Yeah, the only way I could see it working... if with a managed switch and isolated VLANs such that each camera can only see each converter. This would let us, if such worked, let us avoid physical patching of POE connections at the main patch panel, but it would be significant overhead to setup and maintain, via software control, versus physical control When just moving a patch panel, patch cable, a few inches on demand, gets the job done. I only mention that the isolated VLAN scenario as a possible solution for those, that just happen to have the skill set to do such. I happen to have it, by hobby/retirement part time job is video production, before that, 30 years as an enterprise IT architect. But how many retired IT guys, pick up video production, editing in retirement? Many? Not so many?
