Good product for HD resolution not for live scenes

As other reviews state all screens flash when switching any inputs or outputs probably because all inputs and outputs need to re-sync which is why it is lose a star. Therefore, this switch is not useful for live performances. However, for my purposes it is acceptable and, most importantly, reliable so far. It is optimal when a pure HD resolution (1920 x 1080) is used or when all inputs and outputs work at the same resolution. It does not perform scan conversion. So if you have monitors with different resolution limits, the incompatible output will not work. I didn't want to buy this product, but after encountering excellent customer service from J-Tech for an HDMI audio extractor, which caused me a lot of hassle (which I ended up returning for a refund), I was confident I could get one of which she would try her others. Products. And I'm glad I did. The device has a few flaws. The device can get slightly warm when all 4 inputs and outputs are working. When the device is not powered (carrying disconnected), the indicators sometimes flash briefly. It is strange. When recording video over this, artifacts sometimes appear in the video when trying to track the recording on a different monitor. If you turn off the monitor feed and your capture card only has one output, the artifacts will go away. In any case, I would recommend going straight from the source to the capture card for a more stable signal.

Pros
  • Delivery was very quick
Cons
  • Replacement availability
