Datavideo SE-1000 HD/SD Video Switcher

With the growing popularity of HD video production, the Datavideo
SE-1000 Switcher Package is an interesting and viable choice for small production companies, churches, OB vans and corporate production departments. It supports live production using, 5 inputs (HDSDI or SDI) plus one computer and one still frame. And, it has three outputs (HDSDI or SDI).
This is ideal for venues with live HD projection and an audience that needs SD "take away" DVD's or SD for live webcasting. (Use the DAC-5 to convert SD-SDI to DV)
Since all internal processing is done in HD, you'll get the most from every input.
Included is a Linear key and self key effect for easy titling or logo insertion, and can be used with an external Character Generator.

The SE-1000 has Composite SD (and composite YUV) monitor outputs for each input.

One benefit of the package is that the monitors are included.
