Datavideo SE-2600 HD 8-Channel Digital Video Switcher

Take your live productions to the next level with the Datavideo SE-2600, a professional-grade HD video switcher designed for demanding broadcast environments, live events, esports productions, concerts, corporate presentations, houses of worship, and sports coverage. Combining powerful switching capabilities with advanced production tools and broadcast-quality reliability, the SE-2600 provides everything needed to create dynamic, visually engaging multi-camera productions from a single, intuitive platform.

Built around an 8-channel architecture with four 3G-SDI inputs and four HDMI inputs, the SE-2600 offers exceptional flexibility for integrating professional cameras, PTZ systems, presentation sources, media players, and graphics computers. Supporting Full HD formats up to 1080p60, the switcher delivers smooth and high-quality video processing while providing six assignable outputs through a combination of SDI and HDMI connections for program, preview, clean feeds, multi-view monitoring, still stores, and dedicated source outputs.

Designed for sophisticated live production workflows, the SE-2600 integrates four upstream keyers and two downstream keyers, enabling advanced layering of graphics, lower thirds, logos, titles, and virtual production elements. Four independent chroma keyers with Datavideo’s unique Key Tie functionality allow the creation of complex virtual studio environments with multiple keyed sources, while automatic chroma key adjustment simplifies setup and operation.

Creative flexibility is further enhanced through support for up to four Picture-in-Picture windows, complete with customizable layouts and unique 3D border effects. Integrated DVE processing, wipe generators, stinger transitions, logo insertion, still image management, and advanced transition effects provide operators with the tools required to deliver polished broadcast-quality productions. A library of preloaded animated stinger transitions and virtual set backgrounds allows productions to achieve a premium on-air appearance without requiring external graphics hardware.

The switcher also features crosspoint assignment functionality, allowing physical inputs and outputs to be reassigned directly from the control panel without re-cabling the system. This dramatically improves workflow efficiency and provides the flexibility required for fast-paced production environments. Integrated title creation support enables seamless interaction with Datavideo CG solutions while preserving valuable input resources.

Audio integration is equally comprehensive, with support for professional microphone inputs, analog audio sources, embedded HDMI and SDI audio, audio delay adjustment, and synchronized audio/video switching. Combined with Ethernet and RS-232 remote control capabilities, the SE-2600 is equally at home in permanent studio installations, mobile production units, control rooms, and event venues.

Housed in a rugged rack-mountable chassis and featuring an intuitive control surface with dedicated hardware buttons, the SE-2600 is engineered for reliability and ease of operation. Whether managing broadcasts, esports tournaments, educational productions, worship services, sporting events, or corporate communications, it delivers the flexibility, performance, and creative control expected from a professional live production switcher.
