If you can live with the latency, this is a good hdmi quad viewer for productions.

To measure the latency, start the chronometer on your phone, frame your phone's display with all the cameras linked to the HDMI switcher, and then shoot the big monitor displaying all the cameras AND the phone displaying the chronometer at the same time. On the recording, you will see precisely the latency, even the differences between each of the camera's HDMI output if any. Every monitor's review should do this kind of latency test, easy and precise.

Wanted to see if it was really seamless going from one to another.

The switches is less the problem for latency. The cameras count way more in this case

[owainreed]

It's so, so SO annoying that you aren't showing your hand while demonstrating the latency. We can't see what the latency is!!

[joeallen]

It’s insane show much these things cost considering CCTV has been around for decades and its virtually no different from the UI.

Thanks for the video. I’d like to add a DVR between the switcher box and the tv monitor to make a sports delay video feedback system. Would it work to connect the switcher box to a dvr and then use the dvr to create a delay by rewinding the video feed?

Hello! The user's OSD menu is present on the switches of this type when the signal is switched.? How did you clean it? Can I remove it with the remote?

[substantialvideo]

Interested to see if you're still using this setup? And if not have you explored anything that will superimpose lower thirds etc.

is there a more easy and cheaper solution for video-signals (no HDMI, but several cams for simultaneously watching different corners of my house, for example)? There are video-switchers with ordinary switches, but I'd need to have a smarter solution (maybe with remote and multi-viewing on TV) ...thanks

Im looking for a switcher with two outputs one for the multi view one for the final result

[legendp]

wonder how the blackmagic sdi 4 way multiviwer would compare (with using sdi to hdmi adapters)

[SoundSpeeding]

Have you measured what precisely the delay is?

[keegthegeek]

anyone know if there is something like this but with 4 composite inputs instead of hdmi inputs?

[princejaa]

It has to be a 4x1 right?
I bought 1×4

[dgstudioLLC]

the thing is you have 3 memory cards to edit with using 3 cameras. How can you use 3 cameras using a switcher and have one recording for post production?

[Sheba_]

If there's only 1 hdmi out to the monitor, how can I send selected camera for stream to the laptop..

[ProductReviewkk]

can i use this with a hdmi capture card and record video with live switching of camera angles?

[creepingedge]

Massively overpaid, from China. Worth around 30bucks

[scktv]

Well you should of walk us trough the pluging of everything....😡

[jojiran]

You have seen any professional hdmi switcher bcos HDMI aint professional!
