1. HDMI Video Output – Program / Multiview
The SE-500MU provides two HDMI video output channels
which can be connected to HDMI video display. Program is
user assignable program output and Multiview outputs
quad view of the four HDMI inputs.
2. HDMI Video Input 1-4
The SE-500MU provides four HDMI video input channels for
connecting HDMI video sources.
3. DVIP Port
This port allows the SE-500MU to connect directly to the PC
or an Ethernet switch or router.
4. TALLY Output Port
Sends Red, and Green tally signals to each channel.
Red indicates On-Air, and Green indicates next camera
source. Tally output port can connect other Datavideo
peripheral devices such as ITC-100, ITC-200, AM-100 or
other monitor models, allowing the peripheral device to
communicate with the SE-500MU or send tally signal to be
displayed on the monitor.

5. MIC IN – CH1/CH2
Two Channels of unbalanced MIC input.
CH 1 (L)
CH 2 (R)
States
MIC1
MIC2
MIC 1(L) and MIC 2(R) are
respectively connected to left (CH
1) and right (CH 2) channels.
MIC1
NC*
When MIC 1 is connected to the
left channel (CH 1) and MIC 2 is
not connected to the right
channel (CH 2), the right channel
(CH 2) switch will replicate MIC 1
signal onto the right channel (CH
2) thus both channels are MIC 1
input signals.
NC*
MIC2
When no MIC signal is connected
to the left channel (CH 1) and
only MIC 2 is connected to the
right channel (CH 2), MIC 2 signal
will not be replicated onto the
left channel (CH 1) which will thus
be grounded.
NC*
NC*
When no MIC is connected to the
two channels, the left channel
(CH 1) switch will ground the left
channel (CH 1) to prevent noise
from being generated.
*NC – Not Connected
6. Audio Input – Stereo RCA (Left/Right)
Connects unbalanced analog audio source (stereo) for
streaming and recording.
7. Audio Output – Stereo RCA (Left/Right)
Unbalanced analog audio output (stereo) for monitoring
the selected audio input source.
8. RS-232 Port
A remote control interface allowing the user to connect the
SE-500MU to a remote PC or remote controller.
10
9. DC IN
DC in socket connects the supplied 12V / 19W PSU. The
connection can be secured by screwing the outer fastening
ring of the DC In plug to the socket.
10. Grounding Terminal
When connecting this unit to any other component, make
sure that it is properly grounded by connecting this
terminal to an appropriate point. When connecting, use the
socket and be sure to use wire with a cross-sectional area
of at least 1.0 mm2.

2.3 Software Control UI
The SE-500 MU’s Software Control User Interface is designed for the user to operate, configure and
control the switcher. The Software Control UI can be opened on any Windows system so as to allow
the user to operate the SE-500 MU just like any other physical switcher keyboard.
2.3.1 Installation
Before installing the User Interface, the user should first download the latest software from the
Datavideo SE-500 MU product page by visiting www.datavideo.com.
Extract the zip file to an easily accessible location.
In the extracted folder, locate the executable file called se500MuControl.exe.
Double click this .exe file to launch the Software Control User Interface as shown below.
11
After successfully installing the SE-500MU’s Software Control UI, follow the connection setup
procedures outlined in the next two sections to establish direct connection between your PC and the
switcher.
2.3.2 Connect on DVIP Interface
To connect to the SE-500MU on the DVIP interface, you should configure the network settings of the
switcher as well as the PC.
1. Connect one end of the Ethernet cable to SE-500MU and another end to the PC.
2. Turn ON the PC power and since the SE-500MU has a default IP of 192.168.100.101, we have set
the PC’s IP address to 192.168.100.102 as shown in the diagram below.
12
3. Power ON SE-500MU.
4. Run se500MuControl.exe to launch the User Interface.
5. At the top right of the interface, click the menu icon to open the Settings window.
6. On the Settings window, click the Connect tab.
7. Click the Interface pull-down menu to select DVIP.
8. Click the EtherNetCard pull-down menu to select the IP of the Network Interface Card connected
to the SE-500MU’s DVIP port. After that, click the Scan button to scan the network for all the
connected DVIP devices.
9. On the IP Select pull-down menu, select the SE-500MU’s IP address.
Note: On the rear panel of the SE-500MU, push the IP RESET button to display the device’s
physical IP and MAC addresses on MV out.
10. Now scroll down the Connect tab page to view the switcher’s IP information and check if the
Model Name displayed is “SE-500MU.”
Note 1: If the Address Mode is “Fixed IP,” please make sure the IP address is in the same IP range
as the EtherNetCard, i.e. their first three octets are the same.
Note2: In a router connection scenario, if the switcher’s IP address is in a different IP range from
that of the EtherNetCard, you can simply change the Address Mode to DHCP so that the router will
be allowed to automatically assign an IP address to the switcher. After the new IP address has
been assigned, please repeat Steps 8 and 9 to scan the network and select the corresponding IP
address. Please remember to click the IP Save button to save the IP settings.
PS: Depending on the router settings, the IP assignment time may vary. You may experience 10 to
50 seconds of delay. However, most routers should assign an IP address to your device
immediately. If necessary, you may have to reset your IP address and confirm the IP assignment
on the Multiview.
