Cerevo LiveWedge HDMI Switcher

Description

Combining a switcher, mixer, and streaming encoder, the Cerevo CDP-LW01A LiveWedge HDMI Switcher features 4 HDMI inputs, a programme and preview output, and is compatible with HD/NTSC/PAL/computer signals. The unit features an integrated jog wheel and control buttons that provide on-unit control and a built-in LCD menu interface screen. However, the unit is most flexibly controlled by using the free downloadable app for your iPad that provides a visual interface.

Incorporating 9 effects channels, the switcher supports cut, mix, wipe transitions, fade to black, DIP, PNP, and chroma keying. The switcher features separate preview and programme HDMI outputs supporting NTSC, PAL, and HD video. You can input jpegs with resolution up to 1280 x 720 from an SD card; larger resolutions will be automatically resized to 1280 x 720. The switcher can simultaneously output video over HDMI and stream to a variety of streaming services via its Ethernet connector.
