The SE-1200 MU can support the following HD video standards: 1080i/50, 1080i/59.94, 1080i/60  and 
720p/50,   720p/59.94,   720p/60.

 

 

4.4  SE-1200 MU Video Layers 

The SE-1200 MU is a High Definition Digital Video Switcher and as well as mixing video  sources and 

embedding analogue audio, it has additional functions such as Picture in Picture (PIP), Chroma Key, Luma 

Key and Down Stream Key (DSK). 

 

Before attempting to use the SE-1200 MU’s PIP, Chroma, Luma and Down Stream Keying functions, it may 

help to first understand the order of the video layers at the SE-1200 MU Program outputs. 

 

 

 

The 

background video layer

 is used for transitioning between Preview and Program sources. This layer also 

includes any selected wipe transitions. This layer can be hidden or partly hidden by the PiP, Keyer or DSK 

video layers in front of it. 

 

The 

Key 1 

and

 Key 2 

layers can be used for 

PiP,

 

Chroma, Linear

 or 

Luma Key

 applications. The KEY video 

signal (foreground) is shown in this layer and the FILL video signal is displayed in the background video 

layer. If set up incorrectly, these key layers can stop the video behind being displayed.  

 

The 

Picture in Picture

 

(PiP) 

feature

 

of the

  Key 1

  &

  Key 2 

layers

 

can be used for displaying a smaller 

secondary image in front of the background video layer. This smaller PiP image can be resized, cropped, 

repositioned and even keyed by the user to avoid an important part of the background video layer being 

covered by it.  

 

 

The SE-1200 MU has four dedicated keyers, 

Key1

Key2

DSK1

  and 

DSK2

. All four 

keyers can be active simultaneously. 

Key 1

  and 

Key2

  can be set as  Upstream or 

Downstream keyers.  
 
The Layer priority, or order, of 

Key 1

 and 

Key 2

 can also be changed by the user 

using the 

Priority button

 in the 

Transitions Control

 area. 

DSK 1

 & 

DSK 2

 can only be 

used as Downstream keyers. See the  diagram  above  for an example of keyer 
layering with the SE-1200 MU. 

 

The 

Down Stream Key layers

 (

DSK 1

 & 

DSK 2

)

 

are placed on top of all the previous layers. These layers are 

typically used with Character Generator inputs for displaying titles, graphics, lower thirds, clocks and logos. 

Datavideo offer several Character Generator products (additional purchase) such as TC-200, CG-250, CG-
