Switcher scaler recommendation

[Eric Lenasbunt]

Looking for recommendations for a switcher/scaler that can handle about 4 various inputs and output 2 different sources at once.

Looking to be $1500 ish...

Used to use a Kramer VP729, but don't recall being able to use multiple outputs at once...

Are you looking for a 4x2 matrix switcher, or a 4x1 switcher with a built in 1x2 DA?

4x2. Basically wanting to do one bigger screen in the center and 2 screens on the side. I have a 1x2 DA to make the 2 sides the same

Looks like the OP wants a matrix switcher.

I recommend Analog Way, Spyder, and Black Magic...

Yes, that is what I am looking for. Any recommendations in the sub $2k range?

Any reasonable switcher with 2 output channels and 3-4 scalers is going to cost much more than 2k....

2 Barco ScreenPRO II = $20,000
1 MatrixPRO SDI = $3,500
1 Barco SP Controller = $7,000

There some analog way Eikos models that have 2 main output busses, but are well over 10k.

If you don't need the scaler functions, Kramer's got some pure matrix switchers in your price range.

You could easily get a used Extron RGBHV matrix for cheap too.
