So what you're saying is that the audio follows the HDMI feed and there is no way to lock the audio to a specific feed.

I would like to know how well will it work with a wireless mic? same audio plug i.

[@alantuttphotography]

Really like the fact that this has a built-in screen showing the various inputs.

[@hwcentertainment]

To solve the sync issue. You can send an audio input into one of the cameras and then pick the audio from there.

[@timm2020]

I love how back when I started production people were trying to get away of Linear editing and systems. We were so happy when PC based editing etc came out. I remember getting the Titlemaker 3000 and was so happy. Now people are trying to go back to more of a Linear systems. I mean uyes they are mostly Computer controlled, but still old school.

[@diverdown68]

Great video, covers all the questions I had about the unit. Being able to use the HDMI or the usb output, as either program or preview, is a big plus over the atem mini!

[@diverdown68]

I do both live events that need to send to a projection system and big screens, and I also do on location streaming events, being able to use either the HDMI or the usb out to do both program and preview, makes the unit so much more flexible for my uses over the atem mini! Thx again for the info really helped me make my decision. I've ordered a unit and it's on its way. Will be a great addition to my tech kit 😁👍

[@MrDouglassBrown]

I love that you have FF3 playing on HDMI4!!

[@slygamer01]

Audio sync was also out when showing embedded audio with AFV. Not as badly out of sync when using the Line In input, but looked like it was out of sync by the three frames we usually expect from HDMI.

[@klaernie]

The PIP wierd-aspect-ratio modes might be useful for some 3d applications - imagine rendering stuff on two render pcs and then rejoining them as a side-by-side 3d stream going to a projector.

you can offset the audio in OBS. to set it back in place.

[@ROBHIPP]

Thanks for the great review on this product. You can offset the audio in OBS if the video is out of sync.

[@ShutTheMuckUp]

Yeah, there's gonna be latency running the audio separately through a mixer, but it gives you the most control over your audio. OBS can fix that latency.

[@ShutTheMuckUp]

This technology has come so far since Tom Green built a studio in his living room so he could livestream multicams 15 years ago... If you were starting from scratch, you can have a full functioning 3 camera studio for about 3 grand. That's unbelievable.

[@Wysiwyg101]

In the conference world we tend to not use any of the wipe transitions very often. On a personal level I'm not a big fan of the T-Bar. It gets in the way. However, there is one scene that I do like using it. That's when we start the main program with a patriotic theme with a Color Guard and a Vocalist singing the National Anthem. I will also have a computer playing a flag waving in the wind on a loop video. I will then use the T-Bar to very slowly transition between the vocalist and the flag with the main focus being the flag more than the vocalist. After all, that moment isn't about the vocalist. But, it still makes for a nice shot. That's been the only time I've ever really used the T-Bar on any switcher. Well, except for the time we pranked our friend Matt with it. Thanks for a great video. This little switcher looks like it has some really good simple capabilities with some really good stuff hidden under the hood.

[@aaronlandon314]

My primary use of a T-Bar besides slow transitions is to have the ability to bail out or reverse before anyone else can really see what's going on if say video playback didn't fire or I called up the wrong camera.

[@jamesdemaio5234]

You have a choice to use either the t-bar or have the unit switch when you select the next program source.

[@Wysiwyg101]

@@jamesdemaio5234 Sure, I get it. Use it or not. However, if i choose to not use it, it is still in the way.

So USB could send the signal to a laptop with OBS while the hdmi out could be used for a multiview on a bigger monitor ?

[@JmithJefferey]

Yeah I’m pretty sure you can do that. He mentioned it towards the beginning while talking about sending signals to his laptop for multiview. You can change it so that program is sent to obs

[@BEFONEPRODUCTIONS]

That's how I used mine.. it perfectly works like dat.. the signal to PC is tru USB while to ur Preview Tv is tru HDMI

Thank you for putting this together. I'm starting my search for game streaming. I'm going to start by checking out the details and reviews of this unit. I'd really like to know if the picture in picture has on-board borders. I'll research. Thanks again. This was very informative!

[@aleksandrgriadovoi9282]

I looked up their website and they have firmware 0.40 dated 30.10. which is supposed to fix the compressed aspect ratio in preview and enable selecting one fixed audio source. The things that bother me are: 1) Is it possible scale / zoom / crop a HDMI input that can be necessary in case the camera outputs 16:10 or other aspect ratio and there are black bars. 2) How does the PIP mode work? Is is possible to assign it to be activated automatically when switching to a certain camera or at least enabling a preset PIP easily using single button press?

[@VJFranzK]

Good discussion! (Perhaps the external audio imbedding process has more latency?) I guess if there's no Chromakey, there's also no Luma Key, which I would wish for.

[@woodruffmediamanagement9504]

Roland V-02HD is better. External audio syncs or you can offset it. It has chroma key. Downside you need a dongle. Thanks for the review. You saved me money! Yolobox looks like a better deal.

[@72911RS]

Thanks for all the great info. Any updates on some of the short comings, software, audio issues. Regarding audio, I might have missed something. If I have just one mic on my subject but a couple of cameras can I take the audio via HDMI from just the one camera regardless of which camera I am switched to for picture?

Hi. First of all: those are some great tutorials containing great enthusiam and professionalism. Secondly, I have one question which I can't look up online, without having the product in my hands - but maybe you could provide me with this answer. If I turn off the Livepro L1 and switch it back on, will it have the exact same video-output that I had before shutting it down? Does the screen settings stay the same? Specifically I need a mixed video (using your beloved T-bar) on startup. I'd love an answer, so I can click [buy] !

[@GeekyNerdyTechy]

Hi Sebastian, I am pretty certain it remembers the prior frame rate settings. I am not sure if it remembers every last setting I'll see if I can get you a proper answer once I test that out. The T-Bar settings do stick from my experience after plugging it back in.

Has the audio sync gotten fixed since you shot this?

[@RobertDorschel]

Your review has me sold on this unit. I am looking to use it to capture live performances with synths from multiple angles and switch on the fly. Only problem is I do not have cameras with clean hdmi output. I've spent hours looking trying to source 'action cameras' in the sub-$100 range (preferably closer to $50) and finding any with a spec sheet/list that expressly allows for "clean hdmi output without recording first" is proving to be near impossible. Do you happen to know of any action cameras that fit the bill here, at that price point? Quality of image really isn't that important; direct clean hdmi is required; distortion correction would be ideal. Best I could find is a ThiEYE T5e, but it seems those aren't made any more and are still a bit pricey for this application. Thanks in advance, if you have any answers!

[@Cesaregandini]

Hi, with the FeelWorld LivePro L1 is it possible to enter in key (KeyFrame ore DSk) ?

[@joshuanichols1062]

I have a handful of scenarios where this device would work great. I'm curious if the output is 1 camera only or can I see multiple cameras on screen without having to use Picture in picture. Would be nice in one or two of my scenarios to see a 4 square of all 4 inputs. Thanks for your time. great video

[@chmeephreekz]

[8:26] Cut is senseless with the t-bar, but makes the difference in autoswitch-mode. cut or fade :D

[@wivi-annenyberg]

Thanks a lot, makes clarity to this amazing tool (from a non tech pro :)) Two questions though, I use two iPhones as cameras. 1. Do I need to connect my Mac as well? 2. Is it my iPhone recording or the LivePro1? Respond from you is much appreciated :) Warm regards, Wivi-anne

Really like this video. Lot of good info. Only thing is your mic gain. Super peaks.😑

[@STEMChurchVideos]

Can you show all 4 cameras in the program screen?

[@BrandonColePhotography]

Just confirming, you need a program to record all 4 video inputs and audio? It needs to be hooked into like OBS or something to capture everything? This is my biggest problem. The Atem mini pro you can record your entire video right on the atem mini. No hooking it into OBS none of that. Just if you just wanna do something like a product review.

[@Salahudin-]

Great video and well explain but i have a question im using it just for recording with m50 with 3 camaras with volcaster one interface i use the 3.5 mm jack to the livepro but i dont se the audio how does it actually work im not using a loptop just to record video

[@dooshmasta]

You need a delay on the audio when you switch to the analogue input. Voice and mouth are moving WAY off sync. Only small format mixer with digital delay I can think of is a behringer Flow8 at about $300, everything else is like $500+.

[@dooshmasta]

Lol just watched you explain it. It’s not your hardware. It’s simply the fact that HDMI delivers video with a latency. This is why gaming on HDMI has to be adjusted and retro gaming purists will only play on CRTs.

[@Milan_Stojanovic]

Can you select this input individualy and make a 2x2 Videowall effect? Aspect ratio would be fine if you put all 4 videos at the same time and you use quarters of the screen Output - it is simple, if you put 16:9 video on a 8:9 surface it will strech the video

[@AlexPerez-kx6vs]

In mine it only give the option afv, line in and input 1 thru 4 for audio

[@BrandonColePhotography]

Why is it NOBODY talks about how to actually record the video your making. If i wanna do a product review how do you record. the V1 doesnt have a memory card slot to record internally like the ATEM Mini

[@GeekyNerdyTechy]

Record via USB into OBS or some other HDMI capture card on a computer works as well. Rock on.

The Atem Mini, is much better with sound, the built in Multi-view is too small to be of much value. For most productions the preview out of the Atem is fine if you are doing live sports then yes you need a multi view but 8 or more inputs too so not relevant. Note: the Software for the Atem is very good and lets you do so much more.

[@jamesdemaio5234]

This unit also outputs the multi-cam view to a separate monitor (HDMI Out) as well as the built-in screen. The built-in screen is helpful for a quick check of all your inputs, and is quite clear for a small screen.

Hi Shane. I really enjoyed watching this video. I notice you've used quite a few switchers including the Blackmail Mini Atem which I also tried but sent back as it didn't do what I wanted. If I tell you what I need it to do, I'm hoping that you can advice me what is best for me. I'm a video dj who hosts karaoke too. I use a program called PCDJ Dex3 which deals with the video Dj side of things. I occasionally use an ipad for a separate karaoke player, so I want a separate Video DJ screen showing music videos from my Macbook Air, a separate Karaoke program from my ipad and would like to transition between both using one output going to several TV screens around the venue. I would also like to put a camera on the person singing and crossfade a cobination of the karaoke lyrics from my ipad mixed with the video of the person singing onto the venues TV simultaneously. As the karaoke song is finishing, I would then like to seamlessly crossfade the main venue screen to my macbook and mix into my music videos from PCDjDex3. I would also like a camera on the crowd where I could pan around them whilst the music videos are playing and mix the crowd videos with the music, maybe using PIP or a crossfire effect. Would lagging occur on the karaoke lyrics which obviously would need to be 100% to keep the singer in sync with the music. Your advice on what to use would be most appreciated. Would the Liverpool L1 Mini do the job. Finally, can you reccomend a camera I could use on the crowd that I could zoom/pan in and out on the crowd? Thanks for any advice. Dave.
