Take Mobile Multicam Livestreaming to the Next Level with YoloBox Pro https://news.broadfield.com/take-mobile-multicam-livestreaming-to-the-next-level-with-yolobox-pro/ Mon, 08 Nov 2021 14:38:11 +0000 https://news.broadfield.com/?p=20107

Tom Buck made a fantastic user review for the new YoloLiv YoloBox Pro!

Livestreaming is fun, but sometimes the setup can be overwhelming. The YoloBox Pro is ultra portable and lets you create multicam streams and recordings, so lets see how well it performs in a real-world workflow!

As mentioned in the video YoloBox sent the Pro to me for free, but there’s no commitment on my part to make a video. I’ve had a great experience using it and I think it’s an awesome upgrade over the original, so I was excited to talk about it.

Pearl Nano review videos are in https://news.broadfield.com/pearl-nano-review-videos-are-in/ Wed, 05 May 2021 18:48:49 +0000 https://news.broadfield.com/?p=18455 The Epiphan Pearl Nano is the newest and most compact member of the Pearl family of encoders. We’ve put a lot of hard work and rigorous testing into ensuring Pearl Nano adheres to our core values of reliability, versatility, and ease of use. We are truly proud of the end result, but we might be just a little biased.

“I can tell you for sure I would not set up an ATEM Mini in a classroom and expect people to know how to use it without a bunch of training. The Pearl Nano on the other hand is set up for one-button or automatic recording, streaming, and even uploading of content in classrooms and meeting rooms.”

Aaron Parecki

What’s it like to use Pearl Nano? What do users think about the features? How does it perform under pressure? Is it everything it claims to be? We gathered some video reviews from industry and tech experts for their unbiased opinions about Pearl Nano.

“I could program [Pearl Nano] and mail it and a decent audio solution to different people that I want to interview, have them set it up, and do interviews. Can you do the same thing with OBS and a crappy laptop? Yes, you absolutely can, but it’s going to age you prematurely because supporting that is going to take a lot of your time. The technological debt of building a solution like that is not going to be pretty.”

Level1Techs

There is a giant assortment of review videos that Epiphan has put into one place to check out! And all we can say for the Pearl Nano is… wow.

Check out all these amazing review right here to learn more!

YouTuber Monte Weaver recently made an amazing unboxing video for the great PTZOptics Webcam 80. And he did it live!

The PTZOptics webcam (PT-WEBCAM-80) is one of the webcams I’ve been wanting to get may hands on for a while. I finally have one and in this video, I will unbox and give my real-time feedback. PTZ Optics cameras are best know for their PTZ – pan/tilt/zoom cameras but this is one is a camera that can compete with any webcam currently on the market.

PANASONIC AG-CX10 REVIEW // Camcorders are still cool in 2021! https://news.broadfield.com/panasonic-ag-cx10-review-camcorders-are-still-cool-in-2021/ Thu, 04 Mar 2021 14:55:57 +0000 https://news.broadfield.com/?p=17797

YouTube channel KINOTIKA recently uploaded a great video breaking down why the Panasonic AG-CX10 4K Camcorder is truly one of the best camcorders out there on the market.

This camera is really not designed to be a cinematic camera, and that’s great. (The CX10) is built more for news, live streaming, run and gun event coverage, and overall a reliable workhorse camera for documentaries

The Perfect Run and Gun Camera for Sports and More! https://news.broadfield.com/the-perfect-run-and-gun-camera-for-sports-and-more/ Fri, 26 Feb 2021 18:27:21 +0000 https://news.broadfield.com/?p=17735 This is a 4K camcorder that’s light weight, compact, and versatile. The number of settings available here can help out any kind of on-the-go production out there. This camera is perfect for documentarians and sports production alike!

For example, this camera is so easy to just throw into your hands, point, and shoot. While it’s big brother (AG-CX350) might have more versatility for professional higher end productions, this camcorder has a great 24x optical zoom, can shoot up to 4Kp60, utilizes HDMI or SDI out, and even has built in XLR ports perfect for audio. As you can see in the picture below, you can even adjust the audio settings to what you need. very customization.

In other words, the built in XLR ports makes it easy to either just mount a shotgun mic onto the mic holster directly, or use a longer cable to plug in so your talent can hold the mic and do a proper interview. No more worrying about sync issues.

There is also a built in light on the camera that can be used to help keep your subjects lit in less than stellar lighting situations.

With a firmware update, this camera can even be used over NDI, bring in control and video over ethernet. This is an amazing asset for sports production as the camera roams up and down the bleachers to capture the audience, or even get good shots of the players on the field, maybe coach reactions.
