Datavideo SE-3200 12 Inp DVS switcher (Splitunit)

Datavideo SE-3200 12-Input DVS Switcher – 12 Inputs (8x SDI + 4x HDMI) with Full HD 1080p and Input Scaling

The Datavideo SE-3200 is a fully customizable 12-channel digital video switcher designed for full HD live production. It gives you multiple inputs and outputs, input scaling on every channel, and a range of built-in production tools so you can produce professional live events with flexible signal routing and advanced effects.

Inputs, outputs and full HD support

The SE-3200 includes 12 inputs: 8x SDI and 4x HDMI. It also provides 9 outputs: 6x SDI and 3x HDMI. In addition, every input and output supports full HD 1080p. The switcher has a built-in input scaler for up- and down-conversion on each available input, allowing you to mix sources at different resolutions while maintaining a consistent program output.

Advanced video composition and effects

The SE-3200 offers a range of tools to create layered and dynamic video compositions. These features include:

• 8x picture-in-picture (PIP) capability to display multiple sources simultaneously.
• FlexSource, which provides an extra layer of image composition within this 1 M/E switcher.
• 4x upstream keyers that support chromakey, linear, and luma keys as well as picture-in-picture keying.
• 2x downstream keyers (DSKs) for overlaying graphics or titles on the program output.
• 2x independent animated logos for persistent branding elements.
• Built-in Stinger Transitions and a 2D Transition DVE to add animated transitions between sources.

Built-in stinger transitions and virtual sets

The switcher includes a library of pre-saved animated stinger transitions and 50 virtual set backgrounds. You can use these assets to create polished scene changes and virtual studio looks. Moreover, the SE-3200 allows you to import your own stinger transitions and animated logos for custom branding and tailored transitions.

CG title support and included software

All 3200 series switchers, including the SE-3200, support Datavideo CG software. The switcher converts a regular HDMI output from a PC or laptop into a CG interface that works with Datavideo’s CG suites. Datavideo provides the CG-200 software free with the switcher so you can create and manage titles and graphics for live production.

Multiview and layout flexibility

The SE-3200 supports dual Multiview output. You can connect up to two displays and choose from many predefined multiview layouts, or define your own layouts to match your workflow. This flexibility helps monitoring and switching during live events.

FlexSource details and extended composition

FlexSource brings near 2 M/E functionality to a 1 M/E switcher. It provides an additional composition layer with:

• 4 PIPs with 3D borders,
• a Background layer, and
• an additional Key layer.

You can save these complex FlexSource setups and recall them quickly with the touch of a button, streamlining repeated segment production.

Chromakey and virtual studio capabilities

The SE-3200 includes up to 4 switchable chroma key channels with a “Key tie” function. This lets you build a virtual studio across multiple keyers and use automatic chromakey functions for easier setup and consistent results in live productions.

Multiple picture-in-picture frames

Besides the 8 PIPs mentioned earlier, the switcher supports up to 8 picture-in-picture frames that can be active simultaneously. Each PIP is fully adjustable in size and position and offers various border options, including the SE-3200’s 3D border styles.

Crosspoint assignment for flexible routing

Crosspoint assignment (XPT) lets you reroute any physical input or output to available switcher buttons. This feature removes the need to physically access rear connections during a live event and gives you fast, on-the-fly routing changes from the front panel.

FAQ

Question: Can the SE-3200 handle mixed input resolutions and still output full HD?

Answer: Yes. The SE-3200 has a built-in input scaler that performs up- and down-conversion on each input, so you can mix sources at different resolutions while maintaining a full HD workflow on outputs.

Question: How can I add titles and graphics to my program?

Answer: The SE-3200 supports Datavideo’s CG software and converts a PC or laptop HDMI output into a CG interface. Datavideo includes the CG-200 software so you can create and manage titles and graphic overlays for live production.

Question: Is it possible to use custom transitions and logos?

Answer: Yes. The switcher includes pre-saved stinger transitions and animated logos, and you can import your own stinger transitions and animated logos to match your branding and production needs.

Question: How many chroma key channels can I use for a virtual studio?

Answer: The SE-3200 provides up to 4 switchable chromakey channels and a “Key tie” function, enabling a multi-channel virtual studio setup and easier automatic chromakey workflows.

Question: What is FlexSource and how does it help live production?

Answer: FlexSource is an advanced composition layer within the SE-3200 that gives you near 2 M/E capabilities on a 1 M/E switcher. It adds 4 PIPs with 3D borders, a Background layer, and an extra Key layer. You can save and recall complex FlexSource setups to speed up repetitive production tasks.
