Add professional video switching and audio mixing flexibility to your concert productions, house of worship, educational forum, or live sports programming with this HVS0403U Micro 4-Channel SDI & HDMI Video Switcher from AVMATRIX. Boasting two HDMI and two SDI autodetected inputs, the HVS0403U is a compact and user-friendly video switcher loaded with powerful features, including luma and chroma keying, mix/fade/wipe effects, audio mixing, and a picture-in-picture (PiP) or picture-on-picture (PoP) layout, using tactile functions such as auto and cut transitions or with the T-bar.
Bring in four separate sources for switching up to 1080p60 video with embedded audio, or mix in additional audio originating from two analog stereo 3.5mm mic/line inputs. An HDMI output with multiview support provides ideal previewing functions, and two HDMI program outputs with scaling features give you flexibility for sending simultaneous signals to a display for live events and a recording terminal for editorial consideration. There is also a USB Type-C video output to connect to a computer for video capture and livestreaming, while a LAN port enables you to control the switcher using software via IP.
Logo overlays are supported from a variety of different image file formats, including PNG, JPG, and BMP, and you have the option of capturing up to 16 screenshots and storing up to 16 images using the USB Type-A input with 39 default patterns and two color generators. A tally interface supports GPIO, still frame, mute, and fade-to-black (FTB) functionality.

AVMATRIX HVS04 Reviews
Perfect Mini Switcher
Given the $600 price tag, this switcher is as good as it gets. All normal functions like cut, dissolve, wipe, USK, DSK and PIP are easily performed right on the panel. Scaling on each input allows you to use almost any resolution as a source, and the menu is so good that it eliminates the need for a laptop. It's ability to store stills right in the unit, either from a flash drive or frame grab, makes this switcher totally independent. Audio controls are also quickly accessed at the upper left section of the panel. Best of all, the menu is clean and always available, even while all of the functions are being used. It is very flexible and logically laid out. The only negative is that the picture-in-picture sizes are preset to only 4 choices and you can't crop the sides. If incremental sizing and cropping were added with a future software update, this mini switcher would be unbeatable. That said, this is the best I've seen and used in this price range. Great unit!
