Datavideo SE-2600

The SE-2600 is an eight-channel HD digital video switcher built for live events that lean on keying, from esports and sports to concerts and virtual studios. It carries four 3G-SDI and four HDMI inputs, each with its own scaler so mismatched cameras and computers all lock to the program format, and it drives six outputs, three 3G-SDI and three HDMI, at up to 1080p60. Output assignments are flexible, covering multiview, PGM, PVW, clean feeds, and any individual input.

The keying toolset is the headline: four upstream keyers handle chroma, luma, and linear keys for a complete virtual-studio look, backed by four PIPs, two downstream keyers, and two independent animated logos. Stinger transitions and a 2D DVE round out the effects. A built-in multiview lets a single operator watch every source and both buses at once, and the base unit mounts into a standard 19-inch rack for a fixed or flypack install.
