Unfortunately you cannot just switch video like that. Video switchers have a built in ability to sync up the sync of the two sources so the switch is a clean one. What you would be building is a passive switcher which shows a glitch when it is switched.

As an alternative to an in-ear monitor from Shure, Lectrosonics, etc., you might look into the assistive listening systems. They tend to be much cheaper than IEMs & provide much the same fuctionality. Most of them now have user-adjustable frequency selection, just in case your tour takes you into a house running assistive listening equipment on the same channel.

Just be careful, while enforcement is unlikely, it is technically illegal to use the frequencies set aside for assisted listening systems for anything else.
