Description
The SE-2600 is an HD 8-input live production switcher designed to provide broadcast-quality video switching for multi-camera events. It supports up to 1080p/60 input and output and offers a combination of 4x 3G-SDI and 4x HDMI inputs. The unit is purpose-built to manage live mixes, overlays, and multi-layer effects in real time.
The switcher integrates advanced processing features including 4 upstream keyers, 2 downstream keyers, 4 picture-in-picture windows and a 2D transition DVE. It includes preloaded stinger transitions, 50 virtual backgrounds and user-importable animated logos to expand creative options. Crosspoint assignment lets operators remap physical inputs and outputs quickly for changing production layouts.
Video processing supports SDI 4:2:2 and HDMI YUV 4:2:2 or RGB 4:4:4 to preserve color fidelity across sources. Supported formats include 1080p/60, 1080i/60 and 720p/60 along with 50 and 59.94Hz variants. The switcher also provides up to 999 still stores at 1080p for graphics and logo insertion.
Connectivity includes 4 SDI and 4 HDMI inputs plus 3 assignable SDI outputs and 3 assignable HDMI outputs for program, preview and multiview use. Audio integration supports embedded SDI and HDMI audio channels plus analogue inputs via XLR/MIC combo sockets and RCA stereo input. Control options include RS-232 and Ethernet DVIP remote control and USB firmware updates.
The SE-2600 is suited to a wide range of live production applications including esports, concerts, sports, houses of worship and OB van deployments. Its chromakey capabilities, multiple PIPs and stinger transitions enable multi-layered, professional-looking broadcasts. The unit is rack-mountable and designed to be operated by a single technician or a small production team.
Installation and daily operation focus on usability and reliability – the front panel offers tactile buttons for fast switching and the chassis is built in a unibody design for field durability. Power is provided by a DC 12V adapter and the switcher operates across a 0 to 40 °C temperature range. Firmware updates and presets simplify maintenance and recall of complex scenes.
