- Setup and review of the seamless HDMI switcher, Revesun HDMI 2x1 Multi-Viewer with PIP. Use this switcher to switch between 2 hdmi inputs and do multi camera live streaming.
*IMPORTANT NOTICE* Seems the folks at Amazon somehow mixed listings and the one for the Revesun HDMI 2x1 Multi-Viewer with PIP is actually showing (and shipping!) a simple two-port splitter. We cannot find the Revesun HDMI switcher on Amazon at this time (Feb 11/19) www.amazon.com...

Your video is much valuable
Fantastic. I've been wanting a simple & inexpensive HDMI switcher that would not tear when switching. WOO ... WOO!!! Thanks.
BTW--I found this (your} post via a video of a Webcaster X2 post.
Gotta find a way to silence the button when switching..
Yup!!
They should make a 4 camera version of this.
ATEM mini is what you need then
@@RolyRJ nice black magic just released it sweet!
Has anyone sourced another switcher like this that does not have the "clicky loud" buttons?
Good question Peter! You may also want to post this on our Webcaster X2 forum in the accessories thread www.epiphan.com/forum/t/webcaster-x2-accessories/367
I found one with a remote It can also control audio.I have not tested the audio as yet

@@cliffordbowe9879 Great! Let us know how it works if you get it. Not all switchers in that price range can switch nicely without tearing or blacking out between switches.
@@Epiphan I got the switcher
And it works really well.There may have been 1 or may 2 slight tears not sure if it was
Bandwith related as I am in the Bahamas.

strange because Amazon cannot ship this item to Canada, any idea how to find it ?
We're also sorry to find out that the Revesun switcher isn't available on Amazon now. No idea when (or if) it will become available.
Hey guys. I just discovered you a couple of days ago ... and you do great stuff.
Since I haven't had a chance to watch all of your posts, you may have talked about this already ... but if not ... have you tried Elgato Stream Deck?
And if so, what's your take on it? Thanks
I have a Roland hdmi switcher for 4 inputs.
Your’s is what we pro’s call a “glitter switcher”.
If it doesn’t glitch - wonderful!
Thanks for sharing that Michael.
Michael Bruchas hey have you used Roland v1- HD with web caster
Michael Bruchas also can you help me with the setup and limitations.
Do you know of a model with 4K support?
I have been looking for a affordable matrix switcher, 4x2, 6x2, with fast seamless switching... Any ideas?
Revesun is just a name slapped on. It's made by some other company.
Plug that thing into a computer and watch the magic of ghosting.
Also, it heats up so yeah.
By ghosting what do you mean? Will the recording show ghosting artifacts of some kind on the recording?
I followed the link to the Revesun unit, ordered, received it yesterday in the mail, and unfortunately it's a 1x2 HDMI splitter. I will be returning the unit.
There's nothing quite like a bait-and-switch scheme, and I understand it's likely not your business it's linked to, but you do link to it. You should know. and find a better link. Don't you think ?
Hey Glenn - thanks for letting us know. Really sorry. No idea what those guys at Amazon are up to. Will pull the link until further notice. Thanks again for tipping us off about that switcheroo!
Is there a HDMI switcher that is this fast that runs 4K?
thank you! I also have a collection of cheap, generic switches which I cant trust in a live production. having trouble finding this in Australian stores though.
What about something like the Roland V-1HD Compact Portable 4-Channel Video Switcher??
BBI Productions .....similar however not close to the same Price
Fantastic Video guys! thanks for sharing
Would be great for my Webcaster X2, but not available in Australia or Amazon shipping. There is also a 5x1 Switcher
I'm looking for here too. tried so many, ebay, jacar etc.
@@KimberleyBianca Any luck in tracking it down?
Would this product work to connect 2 DLSR through an Elgato Cam Link ? Great video thank you!
Hello Arthur - We cannot speak to the Cam Link, but the Revesun would switch 2 HDMI inputs to a single HDMI output.
@@Epiphan Thank you for you answer. Let me be more precise : is this switch operates as a capture card ? If no, what capture card capture would work with it ? Knowing that I'm quite low budget at the moment! Thank you very much!
Arthur Ehlinger no it does not operate as a capture card. What you can do though is run the (x) amount of cameras to the switcher then the switcher to a single capture card. This is what I do for 4 camera live-streaming church services using a el gato 4K capture card stick
Thank you
I found this: www.amazon.com/dp/B078NM7S7N , which appears to be a slightly different version, but with a DB9 serial port, from which it's supposed to be able to be controlled remotely. Probably intended for integration into an A/V system, but maybe it has software for control via computer. It also has an IR remote. There also seem to be a couple of models like this: www.amazon.com/dp/B0732XM1Q8 , with "seamless" in the description, and four inputs, which might be worth trying.
I'd think that with four inputs, you'd want to be able to go directly from one to another, rather than have to step through them sequentially, if you're planning to use them for production switching. It looks like the 4-input model allows direct switching using the remote. Interesting also that it appears you can switch the audio separately from the video, so having audio from the main camera persist when you switch to a different input. That seems like a useful feature if it actually works that way. I have not purchased this one to try - You game, Epiphan? It's only 100 USD.
THANK YOU!
In PIP mode can you move and size the box any way you want? Or does it have pre-set destinations?
hello I have a concern, when connecting the switch to power all the LEDs are flashing, when connecting all the hdmi the behavior is the same and does not give an image, any possible solution to my case? thanks
How do you get the sound to go to one source for both camera when switching......do you know of any with remote
i know this is an odd question, but when paired with a camlink 4k is the signal to the camlink continuous or is there a small break in signal on camera switch? reason i ask is my custom encoder on a cheaper switcher would fail on camera switch and not restart due to the signal break
Wow. That's super helpful. I have a couple of Blackmagic switches (ATEM Mini & HD Studio) but this would be handy for some additional inputs or split-screen stuff. Also, as a backup in an emergency. Thanks!
Wonder if this switcher will work as well with two C920 Web Cams
Geesh...I found this months after I bought a Roland V-02HD. While I like my V-02HD and found the chroma key helpful for graphics etc. It outpaces my 32 bit laptop...
btw how's the latency?
Yup! Very much interested in finding a good seamless switcher that's not as expensive as Roland's V1-HD :D
This revesun looks promising ^_^ i just wish they also have one with 3 or 4 inputs
hi guys, have you also tried the Revesun 3x1 HDMI Switcher? thanks
Could this work with Zoom?
Yep, could work for that. Have multiple HDMI sources you want to bring into Zoom?
Noticed they make 3x1 and 4x1 switcher do they work same?
Hi Ronald - We only tested the one model. You're best best is to direct your question to Revesun.
This product doesn't exist anymore. Would the nierbo one work the same way? Or is there a different one that's simmilar?
Hi catsdgs - it's hard to find a low priced switcher that doesn't tear or insert a black frame when switching. We're also sad to see this one from Revesun is getting hard to find. We have a forum discussion for Webcaster X2 accessories you can check out where switchers are a popular topic www.epiphan.com/forum/t/webcaster-x2-accessories/367
Are there any switches that hold the link when you commute between the outputs of different PC's? The ones I tried always disconnect the monitors when I commute the inputs.
Hi h2oaddict28 - Usually a switcher that is seamless will also be a scaler and will cost a little bit more. The very inexpensive ones will always be a physical switch that cuts the signal.
Hi, did you check with different resolutions from the 2 sources at the same time? If so, say 1x 720p and 1 x 1080p what does it output?
I've tried it with one 1080i and one 1080p, and you get tearing. It seems fine if both inputs are the same resolution, though. I have not tried it with both inputs progressive, but different resolution.
ok, it switch seamlessly between sources, but does it have any noticeable latency? I mean, if I connect 2 cameras in input and a projector in output to show those cameras in real time to an audience, will they notice the delay between the projection and what actually happen in front of them? Thank you very much
The latency is pretty low. I think you'l be fine to show it in real time.
Got mine today.Works just the way it should but how do we find the software mentioned in the instructions for plugging into a computer.
Hi dugsbugs1 - do you mean the AV.io capture card? It's plug and play so your computer should automatically detect it. Also your software (VLC, OBS, etc) should offer it as a video input option - just like your laptop's webcam. If you're having issues, please reach out to our support via chat from Epiphan.com any Monday through Friday from 9am to 5pm or email support@epiphan.com
@@Epiphan I may have been confused with what the usb function was for.
I thought it was offering a software based remote control as mentioned in the booklet. (Service plug on the back)
I have just purchased another 4x1 seamless unit that comes with a remote so that should deal with the issue.
The buttons on the Revesun are very noisy for the environment I am using it in.
Cheers.
Do you know about any other seamless hdmi switch options as good as this one?
Hi Venicio - in that price range - no. We tried others and they were not able to do clean transitions. Stepping up to a Roland VR-1HD is an option. or looking at an all-in-one switching/streaming/recording system like Pearl Mini www.epiphan.com/products/pearl-mini/
thaaaaaaankssssssssssssssss
Bought a 5x1 HDMI switcher hoping that it would be seamless, but it was not, takes 3 seconds between inputs. So before giving up on this I started reading product descriptions and comparing with my switcher collection (I have three so far) and came to the conclusion that if the switcher does not have a PIP-type feature it most likely is not seamless. Maybe I'm wrong about that, but that is what I am working with as a hypothesis. Anyway, ordered this item on Amazon (www.amzn.com/B07B8QN8FM) and really hoping it will be the good one. Will get back to you.
Messed up the link. Try www.amzn.com/B07B8QN8FM/
Ok, the results are mostly positive with the 4x1 switch I have in the link, as switching is fast, latency is very good almost none, and I can not see any tearing. There is one small problem that may or may not impact you. When in full screen mode (it has multi-view PIP), it is possible to mute or allow the HDMI audio from the input that is currently being displayed. Problem is if the audio is NOT muted, then every time you switch to a different input it shows a small musical note on the top left corner of the screen for 5 seconds, I guess to remind you that the audio is ON and is ON for that input. If you mute the audio, then when you switch to a different input you don't get any musical note overlayed on the output.
So if you don't need the audio from the HDMI output, then you are good just mute the audio. If you want the audio to follow the current input, then you need to live with the musical note in the corner for the first 5 seconds after switching to a new input.
what about audio? can it be from one source?
Hi Pascal Jean - the Revesun has only HDMI inputs, which means it takes the audio that's embedded in the HDMI signal. However, you could use an HDMI inserter and inject an external audio source into the HDMI signal before sending it to the switcher. Here's one from Monoprice www.monoprice.com/product?p_id=13347
Any idea where I can find this other than Amazon?
Hi David. Not sure, but you can always try eBay.
Can do 1080p input to 1080i output ?
Hi G R - the Webcaster X2 supports 1080p and doesn't convert to or support 1080i signals
Is it possible to connect two of these in a series to essentially turn 2 inputs into 3?
Sure wimpy617 why not! Although that could be complicated and messy - but it should work.
@@Epiphan Thanks for the reply. I know this would be more complicated to manage. I'm brainstorming ways of taking processing power away from the computer. Now that I've gotten to know OBS a bit better I don't think I'd need to run these in a series.
Can I connected it with OBS or VMIX so I will control the two or three cameras with the software ?
Sure Ahmad. Just feed the HDMI output from your computer in to Webcaster X2. Cheers
you can't control the switching from the software.
Does it work with Skype?
Hello Marijn - if you're asking if you can add Skype as an HDMI input source from a computer - then yes - that should work.
Hello from Spain, I would like to do some wedding stream, I have nikon d750 , is there any potable solution for doing streaming with a dslr? Also I wouldnt mind to use my samsung s10 for streaming. Do you have any video for this? Any recomendations? Also how can I add external audio to my streaming? If you do a tutorial for this I will be so thankful.
Hello Fran de Prado - we're not aware of any Nikon DSLR we would recommend for streaming, either due to no live HDMI output, no clean HDMI output, no audio on the HDMI output, or the mirror lift causing the camera to shut off after 20-30 minutes.
Unfortunately we do not really have anything to help with using a smartphone for streaming either.
@@Epiphan Hello, but Nikon d750 has an HDMI output.. and also clean output (Setup -> HDMI -> Advanced -> Live view on-screen display -> Off) also here a video explanation (th-cam.com/video/8gmwRBJSERM/w-d-xo.html)and also audio output (www.atomos.com/cameras/nikon-d750) you can also use liveview for no limit (Press menu, and navigate to the Custom setting menu (denoted by a pencil), go to Timers/AE lock, then to Monitor off delay and finally Live View. In this menu change the timer settings to No limit. Now you can record continuously without interruption.)
Your information is a little contradictory and not very clarifying. Affirming information with such forcefulness without being sure is not the most appropriate for when someone asks.
Fran de Prado Thanks for that info re display settings for LiveView 👍🏼👌🏼
@@billyperk you are welcome, hope it helps. ;) @frandeprado.fotografia
Is there a way to monitor the cameras with the revesun hdmi 2x1 multi-viewer in a multi camera setup?
Hi Daniel - Unfortunately no. Most simple/basic switchers do not have a Preview output separate from the main output. For that you would need a more broadcast-style mixer/switcher like the Roland V-1HD
Epiphan Video do you think I can put a hdmi split out of the camera and then one out put go to a small screen monitor and the other to revesun?
Sure - but more components mean more potential points of failure. Maybe split after the switcher?
Epiphan Video I believe a split after the switcher would be the only one video source at time with no preview video.
ive been looking for a seemless switcher. thanks for the video! do they only make them for 2 cameras? I use 3 for my live streams ideally, do you know a solution for a 3 camera setup?
Hi Austin - this is one we often recommend (though it seems to be popular and was on back order the last time I looked) www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1162535-REG/shinybow_sb_3691_2x1_hdmi_pip.html
@@Epiphan thanks!
@@Epiphan Not sure if the link expired but this one is still only 2 to 1 and i had essentially the same question was curious how this works for a 3 cam setup
I recently bought it on Amazon.ca and just used it with great success. Thanks for the recommendation. What about the revesun 3x1, is that one just as good? Thanks.
I combined it with audio injector to avoid the sound switching.
Hi Rocco - Sorry we only tested the one unit. But just make sure you're looking at a Revesun HDMI switcher and not one of their HDMI splitters. Good luck!
@@Epiphan Thank you anyway. I am still using your recommended 2x1 switch and am happy with it. I daisy chained another 2x1 (not very good one) to get three devices going. Getting away with it at this time. Hoping to get Atem Mini soon!!
We do have a audio mixer. But how do we hook it up?
Hi D & K Grace - if you're mixer is UAC compliant, then you could connect it to the USB port once the Beta USB feature is enabled on Webcaster X2.
@@Epiphan Funny guy. DO you know English, too? :) You need an audio mixer with a USB? Thank you for responding.
Hi does this work with obs for streaming?
Hi Ramir - the Revesun HDMI switcher outputs HDMI - so if whatever you're using supports HDMI input, then presumably it would work.
Is there a way to preview the output of other camera before i switch to it?
Ramir Montalbo I have this same question.
But you still gett the black background betwin switchings?
Do you have any other seamless hdmi switch options?
Hi Venicio - I'll post here what I responded in the other video... in that price range - no. We tried others and they were not able to do clean transitions. Stepping up to a Roland VR-1HD is an option. or looking at an all-in-one switching/streaming/recording system like Pearl Mini www.epiphan.com/products/pearl-mini/
