Do you know a Switch for USB Webcams. I have the problem. I use 3 monitors. 1x27 inch left middle 32 inch right 27 in monitor. When I look to the left or the right monitor my eyes are not looking into the camera. I would lile to place 3 USB Webcams and then switch the cameras when I look in the repective monitor so that the person on the videocall always thinks that I am looking into his eyes. Do you have any recommandation what to use?

[@drboyce]

Great video brother

[@MonteWeaverofficial]

Much appreciated! I appreciate everything you do for our community. Reach out to me for your next event to live-stream!

[@legion_of_mars9733]

Could this be used to switch amongst a few go pros wirelessly? or does it just work wired in the hdmi ports?

[@MonteWeaverofficial]

Wired. I’d you want to do wireless, you would need to connect a wireless receiver to the HDMI ports

[@Calvarydima]

You are top of my favorite experts

[@MonteWeaverofficial]

wow. thanks. I'm glad the videos are helpful

[@MrCuzzinsmooth]

Monte, great video and demonstration...what I could not tell from your video is whether or not the program out has any latency from the live feed. I have a need for the switching device to provide the video signal for the live sanctuary as well as the streaming platform. It looks as if it can do that but I wanted to ask to make sure.

[@MonteWeaverofficial]

I've only used this in short distance setups in real life event scenerios. Under 50ft from my furthest cameras. In these cases, I'm live-streaming to an audience watching online and not in the house so latency isn't a factor of consideration. I wanted to add the context, because I don't know the latency of the feed in-house for further distances. I would say reach out to BZB Gear and tell them you watched my video, they have great customer service and could give you the exact answer for your setup.

[@thebrooklyngardenclub225]

great video , thanks. Is there any way to control switcher via foot pedal clicking? as opposed to using hand / button clicking. Asking as a performing solo musician whose hands are tied up but wants to control multi cam biews whilst performing from my studio

[@MonteWeaverofficial]

I’m not sure. If I owned the Elgato petal I would definitely test it out. The guys over at BZB GEAR are awesome support, definitely send them an email 📧

[@keithh.9702]

Thanks Monte! I think this may be a nice alternative for us to use instead of the popular-$$ brand!

[@MonteWeaverofficial]

Absolutely

[@davidbullecer]

Hi sir. Whre do you connect the multi view and the program feed? Thanks

[@MonteWeaverofficial]

Connect them to a monitor. Use the HDMI ports on the back of the switcher and connect to the HDMI ports on a monitor

[@davidbullecer]

I see. So i will be needing two monitor? One for the multi view and 1 for the program feed? Or there is a monitor that has 2 hdmi ports? I really liked tour videos becaiae our church uses obs studio

[@MonteWeaverofficial]

@davidbullecer you would need 2 monitors

[@davidbullecer]

Can the other monitor be a laptop?

[@davidbullecer]

I have a few more questions if you dont mind. We are a smaller church trying to improve our streaming. The lan connection it is necessary? Last question for now. What if i am using a mixer like an x32 and obs. Do I still meed to put a mic on the video switcher? Sorry I am asking a lot of questions.

[@davidbullecer]

Do you have any other recommended video switcher that is less expensive. I liked your video. Thanks

[@MonteWeaverofficial]

This is one of the least expensive video switchers on the market.

[@richardjankiewicz6253]

Was wondering, to my understanding the device you are using BZB Gear Video Switcher is like 1080 only, but your video shows 4K, I am missing something, can you explain how is it done?

[@MonteWeaverofficial]

I record internally 4k to the SD cards on my cameras.

[@TheMixologistDjSe7en]

Thank You for This Vid!! 🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@MonteWeaverofficial]

Glad it was valuable.

[@willardesmith]

will I be able to livestreave from this gear also without the use of a computer?

[@MonteWeaverofficial]

You will need a computer to live-stream.

[@alldayrays7110]

Hey Monte, Have you tried Detail app for multi camera instead of the switcher? Looking for more information about the use of Detail app from producers not affiliated with the app developer. Thanks

[@MonteWeaverofficial]

I haven’t tried it.

[@MonteWeaverofficial]

There are Usb adapters to convert to HDMI, but usb switchers I'm not aware of.

[@larzvideo]

do i need a video card?

[@MonteWeaverofficial]

Video Card For? ... This switcher has a built in encoder that allows for 4 HDMI inputs. The switcher can be directly connected to a computer with a USB cable.

[@TheStonersCommittee]

Dope video bro

[@MonteWeaverofficial]

Thanks 💯

[@benjaminbkyereboah12]

Please is it possible to zoom in and out the cameras after switching???

[@MonteWeaverofficial]

Camera zoom is controlled with your cameras remote controller or a PTZ controller. A video switcher’s function is video switching

[@princewillcletus1261]

You said everything but please I would love to know how you connected the multi view to the monitor

[@MonteWeaverofficial]

The switcher has a multivew output on it. Just a cable from the switcher to the monitor

[@princewillcletus1261]

@@MonteWeaverofficial I did that still not working not sure why

[@MonteWeaverofficial]

Have you contacted their support team. That’s always the 1st place to ask technical questions as they the most familiar with their product t

[@markakin426]

Can you bring in video clips and audio clips on that switcher

[@mfrfilm4760]

Hi how about the delay?

[@MonteWeaverofficial]

Can you be more specific?

[@robertlagennusa5521]

Hey, I belong to a church where I am volunteering with the music and streaming. I didn't understand what they were teaching me. I came to youtube to help myself. Could someone tell me if I landed on a good channel. I think I volunteered for switcher. There are 4 cameras above us and a computer screen that has little boxes. One says preview. I hope I can learn camera switching at my Church.

[@MonteWeaverofficial]

Sounds like you are indeed using a switcher. You’ll definitely want to join the “Modern Media Ministry” Facebook group and also follow @AjayTheCEO here on YT as well.

[@mzpimp10]

Am I able to use a MacBook to see multiple camera angles at once

[@MonteWeaverofficial]

It doesn't matter the computer you're using. The connection from the switcher to the computer is what is important. The computer will recognize the device as a webcam. in order to view to preview of all your camera angles you will need to use the switcher connected to an external monitor.

[@jethrooliverbitang6862]

this one is working on zoom?

[@MonteWeaverofficial]

Any video switcher will work with zoom including this one. Zoom just looks for a video source. Video switchers act as a video source.

[@fanboyc5]

hey how are you doing , we need some help with something we have 5 PTZ IP Cameras in our church we need a good solution for streaming and controlling them any suggestions ,budget 900$

[@MonteWeaverofficial]

I’m unable to provide a full answer because I don’t know everything you already have. If you have 5 IP cameras, I would assume that you have an IP controller and cables and network equipment needed. I’d offer a consultation but that’s half of your budget.

[@fanboyc5]

@@MonteWeaverofficial they are already installed and working with a ptz controller , we need a solution for streaming

[@fanboyc5]

@@MonteWeaverofficial we are from Egypt so 900$ is way to much for us already

[@MonteWeaverofficial]

Wirecast, vMix, OBS, Restream, MELON, eCAMM, cSplit … There are plenty of software platforms if that’s your question.

[@fanboyc5]

@@MonteWeaverofficial how can i control the feed ? With more than 5 inputs and 1 output? Somthing like the atem blackmajic but within our budget

[@LuvIsLuvRadio]

I’m curious of your opinion on the ATEM Mini Pro VS This

[@MonteWeaverofficial]

I could use either or in my workflow. The Atem Mini Pro only has the one HDMI output which is a drawback for my workflow which forced me to get the ATEM Mini Extreme. Blackmagic has other devices that natively work well with ATEM and a host of 3rd party accessories for the ATEM Mini is bonus. I could make a case for both. At the price point for me I would go with the BZB Gear because it has the 2 HDMI outputs which is major in my personal workflow.
