Does it show a glitch or delay when switching between sources?
A shopper
on Jun 29, 2017
BEST ANSWER: From my understanding if you have actual, properly-synced sources, it wouldn't glitch. I can't confirm that, however.
If you're switching between normal sources (i.e. direct cameras, etc.) yes there's a glitch while your end-device syncs with the new source; much like if you -very- quickly swapped source cables instead.

Yes it will. I have not tried it with synced sources but even then I expect it to show (at least) a little glitch, although I expect it to be less.

Please note that it is not Vertical Interval Switch. It is simple switch over switch. No glitches and delay evident. We using as a sdi redundancy Switch. Good product.

It doesn't glitch IF your sources are properly timed (synced) but the switch cannot time things.

Is this switch able to be set to automatically switch between cameras? and have a dwell on each channel?
A shopper
on Feb 13, 2018
BEST ANSWER: This switch requires the user push the select button on the front to switch between inputs. I am not familiar with dwell, but I can tell you this is a "clunk" type of switch and is NOT seamless. The image jumps and shakes for a few seconds when you switch inputs.

Negative - It is a manual switch. If you look at the picture of the front panel it has a basic A-B function. It's simple but works well.

Does this product accommodate an "Auto Source" feature or is the input select only manual?
A shopper
on Jul 10, 2018
BEST ANSWER: It's direct line input. You switch from "A" to "B". The issue that you could face is if the unit excepts the SDI signal in.

Is this an instant transition or does it have a crossfade?
A shopper
on Aug 9, 2018
BEST ANSWER: This is not a seamless video switcher. This is a good little sub switcher. It comes in handy when your seamless switcher doesn’t have enough inputs available or if you are in a setting where smooth transitions aren’t necessary.

There is no cross fade transition--it is instant. However, when switching inputs, there is a slight glitch. I would not recommend switching sources in a live environment, but other than that, this switch works flawlessly.

Does this have frame sync for clean switching?
A shopper
on Jan 4, 2019
BEST ANSWER: I have not had a chance to experiment with this unit yet. My intention is to monitor from two HD monitors so that I can switch between the feeds of two cameras to my one Black Magic sci monitor.Looking at the manual there is an equaliser circuit to support long cable runs. The unit also supports several video standards but I can't see that there is frame sync for clean switching. For the $50 price tag this is a basic switcher. I'll try and flag up a report when I've got the cable loom made up and I've had a chance to do a test with monitors.

IF the audio is embedded it will pass it, it does not accept separate A/V signals, just what's on the HD-SDI.

I'm working on a project in a vehicle where I can switch between a rear camera and front camera. Both cameras are identical and provide a LVDS signal via Fakra connections. If I use adapters to make the connections, is there any reason this device won't this work? Is there a different switch I should use for this application?

Do both inputs have to have identical resolutions? i.e. can Source 1 be 720p 59.94Hz and Source 2 be 1080p 59.94Hz?
