The SE-500HD provides two types of transition effect, which are cross dissolve (MIX) and WIPE. The
default setting is MIX.
3.1.2 Transition Speed
The Transition Speed allows the user to set the MIX or WIPE effect duration, in frames. If the
Transition Speed is set to a value of 60 then the transition will take effect over a period of 1 second if
the progressive video is chosen and 2 seconds if the interlaced video is chosen. When the AUTO
button is pressed, the transition will take the current Transition Speed defined by the user.

The WIPE Border Size generally allows the user to select an appropriate border width. Setting the
WIPE Border Size to OFF turns the border off. Setting this parameter to small selects a thin border;
middle will yield a medium size width; large is the maximum wipe border width.
3.1.5 WIPE Border Color
In this option, you will be allowed to select a color for your wipe border. The available colors are listed
as follows:
•White
•Yellow
•Cyan

3.5.1 Mute
The Mute allows you to turn ON/OFF the embedded audio component at the HDMI-in. The default is
OFF.
3.5.2 HDMI Input
In this option, you can select the audio source. Selection of input 1-4 allows the SE-500HD to play the
enabled audio source. If “Follow” is selected, the audio will enter Audio follow Video mode, i.e.
playback of the audio of the output video.
3.5.3 HDMI Group
The HDMI Group allows the user to assign the HDMI audio channel. The default audio channel is
Channel 1/2. Any audio channel pair of the four audio channel pairs can be selected.
3.5.4 Level
There are two different audio standards available for selection. The user can either select the EBU or
SMPTE standard. By selecting AUTO allows the device to automatically detect the audio standard.
When the image is 50 Hz, the audio follows EBU standard and when the image is 59.94/60 Hz, the
audio follows SMPTE standard.
3.5.5 Tally Mode
Tally output port generally sends two tally signals to each channel. In Datavideo products, Red
indicates On-Air, and Green indicates next camera source.
The SE-500HD provides two tally modes:
Normal: If in normal mode, tally lights of all camera sources displayed on the PGM monitor will be
turned ON (Red). These sources include PGM, PIP and Key sources. While transition is in progress, the
next video will be seen on the PGM monitor, tally light of the PVW source camera will thus also be
turned ON (Red).

20
Audio Mixer: If Audio Mixer mode is selected, tally light of the PGM source camera selected on the
keyboard panel will be turned ON (Red). While transition is in progress, the tally light color will remain
unchanged. The tally light color will only change (red/green) after the transition of PGM and PVW
views is complete.
