The Matrix Switch Aviation Ready 16 x 16 SD/HD/3G-SDI Video Routing Switcher with Status Panel accepts multiple SD, HD, and 3G-SDI (video with SDI embedded audio) inputs across 16 ports and switches a source across 16 output ports. Supporting data transfer rates from 19 Mbps to 3 Gbps, the switcher transmits SD signals up to 1312 ft (400m).

The aviation ready switcher comes with a Mil spec power connector for aircraft DC power interfaces, 18-50 VDC isolated internal power supply (28 VDC nominal), secured Locktite screws and chassis components for anti-vibration characteristics and airworthiness, and 24-hour burn-in. This aviation ready switcher is built to be conformant with certain application requirements that were originally set down by the Sierra Nevada Corporation.

The 16 x 16 SD, HD, 3G-SDI Video Routing Switcher features auto detection of standard SMPTE data rates, which are re-clocked across each output for jitter-free operation, and non-standard SDI rates are bypassed (20 Mbps to 3 Gbps). Control options consists of text based protocol (MASCOT) over TCP/IP port, RS-232 serial, or web page interface. The switcher is compatible with optional Matrix Switch Corporation TCP/IP remote panels.

Q: 1. If this product should break or need service who does the work and where do you send it?

A: it would go back to the manufacturer AV Matrix for service

Q: 2. Can I capture with se-650

A: Yes. This has both HDMI and SDI outputs which you can use with Capture Devices like the options from Magewell. HDMI Capture - https://bhpho.to/3hO4WFn SDI Capture - https://bhpho.to/3hH2uAm

Q: 3. Can I connect this switcher to datavideo NVD-20 IP, to record my video

A: No. You can not record video via Ethernet coming from SE-1200 ethernet port because it sends only multicam window over network.

Q: 4. it is work with alpha key & fill inputs to make a layer inside it?

A: This switcher has the ability to Chroma Key and it also has two Downstream Keyers for bringing in graphics and titles.

Q: 5. Does This Have PIP in it? Because I'm really liking this one than the Blackmagic Switchers out there, I'm comparing it to the Datavideo SE-2200 Which has the same 6 channel inputs but that one has a little bit of advantage than this one. I.E 2x PIP and the Overlay Thing. So does this have a PIP then?

A: Yes it does, the Datavideo SE-1200MU does offer a Picture-In-Picture effect.

Q: 6. One of the reviewers said that The HDMI inputs have scalers/framesyncs on them so they will take almost any signal with no issue . Is it right? In official spec's there is such information: As with most HD video switchers, the SE-1200MU will expect all video inputs to beoperating at the same video standard as theswitcher itself .

A: The SE-1200 requires all the cameras to be the same resolution in order to work properly. So if you set SE-1200 to 720p, then the cameras need to be 720p, etc. However, it does have framesync. Side note, the HDMI will scale up to 1080p on the output, but if you use HDSDI, then you it will scale back to 1080i so maybe that is what you mean by scaling.Craig

Q: 7. Are both HDMI outputs assignable? Or is one used for the multiviewer? I'd like to use one as the multiviewer and other HDMI output feed into a recording/streaming device.

A: The SE-1200MU has one assignable HDMI output and two assignable SDI outputs. The second HDMI output is for the multi-view only.

Q: 8. Is there a control surface that will work with the RS422 port on this?

A: The SE-1200MU is designed to be fully controlled from any Windows Laptop/PC and Android tablet, iPad or Mac with the included SE-1200 software control panel. Datavideo does not make a control surface for it, the RS422 port is for integration with Crestron Control Panels.

Q: 9. I would like to send a hdmi signal from my desktop computer to one of the SDI inputs. What would I use to do this? I tried a a SDI to HDMI converter with Power Supply Adapter, Audio Embedder that support HDMI 1.3, 3G/HD-SDI . It would not detect the computer HDMI signal. HELP!

A: We would suggest working with a HDMI to SDI solution with a scaler that would fix many of the issues with computer resolutions and framerates. https://bhpho.to/3wI6Hgj

Q: 10. Can I use SE 900 control panel for SE-1200MU switcher?

A: No, unfortunately SE-900 control panel is not compatible with the SE-1200MU switcher. SE-1200MU has a control panel, RMC-260, that you can purchase. Thanks!
