3.1 Setting the Video Outputs
The SE-700 provides three video output channels.
There are two SDI outputs (BNC connectors) a
Output.
These video outputs are initially set as follows when shipped from the factory.
SDI 1 Factory default – Program out with DSK
SDI 2 Factory default – Program out with DSK
HDMI Factory default – Multi view output (video sources as well as Preview and Program)
Each of these outputs can be reconfigured to one of the settings below by using the menu path Setup >
Outputs
Note: Ensure at least one output is left set as Multi View so the Main Menu can still be accessed.
Note: The SE-700 HDMI multi view output only operates at the 1080P or 720P standards. This can be
useful for some HDMI and DVI monitor types. If an interlaced 1080i Multi view output is needed please
configure an SDI output for multi view instead.
3.2 Setting the Video Input Standard
The SE-700 is initially set up for the 1920 x 1080 i50 or i60 video standard when shipped from the factory
depending on your country’s video standard.
As with most HD video switchers, the SE-700 will expect all video inputs to be operating in the same
video standard as the switcher itself. If a connected device is supplying a different video format/standard
then the switcher may not display the video for that input. Change the source equipment settings to
match the switcher’s video standard or vice versa.
The SE-700 can support the following HD video standards:

The SE-700 can control external recorder/playback devices via simple contact closure GPI switch.
The GPI interface is a 3.5mm Jack Socket which is situated on the rear panel of the SE-700. Contact
closure between the Outer and Inner contacts on the jack plug will trigger a user selected event. Power is
supplied by the SE-700 and is less than 5V DC.
This GPI socket can also be used as a 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-700 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.
3.4 Tally Outputs
The SE-700 has a D-sub 15 pin female tally output port. These connections provide bi-colour tally
information to a number of other Datavideo products, such as the ITC-100 eight channel talkback system
and the TLM range of LCD Monitors. The ports are open collector ports and as such do not provide
power to tally light circuits.
The pin outputs are defined as follows:

Chapter 4 SE-700 Video
4.1 Multi View
The SE-700 Multi view output can be supplied from the HDMI or SDI outputs, see Chapter 3. The layout
of the multi view cannot be changed. The sources can be swapped around using the cross point section
of the Inputs menu.
The Multi view shows monitoring images for Preview (PVW), Program (PGM), Inputs 1~4, Still and Freeze
channels as well as SDI outputs 1 and 2.
The Multi view can also show audio level bars overlaid on the Program image. This confirms the
analogue XLR audio input is being received and embedded to the selected Program output(s).
A Red tally indication box is shown around the selected Program source. This video image is also seen at
the switchers selected Program output(s). A Green tally indication box is shown around the selected
Preview source. This will be the image source to be mixed to, wiped in or cut to next depending on the
user’s preference.
STILL image is an image pre-loaded from one of the SE-700’s frame stores (FS1, FS2 or FS3). See the
Frame Stores section for more information.
FREEZE image is a frozen image taken immediately from one of the SE-700’s four live input channels or
alternatively from one of the possible 1000 pre-loaded memory points.
Images SDI out 1 and SDI out 2 confirm what is being sent from those SDI outputs. These outputs can be
configured differently by the user, see Chapter 3. Please refer to the section on outputs menu
details.

4.2 SE-700 Video Layers
The SE-700 is a High Definition Digital Video Switcher for mixing video sources and embedding analogue
audio. It has additional functions such as Picture in Picture (PIP), Chroma / Luma Key and Down Stream
Key (DSK).
Before attempting to use the SE-700’s PIP, Chroma, Luma and Down Stream Keying functions it may
help to first understand the order of the video layers at the SE-700 Program outputs.
The background video layer is used for transitioning between Preview and Program sources. This layer
also includes any selected wipe transitions. This layer can be hidden or hidden in part by the PiP, Keyer
or DSK video layers in front of it.
The Picture in Picture(PiP) layer is used for displaying a smaller secondary image in front of the
background video layer. This smaller PiP image can be resized, cropped and repositioned by the user to
avoid an important part of the background layer being covered by it.
The Keyer layer is used for Chroma Key or Luma Key applications. The KEY video signal (foreground) is
shown in this layer and the FILL video signal is displayed in the background video layer. If set up
incorrectly, this layer can stop the video layers behind it being displayed properly.
The Down Stream Key (DSK) layer is placed on top of all the previous layers. This layer is typically used
with Character Generator inputs for displaying titles, lower thirds, clocks and logos. Datavideo offer
several Character Generator Products (additional purchase) such as CG-250, CG-350 and CG-500.
NB: Where possible prepare and position the upper video layers 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. Please speak with your local dealer or seek professional advice.

Chapter 5 Transition Effects
TRANS BG
Enables Background Transition between Program / Preset
Mix transition effect
The SE-700 allows the user several options for cutting or transitioning between the selected preview and
program video sources.
5.1 CUTTING between Sources
Cutting between sources is an instant switch from the current Program video to the selected Preview
source image. This can be achieved in two ways:
1. Each button press on the Program row will cause an instant clean cut to the selected source.
2. Select the next source on the Preset row of buttons and then press the CUT button.
5.2 Mixing between Sources
In order to mix between two video sources, first ensure the Transition Background or TRANS BG button
is ON.
Pressing MIX will select a mix transition to use when moving from the current video source on the
Program row to the selected next source on the Preset row.
The timing of this MIX transition can be manually decided when moving the T-Bar or completed over a
set time when using the AUTO button.
To change the rate of transition for the AUTO button, follow the menu path START> Transition and
change the M/E duration value in frames. If this value is small then the transition will happen quickly. If
this value is larger, then the transition will take longer to complete.
The default settings for speed buttons 1, 2 and 3 are:
• Button 1= 12 frame duration, 2= 25 and 3= 50 at 1080 i50
• Button 1= 15 frame duration, 2= 30 and 3= 60 at 1080 i60

Setup
The switcher’s OSD menu allows the user to perform several configurations of image effects, such as
Picture-in-Picture, keyers, downstream keys, still pictures and etc. The user can also configure the I/O by
selecting the Inputs and Outputs options. In addition, under the setup options, the user is allowed to set
the menu color, size, position and language.
The OSD Menu offers the user basic and advanced modes. The basic mode is generally a condensed
version of the advanced menu mode. The following sub-sections will show you the options available in
these two modes.
7.1 Start Menu
The advanced mode options are:
The basic mode options are:
7.1.1 Transition
The transition option allows the user to set the transition duration, in frames, for switching to the PGM
view when using the AUTO, DSK and FTB buttons. The sub-options are (AUTO) Mix Effect (M/E),
Downstream Key (DSK) and Fade-To-Black (FTB). If the M/E is set to a value of 50 then the transition will
take effect over a period of 50 frames or roughly 2 seconds. To see the default values of the transition speed buttons press them in turn 1, 2, 3 whilst the START menu is displayed. These default values for the
speed buttons cannot be changed but a different user defined M/E value can be set instead. When the
AUTO button is pressed, the transition will take the current M/E value. This will be defined either by the
user setting the M/E value or the currently selected speed button. If all three speed buttons are white
then the user defined M/E value is active. If a speed button is backlit blue then the default value for that
button replaces the user set M/E value.

Basic mode options
7.9.1 Outputs
In general, there are three output ports (SDI 1, SDI 2 and HDMI) available, which can be configured to
output one of the following:
• Freeze
• Still
• Input 4
• Input 3
• Input 2
• Input 1
• CLN PVW (Clean PVW)
• CLN PGM (Clean PGM)
• PG + DSK
• PVW
• PGM
• MultiV (Multi view)
In addition to selecting your output source, you are also allowed to set two different resolutions to the
HDMI output port. The two available resolutions are 1080i and 1080p.
41
Please note that when HDMI OUT is set to 1080i, image will be enlarged on the DELL 24” monitor (Wide
Mode = 1:1), exceeding the viewable screen area (overscan). In 1080p and 720p modes, image overscan
and shifts are seen on BENQ 37”/SONY 42” TV.
7.9.2 Audio
The Audio sub-options for the SDI and HDMI outputs allow the user to individually turn ON/OFF the
embedded audio component at the SDI1-out, SDI2-out and HDMI-out.
Mode (Off/Analog): The SE-700 can only accept external audio using the analogue XLR inputs on the rear
panel. Ideally a master audio mixer would be used alongside the SE-700. A Datavideo AM-100 or AD-200
could be considered. By changing the Audio sub option from Analogue to OFF will mute the incoming XLR
audio from the external master audio mixer.
Level (EBU/SMPTE/AUTO): 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.
7.9.3 GPI Out
This allows the user to perform GPI configuration. After turning on the GPI, select the GPI mode, which is
either level or pulse. The pulse width can also be configured in the sub-option Width (1-9). GPI out can
then be assigned to one of Inputs 1-4 and the delay can be set to between 1 and 99. This feature could
be used to trigger playback from an external playback device such as Datavideo’s NVP-20 or HRS-30 unit.
7.9.4 Multiviewer
AutoNum: The Multiview windows can be automatically numbered, and this sub-option turns ON/OFF
automatic numbering.
Label Inf: This sub-option turns ON/OFF Label information. Input label is followed by information which
describes the input as still, live or frozen image.
Trns Lab: This sub-option turns ON/OFF Label Transparency. Once enabled, the background of the label is
then turned from a solid colour to transparent.

• CK Key: K ACC 140 / K Lift 10 / K Gain 16
Q: Can we save the PGM image captured using the GRAB function to the SD card?
Currently the PGM image captured using the GRAB function is saved temporarily to INPUT 6 and will be
lost once the SE-700 is powered off. Future firmware release will allow the user to permanently save the
PGM image captured using the GRAB function to the SD card.
Q: How to import logo on the SE-700?
The SE-700 does not have the feature for importing the logo, you can upload the logo using Luma Keyer
or DSK Keyer.
Q: Why can’t I use the SE-700 Wipe Position function?
The SE-700 Wipe Position function is only supported in Wipe Mode.
Q: Why Still Frame Store does not have the memory function?
You can store a still image to any of the three Still Frame Stores (FS1-FS3), and then save it to the User
Memory. Reboot the SE-700 and then load the saved still image to the Still Frame Store.
Q: I want to keep my settings after I reboot the SE-700.
You need to execute setup/save on the SE-700. All parameters can be saved in memory 0 under the
option “user/save Mem”. In this way, the parameters can be kept even after the SE-700 is rebooted.
Q: The SE-700 cannot be powered on if the power is cut during the FW update using the USB Dongle.
49
If the power is cut or the device is switched off while the firmware is being updated (SE-700
M/B/setup/upgrade), this will cause corrupted data on the SD Card and thus the SE-700 will then fail to
boot. The SD card will need to be re-programmed.
Q: I cannot roll back to older SE-700 SW versions.
Yes, this is because the system structure has been modified, if you have used SE-700_v0.9.9.4 and above,
you will not be able to roll back to older versions.
Q: On the control panel, F3 button does not have any function.
F3 button has been defined as “Restoring to Default” in V_1.0.0.0.
i. Pressing F3 button while in the second level sub-option of one particular function resets all
parameters of that sub-option to default.
ii. Pressing F3 button in the first level option of that particular function resets all parameters of that
option to default.
Q: What are the options under Outputs/Audio/Level in the MENU?
AUTO, SMPTE and EBU are the three sub-options available for the option Analog Audio Level. Three
different digital audio level specifications give the user flexibility to choose whether to use the American
Standard or the European Standard. If AUTO is selected, then the SE-700 will automatically use
i. SMPTE SPEC (-24 dBFS) when the resolution settings are 1080i/59.94/60 and 720P/59/60; and
ii. EBU SPEC (-18 dBFS) when the resolution settings are 1080i/50 and 720p/50.
Q: Under the option Setup/Standard, 1080i/50 mode is selected and nothing is seen on the HDMI
output to Datavideo’s TVS-1000.
When the SE-700 is set to 1080i, the HDMI output resolution will be set to 1080p, which is not supported
on the TVS-1000 and this is why you cannot see anything on the screen.
Q: Under the option Outputs/HDMI PORT, assign the output to be PGM SOURCE but it will be
automatically switched back multiviewer.
The SE-700 output consists of two SDI OUT and one HDMI OUT, and if the system detects that all three
outputs are set to sources other than multiviewer, the system will then force to reset the HDMI OUT to
multiviewer.
Q: When PIP PGM and PIP PVW buttons are turned on at the same time, PIP is not displayed on PVW
screen, and if only the PIP PGM button is turned on, PIP is seen on both PGM and PVW screens. The
same issue occurs in KEYER and DSK.
The SE-700 exhibits different behaviors from the SE-2200.
Turning on PIP PVW/KEYER PVW/DSK PVW displays the effect on the PVW screen. Turn on the PVW, and
after the effect is configured, turn on PIP PGM/LUMA PGM/DSK PGM to take the effect to PGM view.
(The user can also use the CUT button or T-BAR to perform the transition. If only the PIP PGM/KEYER
PGM/DSK PGM is turned on, you will see the effect on both PVW and PGM views.)
Q: PIP image does not fill the PIP screen.
When X = 0, Y = 0, and Size = 100%, PIP image fails to fully fill the PIP screen (or the initial position is
incorrect), a few lines will appear at the bottom and when switched to underscan mode, the top and
bottom of the background image on the PIP screen can be seen through.
Q: In the Still option, images are sometimes distorted if they are captured from live video fed into
Inputs 1-4.
It is recommended to use still images in the Still option.
50
Q: Is CUT transition available for DSK function?
DSK function supports CUT transition from firmware version V 1.1.0.5 onwards.
Q: What are the expected behaviors of PIP/LUMA/DSK buttons?
PIP PVW/Keyer PVW/DSK PVW Button ON: Effect displayed on PVW Screen; after configuring parameters
of PIP/Keyer/DSK, enable PIP PGM/Keyer PGM/DSK PGM to switch PIP/Keyer/DSK to PGM Screen (or the
user can use CUT or T-Bar to perform transition; CUT is not available for DSK though). If only PIP
PGM/Keyer PGM/DSK PGM are enabled, then the effect is displayed on both PVW and PGM screens.
Q: Why can’t image captured using the Freeze function be found after the SE-700 is restarted?
Image captured using the Freeze function will be lost after power is switched off. However, you can save
it as a still image if you want to keep it.
Q: Can PIP/KEYER/DSK be enabled at the same time?
Yes, PIP/KEYER/DSK can be enabled at the same time with PIP at the bottom most layer, Keyer in the
middle and DSK on the topmost layer.
Q: 720p Video output on HDMI-1 cannot be displayed on TLM-700HD.
Please use TLM-170H/170P/434H for such application.
Q: Parameter scroll is only one-direction, i.e. once the end of the list is reached, the user should
reverse the direction of the scroll to go back to another end of the list.
Some of the parameters allow the user to cycle through the available values, whereas other parameters
allow only one direction scroll.
Q: Is there any indication of PIP/Keyer/DSK enable?
There are two indications of PIP/Keyer/DSK enable:
1. There are tally indications for channels set to key and fill sources of PIP/Keyer/DSK.
2. Borders of screens of the multiscreen assigned to PIP/Keyer/DSK will be lit with a color. Also, the
PIP/Keyer/DSK button will be lit.
Q: The user is prompted of the warning of insufficient volume capacity while updating firmware on
WIN8 Operating System.
In the case of upgrading the keyboard firmware, the user should delete the original firmware file first
before copying the new firmware file to the device.
Q: MENU Setup options are not included in the Last Memory.
To remember the new MENU Setup settings, the user must execute SAVE function.
Q: When will “Auto Save function” be triggered?
Auto Save occurs when a new Menu Group is selected, also when the PC Controller App is exited.
Q: What are the 3 mini-pics below the Load Stills menu buttons?
The OSD Stills Menu now shows 3 mini-pics below the Load Stills menu buttons, and these are shown as
8-level black & white images. The Stills/ Still Num & Load buttons are also swapped.
