In order to get the most out of your newswitcher, we recommend that you spend some time getting familiar with this manual, as it will describe indetail all the functions of this unit. In addition, you?ll find some useful background information on video andaudio, and some detailed examples of ways to use your new switcher.You might want to immediately take a look at the Quick Start section on page 16 for a quick overview.Product OverviewNow you can shoot, mix, and edit, all within the DV25 format. The full size control panel includes 30 user programmable macro functionkeys that let you play back preset transitions and effects instantly by pressing a single key.Built in high quality Datavideo format converters provide simultaneous analog and digital audio and videooutputs. The SE-800 canserve as a sync reference for analog cameras, video projectors, scan converters, etc.A built in R.G.B. Color Processor and a Color Corrector for each input video, with settings that are saved,allow you to fine tune your video. SDI ports for serial digital video connect to an expansion PC SDI graphics card for videooverlays of text and graphics from a PC.The SE-800 comes complete with a carrying case for increased protection in the field.What is a switcher?A switcher is something or someone that allows or facilitates switching.In this case, the switching that happens is among 4 video and 7 audio sources. And if just switching were theonly requirement, then this piece of equipment would be like a row of light switches. But no: to be truly usefulin a production environment, a video switcher has to provide for numerous ways to go from one video sourceto another (transitions), ways to adjust the look of the video (color processor and special effects), to deal withaudio, and to keep the whole thing synchronized, looking good. 6 These little devices are essential if you want to make a seamless switch from one videosource to another. If the sources you are switching between are not synchronized with each other, the videoimage falls apart at the transition moment, and the result is not pretty.The SE-800 has a full frame synchronizer (also known as a time base corrector or TBC) at its Main and SubSource inputs (2 total) to insure switches without distortion and smooth, well-regulated video at its output. Inaddition to its digital memory, a TBC also has controls that affect the look of the video that passes through it.These controls are known as processing amplifiers, or proc amps; they control brightness, contrast, color,and tint, though these may have different names in different applications.For more information on some of these technical aspects, see the Appendix Tech Notes on page 55Possible applicationsYou may already have some uses in mind for the SE-800. There?s a real good chance that by browsingthrough this manual, you will find some applications you didn?t think of or expect.

Please makesure you have read the Warnings and Precautions section on page 3.The SE-800 sends and receives both analog and digital signals. Digital signals are carried through the DVand SDI cables; all the rest (except the GPI, RS-232 connections) are analog. One of the beauties of digitalis that most of the cautions described below, regarding cable lengths, impedance, crossing power cords, andadaptors, are not an issue. The cautions below, with the exception of physical damage, apply only to cablescarrying analog video or audio.It is quite possible these days to buy whatever cable length and connector you need for your set up. Not solong ago, they had to be assembled individually with wire strippers and solder, but now you can easily findthem in most electronics and video supply stores. We strongly recommend you use analog video and audiocables that are roughly the right length to connect between components. The longer the cable, the morenoise and deterioration of the video signal can be introduced. We strongly recommend that you check theintegrity of each analog cable before installation by using a continuity tester (available from most electronicand video supply stores). Cables can go bad over time, with use, by someone walking on them, carts rollingover them, or even for no apparently good reason. It will happen eventually. This is another good way to introduce noise and signal degradation.Cable connectors will eventually become dirty. The dirt can cause a bad connection or introduce noise in thesignal. Get some electrical contacts cleaning products, such as those made by Caig Labs (www.caig.com),and use them regularly to avoid problems.Use adaptors if you must, but keep in mind that each connector is one more accident waiting to happen, onemore place the signal can be degraded or broken.Finally, for some interesting and entertaining examples of how to connect and integrate the SE-800 into avariety of set ups, take a look at the brief Quick Start section and the more in depth explanations in SampleApplications on page 16. 12 The connector slides over the connector onthe SE-800 and is locked in place with a push in and clockwise turn. These plugs have a tiny bar in them to assure correct alignment in thesocket. They need to be pressed firmly in place, but very carefully, as the little pins canbend easily. Align plug and socket and push straight in, firmly.DV plugs come in 4 pin and 6 pin connector sizes. The SE-800 uses the 6-pin variety. The6-pin size is typically found on computer interfaces, hard drives, CD burners, etc. You?llnotice that one side of the plug is indented. This fits into the socket on the SE-800 one way,and one way only. It is a tight fit, for security and stability, so push straight and firmly, butdon?t force it without first making sure it is correctly oriented. If you need to run a DV cable longer than 20meters (roughly 65 feet), you must use a DV repeater, such as Datavideo?s VP-332 or VP-314 (page 62), toavoid signal loss caused by the distance. There are lots ofdifferent names for these plugs. Fortunately for us all, they are not easily confused in the size and shapedepartments, so we?ll show you some pictures. 13 For example Datavideo BAC-03 (on page 63)Outputs and MonitorsYour particular set up and application for the SE-800 will determine what video and audio devices youconnect to the outputs. Take a look at the Sample Applications, page 16 for some examples. Audio outputs are all line level, suitable for connecting to an amp, VCR, or video projector (forexample).We can?t stress enough the importance of good monitoring systems. If something doesn?t look or sound rightat the last stage of the signal path, the Main output, it can only be easily corrected if you can pinpoint wherein the signal path the problem is being introduced.Certain set ups will benefit greatly by being able tomonitor the video of each input channel, as well asthe Main output. High quality headphones allowyou to hear the audio with far fewer intermediatesteps and far more accuracy, thanks to theHeadphone controls on the front panel, than goingthrough an amp and speakers. We suggest bothmethods of monitoring, and listening to the soundthrough a video monitor?s speakers is also a goodidea. Needless to say, if you are outputting to arecord deck, you should be able to easily monitorthe output of that device as well. Connecting a Datavideo TLM-404 4? x 4 TFT LCD for four input video channels monitoring, page 60. 14 Connects to PC RS-232 serial interface for remote controlled by PC application software.Refer to the Appendix detail of RS-232 Remote Control Protocol, page 69. 15 Turn on all peripherals, then power up the SE-800. You can tell that the initialization cycle has completed when the Main Video Source LEDs (4.) and others are lit. Jump to the next sections to finish set up procedures and then explore the other basic functions described below. 16 It assumes multiple live camera feeds, analog and digital and multiple audio sources being recorded to a master recorder, in this case a DV deck.Do this: Connect the recorder, input, and monitor devices as shown. Turn on all peripherals, then power up the SE-800. You can tell that the initialization cycle has completed when the Main Video Source LEDs (4.) and others are lit. Jump to the next sections to finish set up procedures, and then explore the other basic functions described below. 17 Turn on all peripherals, then power up the SE-800.

The SE-800 provides the ability to easily and reliably monitor video and audio at both the input andoutput stages. Each input channel video can be monitored by connecting to the channel?s Monitor Output, witheither one monitor per channel as in example set ups 2 and 3 above (page 17, 18), or to a passive switchbox as in example set up 1, page 16. You should have a video monitor displaying the Main Output. This could be a composite monitor, forexample, connected to the V plug (Composite) in the Video Output section (11c, page11), or to thecomposite output of a VCR connected to the Video Output, or even, by using Datavideo DV Repeater toprovide multiple parallel DV outputs, a DV recorder and monitor. Input audio can be monitored at the Headphone jack (26.), using the Headphone controls (23.) to setthe level and the button to cycle through input busses. With the input bus set to Video (VCR), use the AudioInput selectors (2.) to audition individual sources. For output audio monitoring with headphones, set the Headphone selector to MASTER; to monitorthrough an amplifier and speakers, make sure the MASTER button is lit in the Audio Faders (21.) section. For more information, see Controls and Operations, page 23. 20 Look at the results on your program or recordmonitor.Dissolving between sources Select the Main Video Source (4.) by pressing the appropriate channel button. The LED for thechannel you have selected should be lit and you should see that source on the program monitor. Select the Sub Video Source (5.) you want to dissolve to. Make sure the Mode Selector (11.) is on Video (the LED on the button will be lit). With nothing selected in the Transitions (20.) controls (no LEDs lit on any of the buttons means noneare selected. If one is selected at power up, press it to deselect.), the default transition is dissolve. Move theT-Bar (12.) to the opposite position and watch the dissolve happen on the program monitor. You can stopthe dissolve part way through and watch a mix of the sources. Or: Select the Fade transition button (20.) by pressing it until it is lit. Set the speed for the transitionusing the SPD key on the Keypad (18.) to change the read out in the Speed window, on the right above theKeypad (1 is slowest, 9 is fastest). Hit the Take-button (20.) and watch the transition automatically happen. Press the Wipe key (20.) so it is lit. Use the Keypad (18.) to select the wipe you wish to use. Wipestyles are numbered from 01 to 24 and displayed in the left window above the Keypad. At this point you can either use the T-Bar to perform the wipe manually or set the speed on thekeypad as above and use the Take-button to do auto-wipe. For more information, see Using Transitions, page 37.Effects There are two places on the SE-800 where you can add effects: in the Special Effects section (14-16.) and in the Auto plays section (20.). Some of these work on a single source, and some need two sourcesto work. Select a Main Video source and try the following: In the Auto play section; select Freeze to grab a still frame of the Main Source video. Hit the Takebutton to cut to the Sub Video Source or move the T-Bar to manually dissolve to the Sub Video Source. Again, in the Auto play section, press the MISC button 01 buttons and then Take button toapply a strobe effect (automatic successive freeze frames) to the selected Main Source Video. Choose aspeed from the Keypad (18.): 1 is fastest (more freeze frames per second) and 4 is slowest. Press the MISCbutton 02 buttons and then Take button to apply a black and white video effect In the Special Effects section, press the Mosaic (16.) button so that the LED on the button is lit. Asyou can see, this pixilated the video, or turns it into blocky chunks. Select the size of the pixel blocks by 21 Alternately, you can enter numbers 1-8 on the Keypad. Have funpositioning the Mosaic-ed window anywhere you want. Next, try the Paint effect (15.). Press the button to engage the effect, and the LED lights. There are 4levels of intensity to this effect, with 1 being the least intense and 4 the most effected. You can enter thenumbers 1-4 on the Keypad or press the up and down arrows beneath the Paint effect button to changelevels. The level number is displayed in the Effects window above the Keypad. PIP effect (14.), which stands for Picture in Picture. As you might guess, this effect requires a Mainand Sub Video Source. Assuming you have valid inputs on Channel A and B, select Channel A as the MainSource and Channel B as the Sub Source. When you engage the effect by pressing the PIP button (andverifying that the LED on the button is lit), you will have Channel A as the Main Source (you are, of course,watching a program monitor!) and Channel B as a smaller window inset. There are two choices for windowsize (1 is largest), displayed in the Speed window above the Keypad. Change these by pressing the up anddown arrow keys beneath the Effect selection button. You can position this window using the Joystick (3.),with the button set to Position Control (LED is lit). Experiment with different window borders by first turningon the Border control (9.), then trying different sizes, colors, and softness levels. For more information, see Using Effects, page 43This concludes our Quick Start section.

Joystick and Joystick mode selector: The Joystick control can function either in RGB Color Correction mode or Position Control mode, depending on the position of the selector below it. In RGB Correction mode, you can make real time RGB white balance corrections to the Main Source video. This function (white balance adjustment) is effective only with ?Input Format selection? mode. (For more information, see RGB Color Correction, page 32.)In Position Control mode, the joystick is used to position the selected effect (Mosaic or Picture In Picture) anywhere on the screen in real time. For more information, see Using Effects, page 43.4. Main Video Source Selector: Used to select which of the four video input channels or background is sent to the Main video output. For more information, see Video Source, page 29.5. Sub Video Source Selector Used to select which of the four video input channels or background will be transitioned to or used as a sub source in an effect. 24 When the button is inactive, audio must be switched manually. To operate, press the upper button to select the channel (each press cycles the LED to the next channel), then press the lower button to select the proper format. Disengage the selectors by pressing a button in any other section on the front panel. For more information, see Input Formats, page 30.8. Color Processor: These controls become active in conjunction with the Input Format selector (7.). When that control is active, you can make adjustments to the selected channel?s brightness, contrast, color, and tint (NTSC only) by pressing the up and down arrow buttons. The LEDs on the left side of this section indicate relative steps above or below unity (the signal exits the control unchanged). Press and hold the Reset button in the upper right for 2 seconds or more to reset the Color Processor controls all to unity. The ?Reset All? button resets the color correction and RGB correction settings for all 4 inputs. For more information, see Color Processor, page 30and RGB Color Correction, page 32.9. Border: controls the border style and color for the Picture in Picture effect. This control is accessible when the Picture in Picture controls, Wipe and Zoom effects. (14.) are engaged. For more information, see Effects: Picture in Picture, page 45 and Transitions: Wipe and Zoom page 37,10. Background: when Background is selected in either the Main or Sub Video Source (4, 5.), and the On button is pressed (and the LED is lit), repeated presses of the color button cycle through the 8 possible solid backgrounds. For more information, see Background, page 46. 25 For more information, see Mode select in the Using Transitions section, page 37, and Mode select in the Using Effects section, page 43.12. T-Bar: used to manually perform a transition. For more information, see Playing a Transition Manually, page 37.13. Chroma Key: when engaged, this removes the selected color from the Main Video Source and reveals the corresponding portions of the Sub Video Source. Repeated presses of the Color up and down buttons selects the color to be removed. Repeated presses of the Level up and down buttons sets how much of the color will be removed. Color and level information are displayed in the windows above the Keypad (18.). For more information, see Chroma Key, page 47.14. Picture in Picture: puts the selected Sub Video Source in a window on the Main Video Source, with control over window size and placement. Used in conjunction with the Border keys (10.) For more information, see Effects: Picture in Picture, page 45.15. Paint: when engaged (and the Paint LED is lit), this applies a posterized effect to the selected Main Video Source. Repeated presses of the up and down buttons set the intensity level of the effect, from 1 (least) to 4 (most). The level setting is displayed in the Effects window above the Keypad (18.). For more information, see Effects: Paint, page 45. 26 There are 8 mosaic patterns to choose from, selected by repeated presses of the up and down buttons. The effect can be applied to the whole image or one of two window sizes, which can be positioned anywhere on the screen. For more information, see Effects: Mosaic, page 44.17. Preset selectors: control the 30 user programmable preset locations for storing customized effects and transitions. For more information, see Preset Bank in Using Transitions, page 37, and Preset Bank in Using Effects, page 43.18. Keypad: used to enter numerical data that controls effects or transitions. The Effects and Speed windows above the Keypad display parameter information for the selected effect or transition.19. Cursors: used as one way to position the Picture in Picture effects window.20. Transition selectors: These five selection buttons determine the transition type and allow for the selection of certain effects that are performed on the selected Main Video Input channel. The Take-button executes an auto play. For more information, see Using Transitions, page 37 and Using Effects, page 43. 27 Each is active when the LED on the Audio bus selector button (22.) above it is lit. For more information, see Audio Inputs, Levels, and Meters, page 33.22. Audio Bus selectors: the LEDs indicate which of the audio inputs are active in the Main audio output mix. Press the button to either include or exclude the channel. For more information, see Audio Inputs, Levels, and Meters, page 33.23. Headphones: controls Headphone level and signal(s) present at the Headphone jack (26.). Level is controlled by the rotary pot. Signals present are indicated by the LEDs, and are selected by repeated presses of the Headphone button. For more information, see Voice sync, page 35. 28 In other words, each time youpower up your Switcher, channel A will be selected as the Main Video Source and channel B will be selectedas the Sub Video Source.In addition to selecting which video input channel will be present in the Main and Sub Source busses, youmust also select the appropriate format for each channel in use. (See Input Format, below.) If the incorrectformat is selected or if there is no valid video signal present, you will see frozen or distorted video when thatchannel is selected for output. For example, if you have a DV Bank connected to channel A through the DVIn port, and you have selected channel A?s input format to be composite, you will see a freeze frame, even ifthe DV Bank is playing a clip. You will also see a freeze frame if the DV Bank is not in play mode, even if DVis selected as the input format.Tech note: The frozen image is a function of how the time base corrector (TBC, a.k.a. frame synchronizer)works.
