Datavideo SE-3200 12-input SDI/HDMI HD Video Mixer

The Datavideo SE-3200 is a professional video mixer with 12 inputs (8 SDI and 4 HDMI) supporting Full HD 1080p resolutions. In addition, each input has a built-in scaler capable of up and down conversion, making it a versatile choice for live productions. The switcher is designed to be easily installed in a 19-inch rack, with a separate control panel that can be placed on flat surfaces or integrated into outdoor broadcast vehicles.

This switcher is ideal for both television studios and mobile outdoor broadcast units due to its compact design and ease of mounting. In addition to its video processing capability, it includes a range of advanced effects, such as chroma key, luma key, DVE, transition generator, and the ability to insert logos and stored graphics.

Among its advanced features, the SE-3200 allows the creation of up to 8 Picture-in-Picture (PiP) images, each with unique three-dimensional borders that are adjustable in size and position. These visual capabilities are ideal for broadcasts that require multiple layers of visual information, such as live news, sports or hybrid events.

The SE-3200's FlexSource functionality expands the mixer's capabilities by allowing the creation of complex compositions that simulate the power of a 2 M/E mixer, which is unusual for 1 M/E equipment. This tool allows complex setups to be saved and recalled at the touch of a button, making it easy to work on productions with multiple layers and transitions.

The SE-3200 also offers an advanced virtual studio experience thanks to its 4 chroma keyers with automatic functionality and the key tie system for handling multiple virtual backgrounds simultaneously. This makes it a complete solution for those looking to create seamless virtual environments.

In addition, it includes animated Stinger transitions and animated logos, as well as a virtual background generator with up to 50 pre-defined backgrounds. This gives producers the ability to incorporate custom graphic elements in real time, enhancing the visual presentation of any live event.

Finally, the integrated CG title creator converts a PC's HDMI output into a full graphical interface, ideal for managing on-screen graphics with Datavideo's free CG-200 software. In addition, the dual Multiview system allows up to two monitors to be connected and preview layouts to be customised, enhancing control and visibility during production.
