We would like to buy the Edirol V8 video switcher for live internet broadcast. I need to know if this is the correct product for us. We have 3 cameras and a projector going into the switcher and then it needs to be set up for live broadcast via internet. How do I get the signal from the switcher to the computer?

Windows 7 64Bit requires signed drivers. Try looking on vendor's website otherwise I am afraid you need to either get a new controller or disable this requirement (not supported by MS)

Without knowing your complete setup it is hard to know the source of the problem... HOWEVER... One problem I see is that if you are using certain types of external effects, this device does NOT use balanced lines (TRS cables) and some of the effects units do use balanced. That, depending on your cables can cost 6DB of gain... and MAY be intermitent depending on whether your cables contact the ring of the TRS connector in the effects unit. This is not normally a problem if you are only using pedal type effects units. Most rack mounted effects are another story. If you need to go between balanaced and unbalanced you may need to use DI boxes. Since this device uses relays, if a relay isn't conducting fully it would distort the sound terribly passing mostly high frequencies.

See the manual!Zou have ground screw next to digital coaxial out!

The potentiometer has probably failed... You can TRY putting a bit of CRC226 which is available at HomeDepot in the electrical dept. into the slot and working it. Use only that product as there are other CRC products there. About $2.70 in a small blue aerosol can. Use the spout, spray into the center and move handle. repeat a few times. If that doesn't' work, replace the pot.

You will need to reinstall the drivers

If that doesn't work...you will need software that allows you to invert the sound.


Please rate if this helps!

Sounds like a power supply failure: This will be close to the service manual for your unit:

Check teh power supply output voltages. If no voltage the main switcher has failed. One needs to be adept at electronic repair to repair this and have proper tools and equipment. The switcher runs directely off the input power and work on that portion requires using an isolation transformer for personal safety.

Turn it off and leave it off till it is fixed.

There is a problem in the PMP5000 that is LIKELY in the PMP3000 as well.

The problem is arcing in the rear-most power amp near the heatsink.

When this gets bad, it will short out and fry the power supply and the amp if it persists. The arcing will trip the overcurrent sense and shut down the unit including the display until it finally goes completely.

I have repaired two of the 5000's now with identical problem. There is inadequate insulation in a multi-layer board in the rear-most power amp. The arcing occurs between the output lead of the switchers and the source lead circuit trace for the 9640 switcher transistors. The output switcher lead unfortunately is an internal circuit trace and hard to fix. Once burned, the board becomes carbonized and conductive.

NEVER run the unit without a speaker load on the unit.

Hi. I saw this looking for info on the C3500 of which I own one myself. I don't know the answer to your question but I found a site where you may buy a downloadable c350 service manual for $45. Go here, http://www.musicparts.com/products.asp?Company=Korg.

I can't tell from the add but hopefully it comes with adapters for both plugs that will work on your mixer. It does have the one for the headphones but the one for the mic is not clear, they are not interchangeable.

You would obviously plug the headphones into the headphone jack. The knob labeled "Phones/Control Room" will control the volume without changing what's being broadcast. What you hear in you phones is exactly what you are broadcasting.

The microphone needs to go into either mono channel 1 or 2. The adapter for it needs to be a mono Tip/Sleeve adapter as the more common stereo Tip/Ring/Sleeve adapter may cause some problems. You can tell the difference by looking at how many sections are on the plug divided by a little black line. Two sections is mono, three is stereo.

Adjust you microphone level by setting the volume knob, the one on the very bottom, to the 12 o'clock position. Then turn the gain knob, the smaller plastic one on the very top, until the desired volume is reached. If you experience any clipping or distortion turn the gain knob down until it goes away. These are general settings, you may want to experiment until you get the best level without noise.
