@@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 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.
Feelworld makes great monitors too - the F6 plus with LUT support is killer. Hopefully they’ll address the issues - seems like a promising product, nice review !
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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? My unit unfortunately did not come with a manual. Not interested in the sound. Only video input and output to a projector. Thanks in advance
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.
I think those split screen effects are supposed to be for video at different aspect ratios. Like if you had slides you wanted to put in as a lower third. Is there a way to use the slider to move the seam around?
Is this a perfect switcher for a Church Live Streaming looking at the issues of audio that you talk about? Please help me. Witch one should i buy for our church and why????
I have no idea what your requirements are, nor do I do that sort of work. You need to find out what it is you want it for and then determine if it's right for you. I posted an updated video regarding the new firmware so see if that helps.
Wow wat a nice review, but i dont see the preview on my Macbook pro thru USB, pls i need more explanation on this urgent it only showed me the app but i really want to use my mac laptop as my preview. Thanks
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.
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.
Thanks for the review. What is the ethernet inout for? Is it also a streaming encoder like the Atem Mini Pro? All the features you reviewed make it only sound like a video mixer.
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] !
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.
I must’ve missed it how do you have it hooked to your computer or regular desktop do you still use the cam 4K and where do you hook it up at because it has the USB 3. To HDMI where is that HDMI go to and doesn’t show up on the OBS software your screen which input do you use thanks

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 ?
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
Sorry I have a D 7000 Nikon with the mini HDMI going to my HDMI splitter splitter going to the computer it does show up there but when and how do I put this in to make this work sorry I’m new at this
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
I have a USB 3.0 to HDMI cords that allow me to output my cell phone to my TV. Do you happen to know if the Livepro would accept the video signal from a cell phone camera using this cord. If it matters the phones I’ve done this with are the Samsung Galaxy S10 and S21or higher)? Basically I really wanna buy the Livepro, but I’m hoping to not need to by 2 Video cameras. Basically hoping to use one video camera and 2 cell phone cameras if possible. This would be for a podcast. Any feedback would be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks!
Great review, like to ask if this switcher will help me to less overload my encoder on Mac. I have a new Mac 2020 and obs install for church live streaming. Every time I switch my camera obs say the encoder is overloaded.
Hi Shane, Do you know if FEELWORLD LIVEPRO L1 Video Switcher Firmware Update V0.40 has actually fixed any of the audio problems ? Has it addressed the ability to keep one audio channel while switching cameras ?
@@GeekyNerdyTechy the same questions as Danny Ruben :) if software solutions is not already revealed, i'm wondering if one audio mixer could help. Imagine you have microport on each camera - but ofcourse you dont want to change mic while changing camera. So, instead pluging in cameras through minijack 4 separately audio signal from each 4 mics, maybe just plug all 4 audio sources to another, one audio mixer? Then take these 4 audio sources into one signal and take IT out from mixer by 4 minijack wires to each cameras (same input in camera by same 3.5mm wire as audio signal instead separate mic)? Thank in advance for rrsponse:)
Thanks for the video. Question: at 2:16, you mentioned your hdmi output is going to your pc. What do you have hooked up to the ethernet and usb? If I run the hdmi output to my encoder, which goes directly to boxcast, what's the best way to send the signal to my laptop to OBS? Thanks.
Hi. Can you do d switching of cameras during post-editing? Not sure if i’ll make sense but what im trying to say is, say i have 4 cameras, they all record, then after i do d take, i play’em all back, then do my switching, then that feeds to say finalcut pro and record the way i had made the “live” switching between cameras. Does it work that way too? Basically i play guitar live in front of the cameras, then i do my post editing with final cut pro and gArage band, sync them together in final cut pro then mute all my camera audio, living the post edit with the garage band audio.
It works like a webcam so you can just plug it into the computer without the need for drivers. OBS (Open Broadcaster Software) is a great program to use for streaming.
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+.
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.
never received the package due to a courier's negligence, I've been writing for weeks to get my money back but still nothing. company not serious at the moment.
@@GeekyNerdyTechy I'm getting lag by going through OBS so I was hoping this device could give me less lag, if any lag, back to the monitor if I sent a clean signal out (when swapping between the OBS signal). The lag is slight through OBS, but if you're watching them side by side you can just notice it. I don't mind the video lag as much, it's the audio lag that's the major problem at the moment. My use case is eSports where there's a large stream monitor serving stats and in-game live video w/ audio to the room. Then there are gaming monitors receiving the fastest signal which will be out of sync in video and audio. I don't know that anything can solve the sync issue (at least not completely) except for maybe a wireless transmitter & receiver from Hollyland Mars. Because my priority is the audio at the moment, I may need an audio extractor and use that sound independent of the video before it hits OBS or some other lag inducing device.
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.
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.
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.
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
