Audio mixer
These CH1~CH4 Audio Level Faders are for controlling the CH1~CH4 audio
mix.
These faders correspond to the Audio Source selector buttons and control
the relative volume of each input in the master output as well as the master
output level. They are called faders because they are used to decrease
(rather than increase) the signal levels to create a balanced and pleasing
mix. When the CH1~CH4 Audio Level Faders are set at -6dB, or Unity, they
pass the audio signal through at the same level as when it entered the bus.
This is why the level setting at the Input Bus is so important.
MASTER: This Slider is for controlling the audio level for the Mixed audio
output.
Audio Input Source Selectors and Level Controls
This section of the SE-2000 controls which audio input channel (CH1~CH4)
will be sent to the Audio Bus and its associated Fader.
This row of audio channel selection buttons has LEDs built in to show which
input channel is active. Level control for each audio input source is via the
rotary pots above each of the audio channel selection buttons.
A+V:
When this button is engaged or lit, the audio associated with a selected
video input source automatically follows the video through any transition
between the Main and Sub Sources. When the A+V button is inactive, the
audio sources must be switched manually. For more information, see A+V
(Page 17).
Audio LED Meters
These meters play a vital part in correctly setting the audio levels to avoid
clipping or other distortion.
The LED style Audio meters, show the signal strength at the Audio Output.
The signal they measure is determined by the sources selected by the Audio
Bus selectors and the levels set by the rotary pots and faders.
Audio Monitor Button
Use the Headphone section to accurately monitor any of the sources (CH1,
CH 2, CH3, CH4) or “Master” output. Repeated presses of the Headphone
Audio Monitor button will cycle through the monitoring choices. In many
cases, headphones may be a more useful and accurate choice than
speakers for audio monitoring.

System Configuration Menu
Press the Menu button in the SE-2000 function section to enter the System
Configuration Menu. Press the up,down, left, and right arrow buttons to
navigate the menu options and to change values. Use the ENT button to

Logo Setting
Press the Logo1, Logo2 or Clock buttons to display the selected function on
the PVW and PGM screens. See Storing New Logos (Page 19)
Logo1 and Logo2 or Logo1 and the Clock can both be selected at the same
time. Logo2 and the Clock cannot be selected/displayed at the same time.
PIP / KEY
LUMA PVW and LUMA PGM
A Luma key can be performed between 2 inputs and the result sent to the
PVW and PGM display channels. See Setting up a LUMA Key (Page 20)

If you want to enable the PIP function, you must first press the SET key, then
press the PIP PVW key and then select the Sub Source channel for the PIP
window. The size and position of the window can be set within the System
Configuration Menu. See PIP SETTING (Page 14)
PIP PVW
Allows the user to see what the PIP window will look like and make any
adjustments before the PIP window is taken to the PGM output. Pressing the
PIP PVW button toggles the PIP window on and off using a simple dissolve.
PIP PGM
Once the PIP window is ready to be taken to air the PIP PGM button will
allow a simple dissolve in and out over the top of the current program output.
Transition Effects
There are 10 Transition Effects keys. Six of these keys relate to the available
types of WIPE effect. INV (Invert) changes the direction of the chosen WIPE.
SFT changes the softness of the WIPE edge. FRZ freezes the current PGM
image until toggled off or CUT away. MIX is a dissolve effect between the
PVW and PGM sources.
For more information, see Transition Effects (Page 12).
Transition Speed
Five buttons used to choose different speeds for a transition effect when
using the TAKE button to switch between PVW and PGM sources.
CUT
Forces an immediate switch between the selected main and sub sources.
The selected sub source becomes the main program output with no
transition effect applied.
TAKE
Starts an automated switch between the main and sub sources. The
selected sub source becomes the main program output with the selected
Transition Effect applied at the selected Effect Speed.

Audio Inputs and Levels
Analog audio comes into the SE-2000 through the XLR connectors on the rear panel (see above diagram). The
SE-2000 supports four XLR Balanced Audio Input channels.
There are two kinds of switches next to each XLR input under AUDIO IN:
The LINE/MIC switch is used to set the audio as LINE in or MIC in. When LINE in is selected please also set the
48V ON/OFF switch to OFF in order to prevent burn-out damage to the audio circuit/Mic*.
The 48V ON/OFF switch is for Phantom power. If you want to use MIC in, please set the LINE/MIC switch first,
and then if using a Condenser microphone* turn ON the 48V ON/OFF switch. If you wish to use a Dynamic
microphone please turn OFF the 48V ON/OFF switch.
*NOTE: Always double check the manual for the microphone being used to see what advice it gives
regarding power as some Mics have internal batteries too.
A+V
The Audio Input Channel Selectors and Level pots are the first stage in
the audio signal path. Each channel carries the audio associated with a
video input channel. When the A+V button is active, the audio follows the
video through a transition. This means that when this LED is lit, only one
channel of the Audio input section (CH1, CH2, CH3, CH4) can be
activated at a time. When the transition is a CUT, the audio will switch
abruptly at the same time.
Try this: With the A+V button engaged or lit, select Channel 2 on the Main Source bus (of course, you must have
a valid video and audio source connected). Notice that CH2 is lit in the Audio Source section. Now, select channel
1 on the Sub Source bus. Work the T-Bar to manually perform a transition (if no specific transition is selected, the
sources will dissolve) and watch Audio Input Source channel change from CH2 to CH1, following the video.
When the A+V button is not engaged or off, you can manually select which of the 4 Audio input channels will be
applied to the Video bus at the Fader. In fact, you have to select one or more of these channels, or there will be
no audio present at the audio out connections.
The A+V button should be inactive while doing level settings at the beginning-of-session so that you can select an
input and adjust the initial level correctly.
NOTE: Audio cannot be de-embedded by the SE-2000 from a HD-SDI input and Audio will not be
embedded into the SE-2000’s HD-SDI PGM outputs. For ideas on how best to do this before and after the
SE-2000 mixer see Example SE-2000 Set Ups (Page 17).

SE-2000 Configuration Utility
The Configuration Utility software allows a PC (running Windows XP Professional) to make changes to the mixer*
Logos tab via the RS-232 port on the rear of the SE-2000 from the PC COM1 Serial port.
This software Utility is free and can be downloaded from the following web page
http://www.datavideo.info/en/Mixer%20-%20Switchers/SE-2000
Once downloaded, run the install wizard and follow the on-screen prompts. The installation will leave an Icon on
the PC desktop as above. With the SE-2000 connected to the PC via an RS-232 cable, the initial utility screen will
be displayed as above, when the program is launched.
Storing New Logos
The Configuration Utility software allows a Windows XP Professional PC to make changes to the Logos stored
within the 14 memory slots of the SE-2000 mixer. This is done from the Logos tab shown below.
New Logos to LOAD and WRITE into these memory slots MUST be a certain size. Accepted Logo sizes are
256x192 pixels, or 512x96 pixels, or 128x384 pixels. Your new Logos need to be created in a graphics software
package first as a JPEG or BMP file. This 3rd party graphics software is not supplied by Datavideo.
* We recommend that you only use the SE-2000 Configuration Utility to add/write new Logos as changing
any other settings without guidance may cause the mixer or its set up menus to become un-usable.
