Vertical live streaming with professional cameras… will it catch on? Tell me what you think!
This is amazing. I need this for sure! Nice work Joseph.
Great device. I think should make a Phone with 5 USB ports , 2x HDMI in , HDMI out and 2x 3.5mm audio in. then you could do similar on your daily phone ! But maybe google/android don't allow it im not sure
@PhotoJoseph :) maybe, but one usb port on regular phones is too restrictive, and they have so much power now i reckon they could handle more ports without having to carry dongles/hubs etc
Hi Joseph, what is the Quality/spec of the built-in Camera? I couldn't find it
There is no built in camera. You connect your professional camera over HDMI.
Can you explain the subscriptions?
Wait? I can multistream to YouTube and Instagram at the same time with ATEM + Instream?! A lot of my clients would love that!!
Totally! Take a program out from the ATEM into the Instream. Perfect!
It would be interesting to see a config of Yolobox Pro and the Instream in a daisy chain so you can do a single live Program going to widescreen and vertical video platforms at the same time.
Vertical live is WAY more practical with the right tool and the Instream right now, is adapted perfectly. As you point out, hook up your pro camera, let it do wide shot recording internal and you got all the bases covered (vertical live) off-line viewing Wide. Works for me.
The video everyone has been waiting for! Thank you Joseph! Informative and insightful! 🎉🎉
One BIG drawback that nobody is discussing with these is that there’s no mix minus for doing shared live streams with other IG accounts! This means that there’s duplicate audio for the production side when using the audio out to monitor your guest or cohost! There’s been ZERO help from Yolo on this.
Interesting. This isn’t something I’ve come across because I have never done a shared Instagram live stream. Break it down for me. You want to monitor your program from the Instream, right. Then to hear the co-host, their audio is coming back into the Instream and getting sent back out again, so the audience hears it twice? Is that the issue? No sorry I’m confused. Please outline it for me, thanks.
@PhotoJoseph I believe it’s a limitation of their Android implementation… the audio out of the device, into your mixer, will contain both your guest and your original mixer-out audio. The guest hears a normal stream, the production gets a doubled audio of themselves. I think this is because the audio out of the Instream is just taking the audio out of the virtualized device and not truly interacting with android as an audio device to which would get the separation within the app. I could be wrong and it could just be the fact that there’s no mix minus for audio on the device. Either way, multi user live streams are a nightmare for production!
@PhotoJoseph and I’ll add, it works great for normal host-only live streams, but Instagram does have a 3:59:59 time limit and kills the stream without warning. We’ve done full day events, and have to plan around this limit, which is an Instagram thing, not a yolo limitation.
I get it now; I fired up the Instream and played audio through IG. There's no control for that audio input. I hear it on the headphones, and even disabling Program audio doesn't turn it off. I presume that's what's going out in the mix, and presumably there's a delay, so it sounds like an echo, or it would not be an issue. Correct? So what YoloLiv needs is an "input" on the mixer that is actually the audio from the Android app. Do I have that right?
@PhotoJoseph they need true mix minus for audio. Production should be separate from the app your streaming to. For instance, you have a natural mix minus when you’re just streaming with your phone… you are not in the mix you hear from the app, that would be silly right!? They just need to add mix minus to the audio controls from what I see.
What an ingenious device to get good-looking vertical video.
nice the big question is does it work with Bitfocus Companion?
I wish!! This is a huge request that we've had into YoloLiv for a long time. I don't know if it's even possible running on Android, but they know we want it!!
Awesome! Thank you for sharing this. I had my eye on this one but wasn’t sure it would meet my needs. You’ve just confirmed it does..
