Review Summary

Rated 5 out of 5

Great quality, great features

The fact it has up/down converters built into each input was a game changer. Makes everything so much easier when it is all one format. Easy to set up and operate.

Nearly Perfect

This is a great switcher. It's very powerful for the price with the amount of USKs and DSKs available, super source options, 2 mix effects, and for our production the biggest plus is the number of inputs and outputs as well as USB out. My only complaint is that I wish it handled audio in a better manner than a 1/4" TRS stereo jack. However, it still functions perfectly. Other than that, this is the perfect switcher for us, a high school sports broadcast team.
