The Datavideo SE-4000 is built for creators who want a powerful, ready-to-use 4K video switcher that drops straight into any live production setup. It supports up to UHD 4K60 and offers twelve physical inputs, letting you choose any eight of them for live switching. With 12G-SDI and HDMI connectivity, embedded audio, onboard scaling and a built-in 5-inch touchscreen, it gives you a complete production toolkit without needing extra gear.

Fast, Simple Control

The switcher is designed around a one-button, one-function workflow, so you can produce confidently without digging through layers of menus. Effects that normally take multiple steps can be stored into a single user preset with a custom icon. Tap once and the SE-4000 instantly recalls everything you saved.

Advanced 3D Picture-in-Picture

You get two PIP windows that can stack, resize and move anywhere on screen. You can adjust the aspect ratio, crop them into clean square frames or add shaded borders to create a more dimensional “3D-style” PIP effect. It’s a flexible tool for interviews, presentations and multi-camera commentary.

Touchscreen Control Built In

The integrated 5-inch touchscreen replaces the need for a laptop during setup or live operation. You can manage chroma and luma keying, set up transitions, load stills, insert logos, work with DSK layers, control PIP, adjust wipes and manage your user memories directly from the panel. Everything needed for production lives in one place.

Extensive WIPE Transitions

For programs that rely on transitions to set the tone, the SE-4000 includes 64 wipe patterns you can customize with different border widths, colors and softening. These smooth, eye-catching transitions help give any show a more engaging on-air look.

Flexible Input and Output Routing

Four of the inputs offer seamless switching between 12G-SDI and HDMI 2.0, giving you more freedom when connecting cameras, laptops and other sources. With support expanded to twelve physical inputs, the SE-4000 gives productions more room to grow. Laptops can be connected directly via HDMI with no software or drivers required.

Large Thumbnail Library for Still Images

The switcher can store up to 250 4K stills, making it easy to keep logos, backgrounds, graphics, scene images and captured moments ready for instant recall. These stills also help streamline any post-production work after the event.

Professional Keying Tools

With chroma key, luma key, linear key and downstream key available, the SE-4000 helps elevate your productions with polished overlays, virtual sets and composited graphics. You can combine the keyers to build advanced effects that match your show’s branding.

Audio and Video Sync Management

Live workflows often face sync issues between video frames and audio signals. The SE-4000 includes tools to help correct mismatched timing so your stream or recording stays aligned and professional.

Built-In 4K Virtual Sets and Presets

The unit includes ten virtual set templates, offering forty camera-angle variations that suit conference formats, interviews, educational programs and more. You also get 125 customizable memory presets for storing PTZ positions, keyer configurations and full scene layouts, all accessible with a single tap.

DVIP for System Integration

Datavideo’s DVIP protocol lets the SE-4000 communicate with a wide range of external devices including cameras, encoders, recorders and third-party hardware. It simplifies building a unified production system, especially when mixing equipment from different manufacturers.

Flexible Power Options

Designed for production vans and compact studios, the switcher runs on 12 VDC with low power consumption. The locking power connector works with the PD-4A redundant power unit, and the optional VMC-01 UPS provides battery-based backup when uninterrupted operation is essential.
