Q: 1. I want to use this with a projector, will a glitch be seen on the screen as I switch between PowerPoint and a video on separate laptops?

A: Hi William. There will be a slight glitch when switching sources using this switcher, as it is not a seamless switcher. It does switch quickly, but it is not seamless. Thank you! - Ocean Matrix

Q: 2. If the audio out is used does the HDMI out retain its audio or is audio completely stripped from the signal? Also does the audio in jack replace the HDMI audio, mix it in, or add extra channels?

A: The HDMI will still have the audio on the output. However if you use the audio jack in it will replace the HDMI audio, it will not mix the two.

Q: 8. Is there a visual indication of which input is selected, like an illuminated number?

A: I'm afraid not. There is not an illuminated indication that shows the input. However Marshall Electronics also offers VSW-2200, which does have illuminated buttons and is a seamless switcher as well. There is no delay when going from input to input on this 4x1 SDI Switcher. The VSW-2200 also has a Quad View HDMI output, so you can see all 4 inputs at the same time on one screen.https://bhpho.to/2tEZfC6

Q: 9. Will the switcher let a power supply back to the Camera?

A: Sorry no, this switcher is not designed to handle the power requirements of another device.

Q: 10. If I have a pair of RCA inputs (coming from right and left outputs from a turntable), can this unit send both inputs (right and left) to the optical output (to get stereo sound)?

A: The Inday DA4X-R SPDIF 4x1 Digital Audio Switcher does not feature the ability to combine or mix inputs to be sent out of the device together. Because they would be summed coming out of the single optical or coax output anyhow, perhaps summing the stereo signal before it feeds the DA4X-R would allow you to achieve your desired outcome. Also note that this unit is expecting a digital signal not often found directly on turntable output connections themselves.
