Q: 3. does the signal hold on an inactive port? meaning if I have a computer connected to input 1, and I switch to input 2, does the computer on input 1 think that it has lost the connection?

A: We are not sure of the process but we know that you do not lose the signal and that you can switch back and forth at any time.

Q: 4. Can you set this to fade between video inputs?

A: That is not possible. This is a basic AV switcher. You would need a production switcher to be able to fade between inputs. The Blackmagic Design ATEM Mini HDMI Live Stream Switcher is a great starting option for that, BH #BLSWATEMMIN. https://bhpho.to/2VuTdCS

Q: 5. Is there any latency in the video signal when used in a live production?

A: The latency on this camera should be extremely low, possibly unnoticeable. It would integrate very well with other cameras for live production.

Q: 6. Is there any quality loss or video latency with the switcher? Thanks.

Q: 7. is theer any sample of video of the picture it produces?

A: At this time we do not have any sample videos available for this camera. However you may be able to find clips if you did a search on websites like Youtube and Vimeo.

Q: 8. Does this switcher work with apple TV units? The switcher I currently have does not and I have to plug the apple TV directly into my TV's HDMI port.

A: This switcher is HDCP Compliant, it should work with an Apple TV.

Q: 9. Does it work bi-directionally? That is, will it switch one source to 3 different displays?

A: We're afraid not. This will allow you to switch between 3 different sources on 1 display. To send one source to multiple displays you need a Splitter, not a switcher. Kanexpro offers B&H # KASPHD201X44, which is a 1x4 HDMI Splitter that is 4K. https://bhpho.to/2JeEMdW

Q: 10. is this can directly push the HDBaseT Interface video directly into a server?

A: Not that we are aware of. HDBaseT is a system that allows for sending an HDMI signal over Cat6 cables for the purpose of allowing longer distances than typically available though a standard HDMI cable. It is not an IP format which you'd connect to a network directly. For that you may want to look at the PTZOptics PVTL-ZCAM 2.07MP 3G-SDI Box Camera with 4x Zoom Lens, B&H # PTVLZCAM instead. https://bhpho.to/2GIZNhP
