At only 1RU in height, the Datavideo SE-1200MU 6 Input HD Digital Video Switcher is a small, portable, computer controlled switcher. Designed to be controlled using the front panel buttons, RS-422, or via a computer. An optional monitor is required to view your output. The unit supports 1080i and 720p video via 4 HD-SDI inputs and 2 HDMI inputs, with the HDMI inputs supporting computer signals.

The SE-1200MU has 2 HD-SDI outputs and 2 assignable HDMI multi-view outputs. In terms of audio, there are 2 XLR mono inputs (1 stereo pair) and the switcher supports audio embedding of analog audio. The switcher supports Luma and linear keying with 2 downstream keyers, and has built-in effects including fade to black, straight cut, and 32 wipes with border. The internal frame synchronizer allows you to use consumer cameras with HDMI output and computers as input sources while making straight cuts without having the image jump, or requiring a fade to black. As you would expect with a switcher, this unit supports Tally indication on the multi-view output.

Q: 4. Can I use Chromo key AS WELL AS make that input to become the PiP? Basically I want a PiP window that comes in with Chroma and remove the chroma green background. In the demo video I saw the PiP and Chroma explained on two different inputs. But what I want is BOTH the PiP and Chroma Key effects to be applied on the very same input. Can I do it? Thanks.

A: No, unfortunately you won't be able to do that with our SE-1200MU switcher. You would need a 2 M/E switcher to have two different keys on one layer.

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. where do you record the video?

A: The Datavideo SE-1200MU has SDI outputs that you can use with recording devices. The Atomos Samurai Blade is a nice option to record directly to a Solid State Drive. You can also look in to an H.264 encoder for both recording and streaming, such as the Datavideo NVS-25.

Q: 9. 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: 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!
