Perfect Mini Switcher
By Thomas
Rated 5 out of 5
Date: 2022-10-20
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!
