2.3.3 Logo and Clock
The SE-2850 has the ability to store six static logos and one
dynamic logo. The logo files are transferred to the SE-2850 from
a Windows PC using the Ethernet connection and the supplied
SEConfig software. See Chapter 3 for more details on using this
software.
LOGO 1
The LOGO 1 and LOGO 2 buttons are used to display pre-
selected logos on the SE-2850 Preset and Program outputs.
When the button is active the selected logo is shown. These
logos are selected from the switcher’s memory and positioned
using a menu option see the section on OSD MENU options for details.
LOGO 2 or CLOCK
The user cannot display LOGO 2 and CLOCK at the same time. Instead use LOGO 1 and CLOCK
together or use LOGO 1 and LOGO 2 together.
The clock time can be synchronized with a computer or set manually using a menu option.
The colour and font used in the clock digits can be changed using the supplied SEConfig
software. See Chapter 3 for more details on using this software or see OSD MENU Options
onwards for the Clock menu options.
TIMER
In some mixing or switching applications it is useful to have a countdown timer. It could be
that the input is a pre-recorded video clip and you need to know when to be ready to switch
away from it.
This countdown timer function is only seen in the status area of the HDMI multi-view output
to the right of the normal Clock function. The timer can be selected for one input channel,
several channels or all channels.
When the TIMER button is active and the user switches to a selected input channel, the
countdown starts on the HDMI multi-view.
When the TIMER button is active on the selected PGM channel, the countdown timer starts
on the PGM display after the user switches to the selected PGM channel.
The value of the countdown, in minutes and seconds (MM:SS), is set by a menu option. Whilst
the countdown is in progress, T-Bar operation is ignored.
When the countdown reaches zero, the user can then switch or transition to another input
channel. If the countdown reaches zero the switcher will not automatically change to the
selected Preset source.

(9) Please remember that the PC used must be in the same IP network as the SE-2850. So
the first three octets (numbers) in the IP Address field must match the first three octets
of the switcher IP address. The fourth octet should be a different number for the PC and
switcher. In the example below, we have entered an IP address of 192.168.0.100 with
the Subnet Mask of 255.255.255.0.
Note: To reset the IP Address of the PC/laptop use the Network and Sharing Center option in
Windows 7 Control Panel. Click on Local Area Connection then Properties. Click to highlight
Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) then click Properties again. Then click Use the

3.3 Switcher tab
This first tab can be used to choose the method of connection between the computer and the
switcher. In this case the SE-2850 is connected using selected Ethernet IP addresses.
Note that the first three numbers in the IP addresses of the switcher and computer should be
the same. The last number in each IP address should be unique.
If you are connecting for the first time you may be asked by the computer to change the
firewall setting to allow this application to connect to the switcher.
3.3.1 Profiles
It is possible to store the current profile or settings of the switcher to your computer. This file
can then be restored to the machine at a later date allowing simple configuration of the unit.
Depending on the included levels of the profile this save process may take some time to
complete.
Each menu option in the left hand pane can be expanded by clicking on the plus sign in the

Before attempting to use the SE-2850’s PIP, DSK LUMA KEY and LOGO functions it may help
to first understand the order of the video layers at the SE-2850 Program (PGM) outputs.
50
Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine
The Background video layer is the normal video layer when mixing and switching with the SE-
2850. It occupies the whole screen area of the Program output. This layer can be hidden or
partly hidden by the PIP, DSK and LOGO layers in front of it.
The PIP 1 layer does not occupy the whole screen and is shown in front of the Background
video layer when enabled. In some setups the PIP 1 image can be hidden behind the PIP 2
image. This is not a fault. Change the position or size of the PIP 1 or PIP 2 image if required.
The PIP 2 layer does not occupy the whole screen and is shown in front of the Background
video and PIP 1 layers when enabled. In some setups the PIP 1 image can hide the PIP 2 image.
Change the position or size of the PIP 2 or PIP 1 image if required.
The DSK 1 layer can occupy the whole screen. If set up incorrectly this layer can stop the video
layers behind it from being seen properly. Re-adjust your DSK 1 settings or switch off the DSK1
function on the SE-2850 to restore the video behind it.
The DSK 2 layer can occupy the whole screen. If set up incorrectly this layer can stop the video
layers behind it from being seen properly. Re-adjust your DSK 2 settings or switch off the DSK2
function on the SE-2850 to restore the video behind it.
The LOGO and Clock layer does not occupy the whole screen and all other layers are visible
through it. A logo if positioned incorrectly can partially hide an important part of the video,
PIP or CG LUMA KEY layers. Typically logos or station ID bugs are placed in a corner of the
screen.
Note: Where possible prepare and position the upper video layer elements in advance of the
live production starting to avoid them appearing on the program output incorrectly.
Most broadcast networks have guidelines and advice on the use of video, images, music, logos
and on screen text so it is best to check beforehand when planning a production. Do not use
copyright protected content until you have the relevant permissions. Information on royalty
free video, images and music is widely available, speak to your local dealer or search for advice
on the internet.

Chapter 5 Audio Function
5.1 Overview
The SE-2850 has a simple, cost effective, audio switcher built in. This allows the SE-2850 to
take audio from several sources either XLR analogue, SDI and/or HDMI inputs. This audio can
be embedded onto the HDMI and SDI outputs and/or fed to the analogue XLR audio output
connections.
You may de-embed audio from selected SDI or HDMI inputs and then connect this audio from
the XLR outputs of the switcher to a separate external Audio Mixer, such as the Datavideo
AM-100. Other audio sources such as microphones and background music can then be added
at the AM-100.
Once the audio has been mixed externally in the AM-100 with any microphones or music
sources it can then be fed back into the SE-2850 on the analogue XLR inputs. The SE-2850 can
then embed this externally mixed audio on to the Program SDI and HDMI outputs.

As each SDI / HD-SDI source can have up to sixteen channels of audio, and HDMI eight
channels, we need to choose the audio channels with the options above and by using the
following reference tables.
In some cases there may only be two channels of audio associated with the video: Group1,
Stereo Pair 1.
53
Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine
An external audio mixer is not required. If you just want to work with SDI / HDMI embedded
audio, it is necessary to physically connect the switcher’s XLR outputs with the XLR inputs 1
and 2 to re-embed the audio again.
It is also possible to hear the preview or program audio from the multi-view HDMI outputs
using the menu option below.
54
Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine
5.4 Audio Menu Options – Changing the audio input level
The SE-2850 can change the incoming audio level on the video inputs by adjusting the
following menu option.
The audio level can also be changed at the external audio mixer if one is used.
We have two mono mics (channels 1 & 2) connected to a HD camera. These embedded audio
channels are then output from this camera, HD-SDI, to the SE-2850 switcher. If we want to
only hear these two audio channels regardless of the video channel used then we would set
up the switcher in the following way.
Open the Switcher Configuration Utility, click Settings Tab Audio Tab and then click ‘+’ to
expand the Audio XPT option. On the right pane of the window, set every input audio source
to 1. Press the EXIT button to exit and save the audio settings.
After the new settings are saved, press the FIX/A+V button (WIPE area) to
toggle between Audio Fixed and Audio-Follow-Video modes. Confirm that
the AUDIO FIXED status has been selected by checking the status area of the
HDMI multi-view. The status area is located just below or near the Preview
image on the HDMI multi-view monitor. The button will be backlit red.
Open the Switcher Configuration Utility, click Settings Tab Audio Tab and then click ‘+’ to
expand the Audio XPT option. On the right pane of the window, set input 1 audio source to 1,
input 2 audio source to 2, input 3 audio source to 3 and etc. Press the EXIT button to exit and
save the audio settings.
After the new audio settings have been saved successfully, select the
AUDIO-F-VIDEO status with this button. Confirm the Audio-F-Video status
by checking the status area of the HDMI multi-view. The status area is
located just below or near the Preview image on the HDMI multi-view
monitor. The button will be off.
While working in the Audio-F-Video mode, the audio sources will also change as the video
sources are switched. We can choose how the audio will change sources, whether it be a clean
cut (immediate switch) or some sort of transitioned change (cross fade or fade out & in). To
do this we would need to set up with the following menu options.

Appendix 3 GPI / GPO Connections
The SE-2850 can control external recorder/playback devices like the HDR-45 and HDR-55 via
a simple contact closure GPI / GPO switch.
The GPI interface is a 3.5mm Jack Socket which is situated on the rear panel of the SE-2850.
Contact closure between the Outer and Inner contacts on the jack plug will trigger a user
selected event. Power is supplied by the SE-2850 and is less than 5V DC.
This GPI socket can also be used as a GPO socket to trigger record or playback events with
other equipment such as the Datavideo HDR-70 recorder.
SAFETY FIRST The cabling required needs to be designed specifically to connect the SE-2850
to the chosen record or playback device as they are not all the same. The cabling required can
be made by yourself or a competent technician. Please speak with your Dealer or local
Datavideo office to get further help and advice.

Appendix 4 Firmware Update
Datavideo usually releases new firmware containing new features or reported bug fixes from
time to time. Customers can either download the SE-2850 firmware as they wish or contact
their local dealer or reseller for assistance.
This section outlines the firmware upgrade process which should take approximately 1 hour
20 minutes to complete.
The existing SE-2850 settings should persist through the firmware upgrade process, which
should not be interrupted once started as this could result in a non-responsive unit.
1. Switch off or shut down the SE-2850 and Computer in the normal way.
2. Connect the Ethernet cable between the SE-2850 rear panel and the Windows 7
Computer.
3. Turn on the Windows 7 Computer.
4. Unzip the firmware update folder to the Computer Desktop so the file within it is easy
to locate.
5. Double click the firmware update icon to launch the Flash Update Utility.
6. Confirm the supported devices list says SE-2850 then click NEXT.
