Q: 1. How do you mix the audio? If I have 3 HDSDI signals coming in and RCA L/R from an external mixer How do I control the levels?

A: You will be able to mix the audio from the video inputs and the RCA audio inputs using the V-1SDI RCS dedicated computer software that comes with this product. The software allows you to connect the V-1SDI to either a Mac or PC through a USB cable. From there you will be able to control the switcher and you'll be given a digital mixing board for the audio.

Q: 2. What is the maximum length of the HDMI cable if you the Live Feed?

A: You will be able to adjust the position of the smaller image on the screen when using Picture-In-Picture Mode. You will also be able to change the color and the width of the border around the smaller image, however you will not be able to change the size of the smaller image itself.

Q: 9. Does this unit output 23.97fps or 29.97 fps at 1080p ?

A: Sorry this unit only supports 50/59.94. You would have to do a signal conversion from those frame rates.

Q: 10. Can the switcher scale inputs at different resolutions? For instance, can it accept a 1080p camera, a 720p computer signal, and output a 1080i signal?

A: I have not actually tested it but it may work. The mixer has a switch that you select the output (1080i, 1080p or 720p).Setting your output at 1080i m will still allow you to input even 1080p through channels 1 to 3 then you can use channel 4 which has a built in scaler to input a 720p HDMI from your computer
