Datavideo SE-2200 HD Switcher Studio Kit

The Datavideo SE-2200 HD-SDI and HDMI Video Switcher is a 6-input switcher consisting of control panel and separate rack-mountable processing unit. It accepts resolutions up to 1080i60 from a combination of six HD-SDI and two HDMI inputs. The HDMI inputs work with DVI computer signals, while the SDI inputs are useful for long capable runs and connecting professional video equipment. All of the inputs are re-assignable.

The SE-2200 has six assignable HD-SDI outputs and two HDMI multi-view outputs. The SDI outputs can be Program, Program with Logo, Program with Logo and Titles, or Preview. Dual Picture-in-Picture support lets you display up to two other video sources in smaller screens over the main program output. In terms of audio, there are four XLR mono inputs (two stereo pairs) and two XLR mono outputs (one stereo pair). The switcher also supports audio embedding to the HD-SDI outputs.

A built-in TC-200 Character Generator lets one of the HDMI inputs be used to accept video from a computer with Datavideo's CG-200 software installed for title creation. You can also bring in graphics from presentaion software, such as PowerPoint, and take advantage of the switcher's Luma key feature. Additional professional features include 16 wipe transitions with border options, on-screen clock and countdown display, tally support, and RS-232 or RS-422 control. A 12VDC power adapter and cord come included.

One of the innovative features of the rack-mountable ITC-100 8-User Wired Intercom System with 4 Beltbacks & 4 Headsets from Datavideo is that it can use headsets ranging from low-cost cell phone headsets to high-quality professional units.

Up to 8 users can be connected to the ITC-100 via PTT wired beltpacks. Four beltpacks, four headsets, four cables and a tally light set are all included. Cables for connecting the beltpacks may be up to 984 ft long, and use 5-pin XLR connectors. The base station features all call and mute buttons, a mic input, built-in speaker, and standard headphone jacks.

The DataVideo HDR-70 HDD Recorder for SD/HD-SDI with Removable Drive Bay is a rack mountable video recorder for studio control rooms or video production trucks. It records NTSC, PAL, and HD video signals and features an SD/HD-SDI input and two mini-XLR recording to 2.5" form factor HDD or SSDs in a removable drive caddy. The HDR-70 features selectable color sampling ratio and data rate settings. This compact unit features a small footprint and is made from painted aluminum for strength. The front panel buttons provide you local tape deck like control of the unit, with built-in led audio level meters. The HDR-70 features two XLR inputs and outputs for balanced audio.

The included drive caddy supports available drives (both HDD and SSD) up to 500GB, and once removed from the HDR-70 the enclosures can be connected directly to a computer via the built-in USB 2.0 or eSata interface for off loading or editing directly from the drive. The unit writes to the NTFS file format system, which makes the drive readable by both Mac and Windows systems and avoids the 4GB file size limitation of FAT32 systems. For remote control, the HDR-70 features a 9-pin connector that allows control by RS-232 or RS-422. The unit is powered by 12 volts DC, and the cable connector features a locking collar so the power cable can't be accidentally unplugged.
