can you list the make of your switcher

sorry no make on it

starts off with -

power-auto-1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8 bypass1-8 then time

if that helps

do you get the same problem if you set the unit to manual i.e press 1 for camera 1 unpress 1 and press 2 for camera 2

yes the only time i dont get it is when i only connect one camera but still then the date and time are brighter than if i dont have the switcher connected at all .

without knowing the make you could have a simple problem such as time delay for each camera giving you two images at once or the unit is faulty. for the price just get a new one (only cost a few $
