with “next source” and “next effect” so you can see how it looks before your audience
does. The SE-900 caters to the DV and SDI formats by including an audio delay for DV and
an optional audio embedder for the SDI stream. You can also create chromakeys with the
SE-900’s built-in dual-channel chromakey, which includes 2 virtual set CDs.
The SE-900 is sold as a standalone 2-piece switcher, as a kit with monitors and monitor
rack, or as part of mobile studio packages (see page 20), all available preconfigured for
different inputs.
