Chapter 3 Network Setup

The Ethernet port on the back panel of the SE-650 allows the user to import Still/Clip image or User memory using the Switcher Image Import/Export software discussed in Chapter 5. This chapter discusses direct connection between the SE-650 and your Windows computer as well as the remote setup in detail. Please note that the Switcher Image Import/Export software must be installed on your Windows-based computer before using this feature.

3.1Switcher Setup with a Windows Computer

When new from the factory the SE-650 will initially have a static IP address of 192.168.1.101. The unit can be directly connected to a Windows-based computer using an RJ-45 ethernet cable. The following set up should allow you to initially configure the unit before moving it to an existing DHCP / LAN network.

•An RJ-45 Ethernet cable.

•Windows 7/8/10 laptop or PC.

•The Datavideo Switcher Image Import/Export software.

Instructions

1.First connect the SE-650 and the Windows computer together using an RJ-45 ethernet cable.

2.Turn on the Windows computer and set it to static IP setup within the Windows Network and Sharing Centre. In our example below the computer is given the following IP settings so that the computer matches the same IP range as the switcher.

3. Now install the Switcher Image Import/Export software to the computer.

18

3.2Installing the Switcher Image Import/Export software to a Windows Computer

The SE-650 can be connected to a simple IP network and accessed using Windows-based software. If you have not already set up the SE-650 with a computer then please follow the instructions in the previous section.

Please download the latest software from the Datavideo SE-650 web page. See: www.datavideo.com

The install executable file [.msi] will be called SwitcherImageImEx_vXXXX.msi

The vXXXX represents the latest version number.

Double click this .msi file then follow the on screen install wizard prompts.

Once installed launch the Switcher Image Import/Export software.

The Switcher Image Import/Export software has a built-in IP finder, which is designed for PC with multiple Ethernet cards or DHCP network environment. Please note IP finder can only find devices that are on the same network domain as the PC. If you cannot remember your device IP, please press the RESET button to restore the default network settings. Upon launch of the Switcher Image Import/Export software, you will be prompted to select one Ethernet Interface Card.

Once selected, click OK to start the scanning process.

Note: Please make sure the selected interface card is on the same network domain as the SE-650 device.

Once the SE-650 device is found, the software will connect with the switcher hardware over the IP set up described in the previous section. If the connection is successfully established, on the software user interface as shown in the diagram below, the Connect Status will show “Connected” (will display Not Connected if disconnected).

19

3.2.1 Router Based DHCP Setup

The computer software can also access the SE-650 over an existing TCP/IP LAN type network. In order to initially set up the SE-650, you may need the assistance of your local I.T. specialist to help with the network settings. To help guide you, we have included a simplified network setup example below, further advice may be available through your dealer locally or your Datavideo regional office.

To create this simple dedicated SE-650 IP network you will need:

•An IP router which can assign/give IP addresses.

•Two RJ-45 patch leads.

•Windows 7/8/10 laptop or PC.

•The IP router Administrator login and password.

•The Datavideo Switcher Image Import/Export software.

Instructions

1.First connect the router to the SE-650 and the Windows computer using two RJ-45 patch leads.

2.Turn on the Windows computer and set it to DHCP setup within the Windows Network and Sharing Centre.

3.Now click the Windows start button and run the CMD prompt window.

20

4.At the command line > : _ type IPCONFIG and press enter.

5.The DEFAULT GATEWAY number displayed should be the router’s current IP address.

6.Enter the DEFAULT GATEWAY IP address into the address bar of the computer’s web browser.

7.The web browser should display the login window for the router. Enter the router’s login and/or password.

The login details may be written on a sticker on the router itself or noted in the manual for the router.

8.Once logged into the router we need to change the router to supply IP addresses in the 192.168.1.xxx range. Use the router’s LAN Setup or Configure LAN option to set the router’s IP address as 192.168.1.1 and click save / apply.

9.Now reboot the router and power ON the SE-650.

10.Log into the router again using the web browser and the router’s new IP address 192.168.1.1

11.Use the router’s LAN Setup or Configure LAN option again, within this option there should be another option called Address Reservation or Client List.

12.The two devices connected to the router should be listed here, the computer and the SE-650.

13.The computer, because it is set for DHCP, will already have an IP address automatically assigned to it in this list.

14.The SE-650 will also be listed with its default IP address of 192.168.1.101 if it is not changed.

15.Click save / apply then reboot the router again.

16.Close the web browser and CMD windows.

17.Now install the Switcher Image Import/Export software to the computer.

3.2.2 Setting the Target IP Address with the Switcher Image Import/Export Software

Click Setup button in the MENU SELECT pane and the current IP Network settings are shown alongside the software version.

21

If the network settings are wrong then you may not be able to access the SE-650. Always keep a note of the last IP settings used and change these settings carefully to avoid problems.

Target IP address – This IP address is the location on the local network, or the internet, where the software can talk to the SE-650. By clicking the Target IP address you can enter a new address, once entered click Save Setup. The next time the Image Import/Export Software is opened, it will try to contact the switcher on this new Target IP address.

Network – This option in the yellow menu column allows you to change the network options on the SE-650. When delivered from the factory the default static IP settings should be:

Addr Mode: Static (a manually set IP address that does not change even after power cycling the SE-650 unit)

Target IP address: 192.168.1.101

Network Mask: 255.255.255.0 Gateway: 192.168.1.1

DHCP Setup - If the IP set up method is changed to DHCP then each time the SE-650 is started, it may be given a different IP address by the network. Only use this method if you know how to find the SE650 on the internal IP network. A device on the network (usually a router or server) will automatically assign an IP address to the SE-650. The other settings such as IP address, Subnet Mask and Gateway may appear blank within the Switcher Image Import/Export software as these would be automatically set by network router/DHCP server.

Chapter 4 OSD Menu

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, in the setup option, 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 various options available in these two modes.

4.1.1 Transition

The Transition sub-option allows the user to set the MIX effect duration, in frames. 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. When the AUTO button is pressed, the transition will take the current M/E value defined by the user setting.

4.1.2 Type

The SE-650 provides three major types of transition effect, which are MIX, WIPE and Clip. Please note in addition to selecting the transition effect on the OSD menu, you are also allowed to press the MIX button, WIPE button or press MIX and WIPE buttons at the same time to enable the respective transition effects.

•If MIX is selected, set the transition duration in the “Transition” sub-option.

•If Clip, also known as the Stinger Effect, is selected, please load the clip in the “User Mems” sub-option.

4.1.3 Wipe Effects

This sub-option allows the user to select the Wipe Effect and configure the wipe’s border softness and width.

•Wipe – Selection of a WIPE effect from a set of 32 WIPE transition effects.

•Soft – A low value results in a solid edge border and a high value gives a soft diffused border.

•Width – A low value results in a thin border and a high value gives a wide border.

4.1.4 WIPE Border

In this sub-option, the user will be allowed to fine-tune the border color by adjusting the Luma,

Saturation and Hue values.

23

Note: Enable the WIPE border by setting the border width (Width) to a value greater than 0. The WIPE border is disabled when the border width is set to 0.

4.1.5 Position

Position allows the user to adjust the center position of some wipes (e.g Circle & Elipse). X represents the horizontal position and Y is the vertical position.

Horizontal Position (X)

Positive value moves the wipe center to the right. Negative value moves the wipe center to the left.

Zero value positions the wipe center at the screen center

Vertical Position (Y)

Positive value moves the wipe center up.
