Welcome to Datavideo Academy. This video will introduce the multi-camera system configuration centered around the SE-2600, providing a reference for your practical applications. We’ll use a six-camera HD broadcast setup as an example.
First, let’s look at the inputs. For cameras, we use six PTC series cameras in conjunction with the RMC-300A camera controller. You can also use PTR robotic pan tilt head if needed, or ENG cameras with the ITC-300 digital intercom system. Additionally, two laptops are used, one for PPT/AUX input and the other with CG-500 graphics character generator for CG image input. For audio, sound is taken from the public address system and processed through an AD-10 audio delay unit.
Next, let’s examine the outputs. Two outputs use TLM-170V monitors to monitor PGM and Multiview. One output goes to the television wall for live broadcast. Another output is connected to an HDR-80 recorder for primary recording. Another output uses an NVS-35 for live streaming and backup recording. Finally, there is an output for on-site monitoring.
Now, let’s look at the hardware connections, starting with the inputs.
For video, connect four SDI and two HDMI lines to the PTC cameras, then use a router to connect the PTC cameras to the RMC-300A. For connecting the RMC-300A to the PTC cameras, please refer to the RMC-300A tutorial video, which is not covered here.
You can also replace the PTR robotic pan tilt head or use ENG cameras with the ITC-300 based on site needs. For connections with the PTR and ITC-300, please refer to their respective tutorial videos.
The remaining two HDMI lines are used for one laptop providing PPT or AUX input and the other connected to a CG-500-equipped laptop for CG image input.
For audio, connect the public address system and use an AD-10 for audio delay.
That covers the input connections. Now let’s move on to the output connections.
For monitoring, use HDMI 1 and 2 to connect to the TLM-170V monitors, viewing PGM and Multiview respectively. HDMI 3 connects to the television wall for live broadcast.
For recording, use SDI to connect to the HDR-80 for primary recording. If you need to simultaneously record other video sources besides PGM, you can connect up to four additional video sources to the HDR-80 for four-channel HD synchronous recording.
For live streaming, connect via SDI to the NVS-35. If necessary, insert an SD card into the NVS-35 for backup recording.
The remaining SDI output can be used as needed based on the actual situation.
Finally, don’t forget the monitoring headphones.
That concludes the output connections. Lastly, let’s look at the OSD settings of the SE-2600.
Start with the input page. For inputs 1-8, select the live video sources. For input 8, set the mode to CG Mode.
Next, in the keyer page, select Downstream Key 1. Set both source signal and fill signal to Input 8, keyer mode to Linear, and source mode to split. This allows you to use the control panel DSK 1 key to enable the CG image.
Now, let’s review the output page. HDMI 1 and 2 correspond to the two TLM-170V monitors, set to program and Multiview respectively. HDMI 3 corresponds to the television wall, set to program. SDI 1 and 2 correspond to the HDR-80 and NVS-35, set to program. The remaining SDI 3 output can be used as needed based on the actual situation.
Finally, review the audio settings page. Set the source to External. Select MIC for Audio In. Gain and delay adjustments are recommended to be handled at the public address system and AD-10.
That concludes the introduction to the SE-2600’s multi-camera system configuration.
