Did You Know The SE-4000 and HS-4000 Now Have 12 Inputs?

Expanded Input Options for Professional Workflows

With this update, the SE-4000 and HS-4000 now support:

Eight 12G-SDI Inputs

Designed for long-distance signal runs, 12G-SDI inputs allow cable lengths of up to 300 feet, making them ideal for large venues and multi-camera installations. These inputs pair perfectly with Datavideo’s latest 12G-SDI cameras, including the new PTC-325G.

Four HDMI Inputs

For shorter cable runs and maximum compatibility, the additional HDMI inputs support laptops, consumer and professional cameras, and media playback devices. This combination gives producers the flexibility to mix SDI and HDMI sources seamlessly within a single setup.

Optimized for 4K and HD Productions

Whether your final content is 4K up to 30fps or HD 1080p up to 60fps, both switchers now offer full use of all 12 channels. Producers also gain access to the SE/HS-4000’s advanced feature set, including:

Four keyers
Four downstream keyers (DSKs)
Comprehensive layering and effects capabilities

This expanded capacity opens the door to more sophisticated live productions, including hybrid events, multi-angle broadcasts, corporate presentations, and high-end streaming workflows.
