Whittier, CA – January 3rd 2017 – Datavideo, the leading manufacturer of complete live video solutions, is proud to announce a new HD video switcher, SE-650; and an H.264 USB recorder, HDR-1.
SE-650 is a four input standalone HD video switcher that is compact and loaded with professional features. It has two HD-SDI and two HDMI inputs, making it an ideal switcher solution for a small production in any application. A unique feature of SE-650 is the built-in four channel audio mixer with microphone and RCA audio inputs. This is great for AV applications such as corporate meetings, presentations, and panel discussions. In addition to the built-in audio mixer, SE-650 has professional switcher features such as DSK, Chromakey, Lumakey, PIP, still store, and user memories. Using SE-650 in conjunction with HDR-1 gives users an all-inclusive package for switching and recording a video production.
HDR-1 is a standalone H.264 USB recorder that is portable and easy to use. It records MP4 (H.264_AAC) format video files, which is ideal for archiving footage from a worship seminar, corporate meeting, school morning announcement, or a live concert. One of the advantages of HDR-1 over regular recorders is that it works independently of a PC.
The professional features and user-friendliness of the SE-650 and HDR-1 make the pair great for small productions in various vertical markets including:
Education – Morning announcements, school plays, sporting events, and award ceremonies
Worship – Weekly services
Corporate - Special events, Conferences, and Corporate training's
“There is no easier way to produce and record a live video production than with the SE-650/HDR-1 combo”, states Craig Moffat, Managing Director for Datavideo US. “Anyone who has limited experience with video production will appreciate how easy it is to create professional results without the steep learning curve”.
