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.

@@GeekyNerdyTechy does the ethernet cable need to be connected in order to use this unit? I want to plug this into my USB c hub>galaxy note 9 and use my mobile data +twitch screen capture. Like this doesn't need internet to function just power 🔋?

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.

[@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 😁👍

[@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.

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.

[@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.

[@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.

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 ?

[@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!

[@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? I really need to pull the trigger on something. I've looked at your other videos about the 2 ATEM options. I may be overloading on info already. Thanks.

[@stackzguzman3105]

Hi Shane. What laptop do you use? My video is freezing & jittery. Thanks for a great video.

It was recorded using QuickTime on my old MacBook Air. If your computer can support webcam recording, it can work with this. Just make sure the frame rate settings are set correctly.

[@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.

Really well made review.

[@sebastianmcaleerelkjr6927]

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.

[@ScottFichter]

Yo GNT, does the L1 allow for automatic switching based on a time interval? Great video dude!

[@MarquettDavon]

[@GeekyNerdyTechy]

No I don’t think it does. At least not at the time of this video.

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.

[@marcoadamo6322]

Great Video Thanks. My question is if this unit will replace the need for an Elgato Cam Link for example?

[@GeekyNerdyTechy]

If you stream using OBS or if you use the switcher as a "webcam" in most web software then yes. You will need a laptop or computer though.

[@CaptainEllisK]

As a VJ (video DJ) I purchased this to be able to come out of my computer and dj controller into a projector plus able to connect a camera or two. How do I do this?

[@Reyfox1]

I'd wait and see "if" they update it. Updates are important, and Blackmagic Design does update their hardware. The sync issue is huge. The computer sees the Atem Mini as a webcam, does this unit do the same thing?

[@jamesdemaio5234]

Yes. Connecting the USB 3.0 to the computer and it is seen as a webcam.

[@MrDaveD123456789]

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.

[@jamesdemaio5234]

The company sent me a software download link for the Windows version of the control software, and it works OK. A little delay at times with the command to the L1. I asked about the non-working FX selection, and they said that is for the L2 model which can control the movement of the camera (Pan/Tilt). The L2 model is not available as of yet. I was hoping for some additional special effects like green screen or recording directly to an external hard drive.

[@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?

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.

I had the same question. I watched the video twice. At 4:46 you talk about using an Elgato capture to stream from HDMI. But it is not clear whether the USB 3.0 is sufficient or high enough quality to stream so we do not need to buy the Elgato video capture to run off the hdmi. Otherwise the explanations were very helpful, especially the out of sync audio. I am thinking that I will continue to use my Scarlett 2i2 for the audio portion of the stream.

[@BEFONEPRODUCTIONS]

No need of a capture card.. it is a just like a capture card built for 4 inputs at a time.. the machine itself is a capture card ... It is only HDMI input port's (4) 1 HDMI output n 1 USB 3.0 output
