G+_Fr. Robert Ballecer, SJ Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 I've been using Kinivo for a few months. Works just fine for a low-cost, no latency HDMI switch. http://www.amazon.com/Kinivo-501BN-Premium-wireless-adapter/dp/B0049SCB2Y/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1383095672&sr=8-2&keywords=hdmi+switch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Bob Samuelson Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 Fr. ... suitable for input to a single encoder used for video streaming? TKS for the link. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Fr. Robert Ballecer, SJ Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 Bob Samuelson hmmmm.... are you planning on trying to use it like a tricaster? Real-time video switching? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Bob Samuelson Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 Yes, exactly. Poor mans solution. Limited computer power. Asus laptop i5 w7 with 2usb2 + 1usb3 for inputs. Can do it with composite video currently with cheap similar switch for G+ hangouts on air. Would use my dslrs for the HDTV input with great glass instead of 10 year old Sony camcorders.

G+_Fr. Robert Ballecer, SJ Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 Bob Samuelson Try it. It's not that expensive and if you buy if from Amazon you can always return it. I'm worried about artifacting and possible sync problems as you switch between HDMI devices of different resolutions and framerates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
