YoloLiv has introduced the YoloBox Extreme, their most advanced all-in-one live streaming device yet. Designed for professionals, it offers significant upgrades, including 8 HDMI inputs, a bright OLED touchscreen, 4K streaming and recording, enhanced wireless capabilities with external antennas, and support for up to 8 NDI inputs. The device boasts a powerful Qualcomm 8 Gen2 processor and a long-lasting battery, making it ideal for various production needs, from simple events to complex multi-camera setups. With features like instant replay, ISO recording, and a user-friendly interface, the YoloBox Extreme aims to be a comprehensive and portable solution for live video creation.
Here’s a breakdown of its features and benefits:
What it is
The YoloBox Extreme is like having a video encoder (turns your camera signals into online video), a monitor (so you can see what you’re doing), a switcher (lets you change between different cameras and sources), and a recorder (saves your video) all in one portable device. You don’t need a separate computer or a lot of extra equipment.
Key Features and Benefits
- More Video Sources: It has 8 HDMI inputs. This means you can connect up to eight cameras, computers, or other video devices at the same time. It can even handle different video quality levels because it has built-in 4K60 scaling. This makes it easy to use different types of cameras together.
- Multiple Video Outputs: It has 2 HDMI outputs that you can set up to show different things. For example, one output could show your main live video (Program), and the other could show a view with all your different video sources at once (Multiview) or a Preview of what’s coming next. Both outputs can show video in crisp 4K quality.
- Big and Bright Touchscreen: It has a large 11.2-inch OLED touchscreen that is bright and clear. The screen refreshes very quickly (120Hz), making it smooth to use. It can get up to 1,000 nits bright, so you can see it even when you’re outside. The high-resolution 2.5K OLED display shows vivid colors and sharp details.
- Record Every Camera: A great feature is ISO recording, which means it can record each of your video inputs separately. You can record up to four inputs in 4K quality (at 30 frames per second) or up to six inputs in HD quality (1080p at 60 frames per second). This gives you a lot more flexibility when you’re editing your video later.
- Instant Replays: If you’re covering sports or live events, the MultiCam Instant Replay feature lets you instantly show highlights. You can replay footage from up to 6 cameras in HD or 4 cameras in 4K in real-time. You can even add intros and outros to your replay clips.
- Better Wireless Range: It comes with external antennas that can give you a stronger and more stable wireless connection over a longer distance (up to 90 meters). This is helpful if you’re streaming from a place where the Wi-Fi isn’t great.
- Works with NDI: It supports NDI HX, which is a way for video equipment to send video over a network. You can connect up to 8 NDI inputs wirelessly or with an Ethernet cable, which is useful for more advanced video setups.
- Fast Performance: It’s powered by a Qualcomm 8 Gen2 processor, which is a very fast chip. This makes the YoloBox Extreme work quickly and smoothly, even when you’re switching between many video sources or doing a lot of things at once.
- Long Battery Life: The built-in battery can last up to 10 hours. This means you can stream and record for a long time without needing to plug it in, making it great for events where power outlets are limited.
- Easy to Use: It runs on a user-friendly Android system that you control with the touchscreen. YoloLiv also provides regular updates to add new features. The interface is designed to be intuitive and easy to learn.
