YoloLiv Yolobox Pro – Live Streaming Encoder Launched
By Adam Noyes
The YoloBox Pro was released not to long ago, introducing YoloBox users to a host of new features for more sophisticated, larger productions. Recently, cined.com posted a great article, reviewing the YoloBox Pro and some of their favorite features.
Check out some highlights from that article, below.
The basic action is to import from various sources, switch those inputs live or recorded as live and then stream out to pre-defined online services like YouTube, Twitch, etc. You can add graphic overlays and rolling captions. There’s a scoreboard feature and live chat options. So, what’s new with the upgraded Yolobox Pro?
Yolobox Pro is the same except there’s more of everything and that includes a better Qualcomm processor to improve the streaming signal. That extra power promises more services in the future, but more about that later.
The difference between Yolobox and Yolobox Pro
Firstly the screen is bigger, an 8–inch LCD from the original’s 7-inch. The unit itself is heavier and has a fan at the bottom; maybe the result of the Qualcomm processor from the 625 to the claimed twice as powerful 660 chip. The screen is also brighter with a Nit value of 400 from the original 350 – a major selling point of the original Yolobox was its appeal to the road warrior streamer needing a screen for all weathers.
Going through the feature set, the new unit has more camera HDMI inputs, well one more. Of course, an HDMI input doesn’t have to be a camera, it can be a computer or even another switcher for more inputs. Moving along the rear of the new unit there is a new USB–C port which makes three of them, two can be inputs as they’re fully featured. The last is used for charging.
There is also a mic-in, a line-in, and a headphone-out. Allowing you more input choices with the headphone output there to help if you’re only the switcher in a particular scenario and need to listen to the mix.
