Quick take
If you are building a multi-camera live streaming rig and want everything to be new, the 4K Video Switcher with four HDMI inputs is the option to look at first at USD 160.99. If you need broadcast-level IP/SDI production and can accept used gear, the EVS DYVI is the high-capability option at USD 1,459.00. The Slingstudio Hub is the lowest-priced switcher at USD 45.00, but it is for parts or not working. The Ikegami HL-45W camera bundle at USD 69.95 is a different role: a professional camera rather than a switcher.

Product notes
4K Video Switcher 4 HDMI Camera Streaming Live Production Broadcasting Station
The 4K HDMI switcher is the only new unit in this set, and it is aimed squarely at live streaming and broadcast-style production. It supports HDMI input up to 4K@30Hz and delivers an output of 1080P@60Hz, which covers many streaming workflows. The spec includes two HDMI outputs, a Type-C capture interface, and audio mixing for MIC and LINE IN, so it behaves like a small production hub. With four input interfaces and a listed price of USD 160.99, it is a straightforward way to bring multiple cameras into one program feed. The main limitation is the step down from 4K input to 1080P output, which matters if you want a full 4K program output.
EVS DYVI Live Production Video Switcher
The EVS DYVI is the most ambitious switcher in this comparison. It is built for IP and SDI hybrid workflows, with 12G-SDI for 4K UHD, SMPTE 2110 IP video, and a software-defined architecture. The feature set includes live, real-time multi-camera switching, integration with replay and graphics systems, and multi-operator control, which gives it a clear professional-production focus. The listed price is USD 1,459.00, the highest of the four. The used unit has minor scuffs and a small chip, and no further testing has been performed. If your production room is built around SDI or IP infrastructure and you can work with used professional gear, this is the high-capability option.
Slingstudio Hub HD Video Switcher for Multi-camera Production and Live Streaming
The Slingstudio Hub is the lowest-priced entry at USD 45.00, but the condition tells the story: it is for parts or not working. The unit gives a red flash when plugged in, and it comes with a Canon adapter, which makes it more of a repair project or a source of replacement parts than a ready-to-use switcher. The listed features include live streaming and livestream-sharing capability, so if you can get the hub running, the intended use case is multi-camera live streaming. For someone who needs a working switcher now, this is a risky buy. For someone with a specific parts need or a plan to troubleshoot, the low price is the draw.
Ikegami HL-45W Video Camera Pro Broadcasting includes TA-45 Triax Adapter
The Ikegami HL-45W is not a switcher at all; it is a professional broadcast camera sold with a TA-45 Triax Adapter. At USD 69.95, it is an inexpensive way into a camera chain with Triax connectivity. The used unit is described as a professional broadcasting camera, and the gray finish gives it a classic studio look. If you already own a switcher and need another camera to feed into your production, this bundle deserves attention. If your goal is to buy a video switcher, this won't replace one. It is the camera-side pick in this set, and the Triax adapter is the standout accessory.
Final recommendation by use case
If you need a new HDMI switcher for live streaming, the 4K HDMI switcher at USD 160.99 is the only new switcher in the comparison. If you need professional IP/SDI switching with 4K UHD-ready connectivity, the EVS DYVI at USD 1,459.00 is the high-spec used option. If you want the lowest-priced switcher and are willing to work on a parts unit, the Slingstudio Hub at USD 45.00 is the repair-project choice. If you need a professional broadcast camera with a Triax adapter, the Ikegami HL-45W at USD 69.95 is the camera-side option. Match the condition to the job: the new and used switchers are priced at USD 160.99 and USD 1,459.00, while the low-priced entries are a parts unit and a camera.
