The FeelWorld L4 lets you live-switch, control, and stream video using one SDI input and up to four HDMI sources. It combines program and preview outputs with a built-in touchscreen for direct monitoring and control. In addition, you can stream up to 1080p60 over USB 3.0 to a computer using third-party streaming software.
This compact production switcher handles five video inputs and provides multiple output paths. You can switch sources using the touchscreen, the T-bar, the illuminated LED buttons, or remotely via a computer or smartphone app. Moreover, the unit outputs program and preview signals via HDMI and SDI, and it streams via USB 3.0.
You can switch inputs directly on the L4 using the responsive touchscreen, use the T-bar for manual transitions, or press the large LED buttons that indicate tally status with green or red lights. Alternatively, control the switcher via a computer or a smartphone app for remote operation. For monitoring, view the inputs on the built-in color TFT display or send program and preview feeds out via HDMI and SDI outputs.
The L4 includes configurable picture-in-picture modes and 13 transition effects so you can create varied program transitions. Additionally, the unit supports chroma keying for green screen-style compositing and allows logo overlays to brand your output. Use these options to add professional visual elements to your live production.
The switcher supports video output up to 1080p60 via USB 3.0. Connect the USB output to a computer and use third-party streaming software or an NLE to stream live. The L4 is compatible with popular streaming platforms such as YouTube, Facebook Live, Twitch, and TikTok when used with host software.
The L4 accepts embedded HDMI or SDI audio, and it also accepts an external microphone or line source via the 3.5 mm stereo input. You can de-embed audio through the 3.5 mm output for external speakers or an audio mixer. The switcher supports 2-channel audio mixing so you can balance embedded and external audio sources in your program feed.
The unit features a slim, durable aluminum housing. For thermal management, a built-in fan engages automatically to help keep the unit cool during extended operation.

question: Can I stream directly from the L4 without extra software?
Answer: The L4 outputs via USB 3.0 to a computer, so you need third-party streaming software or an NLE on that computer to stream to platforms like YouTube or Twitch. The device does not stream directly to platforms by itself.
question: Which inputs and outputs should I use for multi-camera setups?
Answer: Use the four HDMI inputs and the single SDI input to connect multiple cameras or sources. Then route program or preview via the HDMI and SDI outputs. You can also send a USB 3.0 feed to a computer for streaming or recording.
question: How can I control the switcher remotely during an event?
Answer: You can control the L4 using the built-in touchscreen, the physical T-bar and LED buttons, or remotely via a computer or the mobile app (Android & iOS). This offers flexible remote operation depending on your workflow.
question: What audio routing options exist for presenters and livestreams?
Answer: The unit accepts embedded HDMI/SDI audio and a 3.5 mm stereo input for an external microphone or line source. It also provides a 3.5 mm output to de-embed audio for speakers or an audio mixer, and it supports 2-channel audio mixing to balance sources in your program feed.
