How To Update Firmware On The SE-3000
Keeping your SE-3000’s firmware updated is essential.
New updates will always be available to download from
the SE-3000 product page on the Datavideo US website.
It is quite easy to update the firmware yourself.
Note: You must update both the processor and the control
panel for the firmware to take effect. If you update only
one, the menu functions on the SE-3000 will not work
correctly.
What you will need:
USB extension cord (included with the SE-3000)
USB thumb drive (not included)
DOWNLOAD THE FIRMWARE
1. Download the
latest firmware
revision from the
SE-3000 product
page on our
website:
www.datavideo.us
. It will be shown
as a zip file.
Click on the “Product
Downloads” Tab to see the
available software
downloads for the SE-
3000.
2. Open the
downloaded zip
file from your
download folder or
from your saved
directory and copy
the “se3000”
folder onto an
empty USB stick or
thumb drive.
Note: Your USB
stick or thumb drive should
only have the “se3000”
folder on the main
directory. No other files
should be saved on the
drive while updating.
Note: The SE-3000 folder should have the following files:
Release Notes.txt
Se3000 Panel
Se3000 Processor
Se3000_CP_usb_startup.bat
Se3000_PU_usb_startup.bat

2
THE SE-3000 PROCESSOR UPDATE ( Always do this first)
1. Power off the SE-3000 processor and the control panel.
2. Remove the front panel from the processor by unscrewing
the four perimeter thumb screws.
Insert the USB extension cord that came with the SE-3000
into the USB slot on the circuit board.
Connect your thumb drive to the USB extension cord.

3
3. Power on the SE-3000 processor and the control panel.
4. Press the “SET UP” button in the Menu Button Group on the
control panel to check the firmware version number.
You have now successfully updated the firmware on the SE-
3000 processor, now you can update the SE-3000 Control
Panel.
The latest firmware version number will appear under
the control panel’s firmware information on the LCD
Screen.
5. Remove the USB extension cord and thumb drive, and re-
attach the processor panel.

THE SE-3000 CONTROL PANEL UPDATE
1. Power off the SE-3000 processor and the control panel.
2. Insert the thumb drive into the USB port on the side of the
touch screen monitor on the rear of the SE-3000 control
panel.
3. Power on the SE-3000 processor and the control panel.
The Control Panel will automatically detect the thumb drive.
4. Press the “SET UP” button in the Menu Button Group on the
control panel to check the firmware version number.
You have now successfully updated the firmware on the SE-
3000 Control Panel.
The latest firmware version number will appear under
the control panel’s firmware information on the LCD
Screen.
5. Now remove the USB stick from the SE-3000 control panel, and reboot the SE-3000. This is to verify everything has
been updated. After the panel initializes, press the “SET UP” button on the control panel to check the firmware
version number. The latest firmware version number should appear under the control panel’s firmware information in
the LCD Screen. This is how you will know that you now have the latest firmware, and the update was successful.
6. If you still see the old firmware version in the “SET UP” menu, the update was not successful. Repeat the steps from
the very beginning.
NOTE: If you have any problems with completing an SE-3000 firmware update, please call the
Datavideo USA office at 562-696-2324 (North, South and Central America customers only.)

2.11 Joystick Button Group
JOYSTICK: When an applicable menu
option is open, the joystick controls the
rotation and position of certain objects in
the DVE Layers of the SE-3000.
X, Y, Z: enables or disables the X, Y, Z
axis of the joystick, allowing for more
precise user control.
NORMAL: Defaults the settings of menu
Subsequent presses will default the overall
menu settings of the switcher.
FINE: Enables the Joysticks fine control
mode.
Wipe, Flex 1, Flex 2, & Rotate
(ROT): These buttons are shortcuts to the
Wipe, Flex Source, and Rotate Menus.
Flex 1or 2 will open settings for DVE 1 or
DVE 2 respectively.
2.11.1 Normal Key
The Normal key allows menu values to be quickly set back to their ‘Normal’ or Factory
default state. When all the values on the current menu screen are at their default, the
Normal button light is off.
If any values are changed by a user from their default setting, then the Normal button will
be lit Green. If the Normal button is pressed when it is green, it will turn yellow as a
warning that the values on the current menu screen will be set back to their default setting.
It will stay yellow until you move to another menu or press NORM again.
2.11.2 Fine Key

available.
BACK TO TABLE OF CONTENTS

2.11.3 Parameter Control Knobs
The 5 control knobs located underneath the touch screen offer
more control over the parameters in the menus. When you are
in a menu, you can tap on a parameter and use the knob
directly underneath it to choose a number value.
2.11.4 Quick Menu Buttons
The quick menu buttons allow you to jump to commonly selected menus while using the
joystick. Flex 1 & Flex 2 buttons will allow control of either the Flex DVE 1, or the Flex
DVE 2 menus respectively.
(These are normally accessed with the FLEX SRC button in the “MENUS” button group).
By default, the joystick will control the X, Y, Z Position for the DVE you have selected.
However, if the ‘ROT’ button is selected at the same time, then the DVE Rotation will be
mapped to the Joystick Z-
Axis. This was designed as a faster way to control the X, Y, and
Z Position & Rotation for Flex DVE’s 1 & 2.
Pressing ‘WIPE’ jumps to the ‘Wipe Position’ Menu.
(This menu is normally accessed with the “WIPE” button in the “MENUS” button group).
2.11.5X, Y, Z Buttons
The Joystick X, Y, and Z buttons allow the joystick axis control to be disabled for
the purpose of moving a Flex DVE horizontally, without worrying about
unwanted vertical movement. If a menu has the option to use the Joystick axes,
the XYZ buttons will be lit. These axes can be disabled (turned off) as desired by
the user. When the axes are disabled the x, y, z buttons will not be lit.
2.11.6 Joystick
When an applicable menu option is open, the joystick controls the rotation
and position of certain objects in the DVE Layers of the SE-3000.
In certain menus, the joystick can also control parameters like border with,
shade size, etc.

knobs, the number keypad, or with the
Joystick.

four main key sources.
