General
Q: What type of internal processing does the SE-900 have?
The SE-900 has 8-bit internal processing.
Q: Does the MS-900 support high definition signals?
No, the MS-900 only supports standard definition signals.
Q: How do I change the size of the blocks inside the mosaic box?
Press the “mosaic” button to enable the blocks. Press “Position Control” button under the joystick. In the transition section, press either the large square box button or the smaller button to increase or decrease the block area (These buttons are next to the AB button). Press the speed key to increase or decrease the block distortion size.
Q: I want to make a longer serial cable to extend the distance from my SE-900 controller to the switcher. What type of cable is required?
A standard db-9 (pin to pin) male to female cable can be used. Do not use a cross pin type db-9 cable. When extending the distance of the controller, we recommend using the included power supply to provide power to the controller.
Q: Will the optional SDI output card embed audio from the SE-900’s analog XLR input?
Yes, the optional SDI output card will embed audio from the analog XLR input.
Q: Can we mix between DV sources and Analog sources?
Yes, the SE-900/MS-900 can actively switch between any of the available input sources.
Q: Can I mix different signal types, for example source #1 is S-video, source #2 is composite and source #3 is DV?
Yes, the SE-900/MS-900 can mix multiple signal types and even color correct each input, so they will look uniform when you switch between them.
Q: Are all of the SE-900/MS-900 video signal outputs active at the same time?
Yes, all signal outputs are active at the same time, so even if your incoming signal is from composite, you will be able to output a DV signal.
Q: Does the SE-900 output PST (Video CPST on the BNC) at the same time it outputs the Multiviewer on DVI?
A: Yes, the PST will output a composite full screen next source preview, while the Multi-view outputs are active.
Q: Is the SD card with LOGOS on Control Card used for Firmware Update as well?
A: Yes, the same card is used for both applications.
Q: Can I safely remove this card without affecting the SE-900 and load the new LOGOS on it, then reinstall the card?
A: Yes, the card can be hot swapped.

Q: How do I setup 16:9 widescreen output on the SE-900/MS-900?
In the SE-900 menu, select option Video Out, and then change the aspect ratio to 16:9.
We are bnptv.info internet tv and we use SE-900. We try to change video output on SE-900 from 4:3 to 16:9 -and the output video is always 4:3. Why? Did we missing something. The operation is – set Video out and change aspec ratio from 4:3 to 16:9 – and nothing happend. The image doesn`t change! If we change the camera from 4:3 to 16:9 image change, but the mixer output is still 4:3 although the video out is set to 16:9. Please, help us!
Hi Peter,
There are different aspect ratio settings in the SE-900 menu. There is an aspect ratio setting for Analog and DV out, an aspect ratio setting for the SDI out and an aspect ratio setting for the Multi-View output. Please make sure that you set the correct aspect ratio setting to 16:9.
thanks!
