Datavideo SE2850-8 Overview

The SE-2850 HD/SD 8-Channel Video Switcher from Datavideo is a mixed format switcher with 8 HD/SD-SDI inputs and four assignable SDI and two assignable HDMI outputs for routing any combination of HD and SD video.

This switcher supports SDI/HDMI YUV 10-bit 4:2:2, and HDMI/RGB 4:4:4 color sampling for smoother color gradations. Housed in a 2 RU frame, the SE-2850 is ideal for use in both large broadcast systems or portable mini-racks for live productions. Routing is controlled via Ethernet using the included Windows software or via RS-422 control.

For advanced audio control, the SE-2850 can be connected to an external mixer (not included). Additional switcher features include dual PiP, two downstream keyers, cross-point video and audio, two independent logo functions, and a built-in title overlay system. The SE-2850 includes four XLR audio inputs with each audio channel featuring de-embedding and audio delay.
