Great review ! While the ATEM switchers do have advantages, this switcher certainly have its own good aspects as well. One precision if I may, regarding the key/dsk/bkgd buttons : the "on air" buttons are instant toggles that will apply a cut transition directly for the corresponding layer, which will be toggled on or off on the preview and the live outputs. On the other hand, the three buttons beneath the "on air" buttons, have the label "next transition" written underneath. Traditionnally, these buttons would be called "TIE" on older switchers. What they do is tie the layer to the next transition, so you can choose to affect the background (full screen source), the key (PIP), and/or DSK with your next transition. This means enabling one should only affect the preview, util you apply your transition, where it would be live. Hope this helps clarifying the confusion around this section. ATEM minis would be perfect if they had physical controls for this, and a second output HDMI.
I believe I did explain and show that in the video (preview of key / taking it to air). To clarify for you, the BKGD button stayed permanently lit, regardless of how I pressed it; that was my only puzzlement.
@@TubeShooterMag Sorry for the lack of clarity on my side, I'll give more details. At 11 minutes, you say "Background - BKGD - doesn't seem to do anything, I've not worked out what that one does at all. However these (showing the left key buttons) are to do with keying." Here, Background cannot be untied from the transition unless you at least tie a key or dsk to the transition, since you cannot transition if nothing is selected. And starting at 27 minutes, you say this functionnality is weird : "You can if - you want to - turn it off, weirdly by turning the button on, turns it off on the preview so that when you then cut it's not on screen anymore. It's a bit weird, it sort of turns into an on/off button the other way around when you've taken it to air." You did explain what it does, but I thought it would be a valuable feedback to say that it is not weird but intended functionnality, as this is how keying and tying works, as you can find it on the Atem Mini (in the software control), Atem television studios (as physical buttons : BKGD, KEY-1 to 4 and DSK 1-2 TIE), and other brands, like Barco switchers. This functionnality is one I find the most useful on switchers as physical buttons, hence why I've been most interested in your review of these buttons, but since it seemed to me that it was a bit confusing, I wanted to add the information I could give in case it could help you or a potential viewer with little experience with video switchers.
Not really, as this is not the role of these buttons. The above "On air" buttons do represent the live state of the layers when they are lit in red, and the off state when they are not (and pressing those would indeed toggle this state instantly). But where the preview row has buttons lit in green, Upstream Keys and Downstream Keys have no preview state, other than being show on the preview feed; they just have a transition binding button, which is just that, a binding button, representing the state of the binding to the transition. When lit, the corresponding layer is bound to the transition, and will change state, whereas when not lit, it would just not transition and the layer would stay in the same state (reperesented by the "on air" button being or not being lit in red), so these are two separate roles and this cannot be compared in the way you do. Some manufacturers choose the yellow light to represent transition states, where it is white on this model, but it works in the same way. Bigger and profesionnal video switchers all work in this way, which is the standard, and while is might seem confusing since there is no green light for the preview like the background layers, it does make sense to show which layers are enabled with your transitions, may it be the background, any Upstream key, or any Downstream key upwards.
I just purchased this switcher after watching oodles of video of switchers and couldn’t decide. Somehow, this switcher appears to be the sweet spot for my beginner stage. Your teaching techniques is exemplary. This video is saved so I could begin my venture.
I got this thing about 3 weeks ago and have been fumbling through it ever since. I’ve searched TH-cam up and down for a video that just walks through how it works. I stumbled on this video through Reddit and it is exactly what I wanted!!! Thank you!! This is amazing.
Firstly, thank you. This is what I call a real review! I don't think I was left with one question. Secondly, I agree. I have avoided purchasing any of other prosumer offerings (Blackmagic, RGBLink, etc.) because of the lack of flexibility. So, I'm glad that this one is out and so well reviewed.
Longtime ATEM user here, this is a powerful competitor and I can see why they’ve added the features they have added. It’s not elegant. But it covers the feature sets of expensive BMD machines. BKGD is for when you want to transition a key in or out, but then select NOT to transition the background (camera) at the same time.
Well. Amongst all the reviews i saw, you explained the key related features very well. Loved the detailing of all features. I have recently purchased the Duet model because of SDI capability. This is totally value for money. I am very much comfortable with OBS and it can do all the things which a switcher can do. But just for the price of 3 SDI converters, we get a lot more in Duet model. I actually used Duet once just as a SDI converter by inputting 3 SDI cameras and sending individual outs via 2 HDMI and 1 UVC out. This thing is very powerful. ISO recording will make it a king in its segment.
This is probably the best upgrade for the ATEM mini pro I've seen yet. There are a couple others that offer touch screens or 4k but miss on the extra features on this one. To pick nits, I wish you could supersource all 4/5 inputs but 2 is good. Most will let you do a side by side but no background. The biggest miss for me is the lack of iso recording. I've often been asked for re-edits or clips after a stream and it's been a game changer for business. None the less you are getting more than ATEM mini pro features at at roughly the same price. I highly recommend.
Wow. This basically merges the ATEM Mini with an Extreme and Television Studio HD and a Hyperdeck all in one. I love it. I have three Blackmagic switchers (original Mini, Extreme ISO, Television Studio HD, as well as a HyperDeck) and this thing has features that none of them have (such as web cam in, NDI, volume knobs, T-Bar). I LOVE the fact that you also can get dedicated Preview buttons (like the Television Studio) and preview transition but on a 4-input switcher. That is awesome.
41:24 It may be that the encoder is where they are saving some money in the build of the unit. Another possibility is that if it doesn’t have any active cooling, pushing the encoder to do higher bitrate would heat things up all the more. My guess is that this is where bitrate limitations are coming from. Lack of cooling and the strength of the encoder.
The fanless design is because that the internal heat is generated to the bottom of the equipment. And please don't worry. Our equipment can guarantee normal operation at an ambient temperature of 40 degrees Celsius. The bitrate limitation, do you mean the recording?
The grouping of buttons where the keys and background sit are quite correct, and not backwards. Those buttons set what will be included in the next transition ( just like an ATEM). 'Background' would normally be lit most all of the time because most transitions will be changing the backgrounds (the full screen signal of each of the inputs). When 'Background' and 'DSK' are both highlighted, both will be included in the next transition -- transitioning to the preview-selected input AND the pre-planned key. A situation in which you might turn off the background is to use the transition tools to add/remove the keys but not change the background. If your main presenter is on camera 1, you could turn off the background and only select the DSK, and using a transition (mix, etc.) gently/nicely mix on the presenter's name (the DSK), and just as nicely remove it without the presenter going away. Otherwise you use the On Air buttons to CUT the keys on and off. The On Air buttons help you know what key is currently going out on Program, to help you determine what should be included in the next transition (to perhaps turn the key(s) off using a transition).
Hi, thanks. I don't think I ever said the buttons weren't correct, and I showed what they do. But the BKGD button doesn't do *anything*. It is permanently lit, no matter how you press it.
@@TubeShooterMag Try to press it, when one of the buttons left to it are LIT. It should turn off. And THEN you can use the Transition to bring a Keyer on-Air or of-Air without affecting the Video behind it (the ‚background‘)
We made NDI into the Beta version for reviewers to test it. However it is not yet ready for release until the thorough test can be done. Pls stay tuned with us. The NDI functionality will be released through a FW update, and in addition you'll have to purchase a license to activate the NDI, which is sold separately.
I wasn't able to find any video explaining how to connect the Switcher to OBS. here is what I'm doing... Gostream to pc via USB 1 - then Open OBS and create a Video Capture Dev - I'm seeing the GoStream option but when I click okay. the display is just Black. What am I missing? Help please
Is there an audio delay setting for syncing the mic inputs to the HDMI inputs, like the ATEMs? That's the only thing I haven't seen that the GoStream could/should incorporate, if it doesn't have it.
Here I am trying to decide which new switcher to buy (Sold my ATEM Extreme ISO) just for my office, (ATEM or YoyoBox Ultra) and now you go and put another mixer in the mix...Thanks a lot, David! Nice review. If I ever produce a product (yeah, that's not going to happen), I would hire you to do the training video. Well done!
Haha thanks. I do like this GoStream deck although I wish the macro buttons didn't record keystrokes but were just a snapshot of the settings at that time (because ensuring you've pressed all the keys that might ever be needed to recreate a particular scene is quite the nuisance)
It raises the question What will blackmagic bring out to compensate that Maybe will see the Atem mini advance with t bar usb input maybe two on the extreme models who knows But it will be interesting to see
The ability to record is also very interesting. The choice of having the preview on the right and the program on the left is strange, normally it's the other way around.
Very very nice. I wonder if it will allow using the NDI source with a pre-multiplied alpha. ProPresenter 7 can generate a premultiplied alpha for an NDI with transparency for overlays.

Wooow, this really looks like a heavily inspired and improved Atem Mini design. I wonder how many of the parts are actually the same, even the configuration options looks like they come from the Atem Software Control. I bet it’s completely retro engineered from Blackmagic. However it’s also completely implementing features people dream about, in future models. Thanks for the review! Part of me wants to buy it, other part wants to support the (alledly) original designer, Blackmagic 😅
I enjoyed that. Nifty looking machine. After watching a precious video I went and bought the video camera you recommended, another a lovely camera and very useful video. All the best.
Great review. I was so impressed I purchase Osee GoStream Deck for my church to be deployed this week for an event coming up on Sunday October 15, 2023. I had planned to use NDI to display lower third and lyrics but NDI is not available until later. What is the best workaround to accomplish lower third and lyrics display? I will appreciate a quick response.
Could you please demonstrate what the software that comes with the mixer looks like? Does it give you access to all the features ? Especially for those of us who would prefer to manage the mixer via software
I really enjoyed your content, and it was really useful. I was about to buy this, but after going through your explanation and the demonstration, I thought to rethink buying it instead of the Atem Mini Pro. Because I'm more concerned about my streaming quality, which is already at 51000 bitrate on TH-cam. and I also thought multi-RTMP would be more advanced in quality.
Ah - very important: see my video after this one in which I explained it was a misunderstanding between me and Osee (they were quoting megabyes per sec and I thought they were giving megabits).
What you mention about the macros recording some settings, even though they don't change is called "tickling the buttons" and it is a rather confusing process sometimes.
I was listening just to the audio at work and I thought "he really does sound a bit like the canal boat guy." Great review. I always wonder what lifespan devices will have.
Very interesting kit. Thanks for the in depth review! I assume there is no software interface for this, similar to the ATEM software? The ability to save out start-up states on the ATEM make location work very easy to get the switcher set up. I’d think that you’d have to schedule extra time on location to fiddle about with all the settings to get ready for a show. Seems like ATEM is the clear winner on that front.
looks like a nice piece of gear, the only questions i have are: is the switch of the output source seamless? I do streaming for a few conferences and it would be useful to use one of the HDMI-Outs to send a signal to a projector so that I can easily display a logo/program/announcements/... in-between different talks where no speaker laptop is present (the switching should be possible with macros) does the mixer support the alpha channel that is possible with NDI? would be super cool to use this for overlays does the mixer support some form of remote control over network? does the mixer only record the program mix or is it also possible to record single sources? (like the ISO Models from Blackmagic) does the mixer support custom RTMP Servers? We have our own Streaming Servers so we would need to set our own server-address and credentials
The only one I can answer directly is that whilst you can choose which source is recorded, it’s a single source at a time, not multiple ISO sources, if that makes sense.
We made NDI into the Beta version for reviewers to test it. However it is not yet ready for release until the thorough test can be done. Pls stay tuned with us. The NDI functionality will be released through a FW update, and in addition you'll have to purchase a license to activate the NDI, which is sold separately. The mixer does not support network remote control. It only records the program mix. The custom setting of RTMP will be achieved by firmware update later.
It looks to be a very useful little machine! I liked it too. What I don't like about it and this applies to Blackmagic Design's offerings also, is the material used for the buttons. That rubberised-plastic is notorious for becoming sticky and decaying over time. This particular machine still made a lot of clicking noises when you pushed the buttons, so I would much prefer if they used computer keyboard like hard physical buttons. That alone would extend the longevity of the product. Yes, I understand that the bit-rate aspect would likely become obsolete pretty quickly for live streaming, but for using as a mixing desk in a multi-camera shoot and outputting the signal to a recorder, it has a much longer life as a useable machine which I suspect would outlive those terrible rubberised buttons.
Hello my friend, this is one of the most useful review i saw on this device. Thank you so much! I have just a question, since you probably got more confortable with this device, is it possible to store configurations on macro buttons? I mean not recording any pressing on buttons but storing configurations of pip, keys and so on and change with the simple press of a button. Example, default config on button 1, pip configurations when i want to use pip, with custom positions on button 2, chroma settings on button 2 and so on. Thank you again!
The buttons are purely macros, they store a sequence of keypresses. So if you want to store a specific configuration of PIP or whatever, you have to record the sequence of keypresses to make that PIP how you want it; they don’t simply record window layouts howsoever you have them defined at that moment (as seen on some other switchers). Whilst the macro approach is arguably more flexible since you can use the buttons to store almost any sequence, I find it less useful than dedicated ‘layout’ storage buttons because macros are too finicky for me.
I think you can make this happen by using the supersource and the downstream key as I recall but it's a bit of a messy workaround rather than a proper way of doing it.
Thank you very much for the review. Back then, I ended up with the ATEM Mini Pro even though I really wanted the Mini Extreme for one feature only: Super Source. The Mini Pro doesn't have the Super Source feature, but this Osee device does, and that's enough for me to purchase it. Yes, the buttons have a strange marking, but as long as the function works, I don't care what it is called. Thanks again for sharing. Edit: With so many customizations, is it possible to create presets?
Your reviews are just great, thank you for all this valuable information. I‘m currently using a Yolobox Pro in conjunction with an Atem Mini Pro ISO in order to have all video streams recorded and to being able to use differents recording quality settings than those of the low bandwith stream. The thing is that I would wish to get a device which would be something of a crossmerger between the Cinetreak Cinelive C1 you just reviewed and this Osee GoStream Deck. I like the video player feature of the GoStream a lot, but I need a PTZ controller like the Cinelive has one. Is there such a kind of device on the market in the budget sector?
Thanks for this comprehensive tutorial and review. I run video for a small church, and our old church succeeded with the ATEM Mini Pro. But I've been seeing complaints about no on/off switch, no headphone jack, and only 1 output. It looks like this provides all of those and much more. Will probably go with this for my new church instead of ATEM Mini Pro. Q: Do you know what the NDI license will cost?
Unfortunately I don't know at present. I'm hoping to get the NDI firmware when it's ready so I can do an update video, and hopefully I should get the price then too. I suspect it'll be set by whichever organisation owns the NDI tech spec rather than by Osee
I'm on the fence between this and a Atem mini Pro. Great video. 2 doubts that would convince me to go with the Osee over the Atem. For shaping audio, I have a Zoom Podcaster, which I'm thinking I can solve the audio problem by mixing my audio sources there and bringing it in through one of the 2 Mic inputs on the Osee, right? Second, does the Osee have a program record option? Like the Atem mini Pro has the USB-C where you can connect a drive and record your program there. For streaming it all looks great, but I would also like to record my program for later use. again, great video!
Nice little device, I like the hardware fader. It should be able to handle at least 6Mb streaming for HD. Are preview and program interchangeable? Almost every mixer has the program output on the right side.
If you had to choose a switcher, would you choose this over the AVMatrix switcher you used to film the canal boats somewhere while back? This seems more powerful but the AVMatrix seems to have a much easier menu.
I think I would choose this as it’s more flexible (customisable in what inputs go to where etc) and it has built-in streaming so I wouldn’t need to take the laptop running OBS, though doing so does give you advantages such as additional graphics etc
I am very new to video production. Currently I set up large boxing/UFC events with a lot of moving heads. The last event we got a few projectors and used the computer hdmi out and fed the projectors. It worked great. The question I have is can I use the output from this video switcher to a HDMI splitter and feed multiple projectors ? Or is something else needed? If so how or what is needed...Thanks
You can always use USB to USB-C adapter. The only requirement is HDMI to USB converter should be UVC compliant ( USB video device class). Cheers. @@TubeShooterMag
I am trying to set up a live streaming for a church. I see a lot of resources for combining ATEM and ProPresenter, bot not with this one. Does this work similar to and set up similar to ATEM for ProPresenter?
Had a chance to get a Gostream to play around with and see if I can integrate into my productions. ATEM Killer? Definitely not. ATEM Challenger Definitely! It is missing some must have features I am use to having with ATEM switchers. If Ocee can find away to duplicate them, then it would be an ATEM killer.
Not available in my country.. but i hope it come soon.. this is way good compare to ATEM. Tbh, ATEM mini pro only lacks (imo): 1. 2nd HDMI Output 2. SD Card for recording (but Osee went ahead with playback too!) 3. and also audio out.. but most monitor have jack.. can be forgiven. 4. Multi-stream! This is a god-send.. I wonder what more features it surpass the ATEM mini line. I doubt Osee can be used with Companion app.. but if it can… that is super bonus..
Could you say something about latency? How much delay is there between incoming and outgoing signal? Fast enough to do gaming using OUT 1 to play the game?
Hello and good afternoon. Have you noticed any overheating issues or video sources becoming choppy and laggy after extended use? I had this feature with the atem mini, and the feelworld l2pro. Im seriously considering selling that for this. Cheers for this fantastic video review
I haven’t used it for sufficient length of time to encounter any problems - the demo in this video was the longest I’ve run it and it was OK but it certainly does get quite warm underneath.
The more it does the smaller it looks. If you have big hands you're going to get cramps in your hand. (It's really small.) If it gets that hot streaming low bitrates it might cook itself to death if it pushes data any faster. NOTHING wrong with the manufacturer adding a few fans and a big heat sink. In fact it would give the user more confidence running it full-bore for a whole broadcast day. The switcher blowing up would ruin your whole day. Balanced audio would be nice too. SDI instead of HDMI as well. It's much less consequential to go to HDMI from SDI. Simple active adapters work very well.
MJPEG, 1080P30. If you want a higher quality format, you can use HDMI output and an external capture card to achieve it. HDMI output to 1080P60, UVC output to 1080P30.
I just received my unit and updated the firmware. The main feature that I wanted to test was the NDI input. Unfortunately, I only see SD Card or USB Camera as the only selections. Thoughts?
Response from the manufacturer - The NDI function is not available at this moment. It is still under development and will be available by firmware update in the future.
Thanks for this excellent review, it helped me a lot. I have one problem, with the mic input options, mic has disappeared as an option, line and mic + power are still there though. How can this be fixed? It seems the mic option disappeared after i connected a mic to it, it was a takstar mic.
Strictly speaking it's for a mic that needs a small "plug in power" such as certain tiny lavalier mics or older small camera shotguns. But I don't believe (I think!!) that it would harm a mic that uses its own built-in supply to be plugged into the channel configured as "mic+pwr"
Question on the SD card: does it record and playback clips at the same time to the SD? Is there a limit on the clip playback length and the format? Can you write to SD through computer on the usbc? Can you Ftp to ss over network?
You can, I believe, record and play back simultaneously. Not sure about the other questions, sorry, but Osee are chipping in here with answers every so often.
For the macros, can you get an editable file like the ATEM? If found that to be a godsend with more complicated macros. Also is there any extra functionality with a computer?
I want to a mixer like this that can record the video inputs, each input on a separate file? I want this function so that if at the end of my podcast I don't like the mixing, I can simply take each main file to Adobe Premiere pro and re-edit the videos.
a question : Is possible use cameras with different resolutions or frame rates? for example working with one source at 1080i50 and another at 1080i60. Thanks
@@TubeShooterMag Image magnification e.g for projectors or big screens in churches etc. If there's too much latency the image delay will be obvious to viewers in churches
Does this switcher have built on scalers like the Atem mini? In other words could I connect different cameras/ computers (sources) and it scales it out to a dedicated frame rate automatically?
Hi, I have a problem with my Osee GoStream switcher, I wasn't able to find any video explaining how to connect the Switcher to OBS. here is what I'm doing... Gostream to pc via USB 1 - then Open OBS and create a Video Capture Dev - I'm seeing the GoStream option but when I click okay. the display is just Black. What am I missing? can you please Help me with this?
I’m no expert at OBS but there are various settings for each capture device, so maybe tinker with those (eg resolution and frame rate). Is it actually a PC or a Mac (the prior MacOS version has a bug with seeing streaming inputs)
@@TubeShooterMag thank you for your quick response. Really appreciate it. Let me ask you one more question which I wasn't able to find it in your video. What about the headset. Once its connected, I cannot hear whats being recording. Is there any key that needs to be turn on? 🤔
That's odd. As I recall (and I'm writing this without the device in front of me so apologies for any error), there is a headphone volume either in the audio mixer or in the main settings. I do recall seeing it because it was able to drive my headphones very loudly!
Hey all! I recently got the deck and after successfully connecting my sony fx3 to the osee deck via an HDMI cable the first time around, now it doesn't register on the switcher. Wondering if anyone else has had this issue, and if so, what's the solve was?

Hello sir. I found some trouble on my osee, when my osee want to connect to monitor, the monitor can't display my osee. Do you know the solution. (i used monitor display from LG 22,5 inch)
The default setting for the Osee output is something like 30Hz I think (check in the manual) so the monitor has to be able to display the default refresh rate at a minimum (after which, once you can see the output, you can change it in the menus)
Thanks for the reply @@TubeShooterMag I can put a jack on my desk but it won't work there either. That was the first thing that did not work on my GoStream. This is NO ATEM killer but a Chinese Knock Off. I had the GoStream running on top of a laptop/tablet fan for a combined 5 or so hours. I also wasted several days researching this unit. Second thing was I could not stream to Castr because there is no underscore in the keyboard. Third was the monitor went black. Then shortly after that the second monitor went black. Now it is in the box waiting to return to Amazon. I wish I could have gotten the GoStream to work properly but need a computer to monitor my Stream anyway and (HDMI audio extractor and USB-C HeadPhone jack adapter) HeadSet solutions are on the way. I then got the ATEM Pro. It is a much more solid piece of machinery at the same price. I had it streaming in less than 1 hour.
@@TubeShooterMag So glad I returned the Chinese KnockOff after every other other thing crapped out.and now use the superior ATEM Pro with no problems at all with software control and camera control. The headset problem can be solved with an HDMI Audio Extractor.
Great review ! While the ATEM switchers do have advantages, this switcher certainly have its own good aspects as well.
One precision if I may, regarding the key/dsk/bkgd buttons : the "on air" buttons are instant toggles that will apply a cut transition directly for the corresponding layer, which will be toggled on or off on the preview and the live outputs.
On the other hand, the three buttons beneath the "on air" buttons, have the label "next transition" written underneath. Traditionnally, these buttons would be called "TIE" on older switchers.
What they do is tie the layer to the next transition, so you can choose to affect the background (full screen source), the key (PIP), and/or DSK with your next transition.
This means enabling one should only affect the preview, util you apply your transition, where it would be live.
Hope this helps clarifying the confusion around this section.
ATEM minis would be perfect if they had physical controls for this, and a second output HDMI.
I believe I did explain and show that in the video (preview of key / taking it to air).
To clarify for you, the BKGD button stayed permanently lit, regardless of how I pressed it; that was my only puzzlement.
Great review . Everything you need to know was mentioned. Thank you
@@TubeShooterMag Sorry for the lack of clarity on my side, I'll give more details.
At 11 minutes, you say "Background - BKGD - doesn't seem to do anything, I've not worked out what that one does at all. However these (showing the left key buttons) are to do with keying."
Here, Background cannot be untied from the transition unless you at least tie a key or dsk to the transition, since you cannot transition if nothing is selected.
And starting at 27 minutes, you say this functionnality is weird : "You can if - you want to - turn it off, weirdly by turning the button on, turns it off on the preview so that when you then cut it's not on screen anymore. It's a bit weird, it sort of turns into an on/off button the other way around when you've taken it to air."
You did explain what it does, but I thought it would be a valuable feedback to say that it is not weird but intended functionnality, as this is how keying and tying works, as you can find it on the Atem Mini (in the software control), Atem television studios (as physical buttons : BKGD, KEY-1 to 4 and DSK 1-2 TIE), and other brands, like Barco switchers.
This functionnality is one I find the most useful on switchers as physical buttons, hence why I've been most interested in your review of these buttons, but since it seemed to me that it was a bit confusing, I wanted to add the information I could give in case it could help you or a potential viewer with little experience with video switchers.
Cheers for the clarification; I see what you mean. It is still weird that "on" (lit) becomes "off" and vice versa; it's inconsistent.
Not really, as this is not the role of these buttons. The above "On air" buttons do represent the live state of the layers when they are lit in red, and the off state when they are not (and pressing those would indeed toggle this state instantly).
But where the preview row has buttons lit in green, Upstream Keys and Downstream Keys have no preview state, other than being show on the preview feed; they just have a transition binding button, which is just that, a binding button, representing the state of the binding to the transition.
When lit, the corresponding layer is bound to the transition, and will change state, whereas when not lit, it would just not transition and the layer would stay in the same state (reperesented by the "on air" button being or not being lit in red), so these are two separate roles and this cannot be compared in the way you do.
Some manufacturers choose the yellow light to represent transition states, where it is white on this model, but it works in the same way.
Bigger and profesionnal video switchers all work in this way, which is the standard, and while is might seem confusing since there is no green light for the preview like the background layers, it does make sense to show which layers are enabled with your transitions, may it be the background, any Upstream key, or any Downstream key upwards.

And since they won't, we are here and at a much much better price point
Longtime ATEM user here, this is a powerful competitor and I can see why they’ve added the features they have added. It’s not elegant. But it covers the feature sets of expensive BMD machines. BKGD is for when you want to transition a key in or out, but then select NOT to transition the background (camera) at the same time.
Well. Amongst all the reviews i saw, you explained the key related features very well. Loved the detailing of all features. I have recently purchased the Duet model because of SDI capability.
This is totally value for money. I am very much comfortable with OBS and it can do all the things which a switcher can do. But just for the price of 3 SDI converters, we get a lot more in Duet model. I actually used Duet once just as a SDI converter by inputting 3 SDI cameras and sending individual outs via 2 HDMI and 1 UVC out. This thing is very powerful. ISO recording will make it a king in its segment.
Thank you, I'm glad it was helpful 😀
19:00 wow. Its actually reducing the spill that is reflecting on the glossy side of the box 😮
Very good summary 🙂 Wish I'd heard about this one before I bought an Atem Mini Pro... looks like I'll have to get one of these now!
This is probably the best upgrade for the ATEM mini pro I've seen yet. There are a couple others that offer touch screens or 4k but miss on the extra features on this one.
To pick nits, I wish you could supersource all 4/5 inputs but 2 is good. Most will let you do a side by side but no background. The biggest miss for me is the lack of iso recording. I've often been asked for re-edits or clips after a stream and it's been a game changer for business.
None the less you are getting more than ATEM mini pro features at at roughly the same price. I highly recommend.
You got what you pay for!
Wow. This basically merges the ATEM Mini with an Extreme and Television Studio HD and a Hyperdeck all in one. I love it. I have three Blackmagic switchers (original Mini, Extreme ISO, Television Studio HD, as well as a HyperDeck) and this thing has features that none of them have (such as web cam in, NDI, volume knobs, T-Bar). I LOVE the fact that you also can get dedicated Preview buttons (like the Television Studio) and preview transition but on a 4-input switcher. That is awesome.
41:24 It may be that the encoder is where they are saving some money in the build of the unit. Another possibility is that if it doesn’t have any active cooling, pushing the encoder to do higher bitrate would heat things up all the more.
My guess is that this is where bitrate limitations are coming from. Lack of cooling and the strength of the encoder.
The fanless design is because that the internal heat is generated to the bottom of the equipment. And please don't worry. Our equipment can guarantee normal operation at an ambient temperature of 40 degrees Celsius. The bitrate limitation, do you mean the recording?
The grouping of buttons where the keys and background sit are quite correct, and not backwards. Those buttons set what will be included in the next transition ( just like an ATEM).
'Background' would normally be lit most all of the time because most transitions will be changing the backgrounds (the full screen signal of each of the inputs). When 'Background' and 'DSK' are both highlighted, both will be included in the next transition -- transitioning to the preview-selected input AND the pre-planned key.
A situation in which you might turn off the background is to use the transition tools to add/remove the keys but not change the background. If your main presenter is on camera 1, you could turn off the background and only select the DSK, and using a transition (mix, etc.) gently/nicely mix on the presenter's name (the DSK), and just as nicely remove it without the presenter going away.
Otherwise you use the On Air buttons to CUT the keys on and off. The On Air buttons help you know what key is currently going out on Program, to help you determine what should be included in the next transition (to perhaps turn the key(s) off using a transition).
Hi, thanks. I don't think I ever said the buttons weren't correct, and I showed what they do. But the BKGD button doesn't do *anything*. It is permanently lit, no matter how you press it.
@@TubeShooterMag
Try to press it, when one of the buttons left to it are LIT.
It should turn off. And THEN you can use the Transition to bring a Keyer on-Air or of-Air without affecting the Video behind it (the ‚background‘)
We made NDI into the Beta version for reviewers to test it. However it is not yet ready for release until the thorough test can be done. Pls stay tuned with us.
The NDI functionality will be released through a FW update, and in addition you'll have to purchase a license to activate the NDI, which is sold separately.
I wasn't able to find any video explaining how to connect the Switcher to OBS. here is what I'm doing... Gostream to pc via USB 1 - then Open OBS and create a Video Capture Dev - I'm seeing the GoStream option but when I click okay. the display is just Black. What am I missing? Help please
Hi, Concerning the stream bit rate that is just about 1mb as mentioned, has there been any update, or will there be in the future?
Do you sell the box separately with the mini monitor? Please share link for ordering
Thanks for a full and accessible showing. Appreciated the way you frame things. [pun, Boom Boom]
Cheers!
Is there an audio delay setting for syncing the mic inputs to the HDMI inputs, like the ATEMs? That's the only thing I haven't seen that the GoStream could/should incorporate, if it doesn't have it.
Also could it have a stinger option
I wish Blackmagic offered a form of T-bar (even if it's an audio fader to make it even more small) in their smaller switchers.
Here I am trying to decide which new switcher to buy (Sold my ATEM Extreme ISO) just for my office, (ATEM or YoyoBox Ultra) and now you go and put another mixer in the mix...Thanks a lot, David! Nice review. If I ever produce a product (yeah, that's not going to happen), I would hire you to do the training video. Well done!
Haha thanks. I do like this GoStream deck although I wish the macro buttons didn't record keystrokes but were just a snapshot of the settings at that time (because ensuring you've pressed all the keys that might ever be needed to recreate a particular scene is quite the nuisance)
You can never have enough switchers
I think the solution me as a person who has an atem mini pro is to get this and use it as an input source to the atem.
thanks for sharing the new video mixer! 👍🏼 Give me more detail for the machine! 😊 May i ask about the tally system? Thank you very much🙏🏼
the same problem with ATEMs without XLR inputs, unless an interface could be connected via USB-C
It raises the question
What will blackmagic bring out to compensate that
Maybe will see the Atem mini advance with t bar usb input maybe two on the extreme models who knows
But it will be interesting to see
The ATEM needs faders for audio levels. The up and down buttons are so janky.
Ahahaha. I suspect they'll do NOTHING. Though they need to they want to protect their higher priced products.
The ability to record is also very interesting. The choice of having the preview on the right and the program on the left is strange, normally it's the other way around.
Luckily you can swap them
@@TubeShooterMag Very good, I had thought so but I couldn't be sure if it could be done. Thank you
Very very nice. I wonder if it will allow using the NDI source with a pre-multiplied alpha. ProPresenter 7 can generate a premultiplied alpha for an NDI with transparency for overlays.
We made NDI into the Beta version for reviewers to test it. However it is not yet ready for release until the thorough test can be done. Pls stay tuned with us.
The NDI functionality will be released through a FW update, and in addition you'll have to purchase a license to activate the NDI, which is sold separately.
Wooow, this really looks like a heavily inspired and improved Atem Mini design. I wonder how many of the parts are actually the same, even the configuration options looks like they come from the Atem Software Control.
I bet it’s completely retro engineered from Blackmagic. However it’s also completely implementing features people dream about, in future models. Thanks for the review!
Part of me wants to buy it, other part wants to support the (alledly) original designer, Blackmagic 😅
Who cares about Blackmagic if it does not cares about us?
Awesome review, i learnt alot about this product, by watching your review!! well done & thank you!
I enjoyed that. Nifty looking machine. After watching a precious video I went and bought the video camera you recommended, another a lovely camera and very useful video. All the best.
Great to hear!
Great review. I was so impressed I purchase Osee GoStream Deck for my church to be deployed this week for an event coming up on Sunday October 15, 2023. I had planned to use NDI to display lower third and lyrics but NDI is not available until later. What is the best workaround to accomplish lower third and lyrics display? I will appreciate a quick response.
The button labeled "BKGD" just means that the transition will be between the preview and program bus, without any keys (which would be the foreground)
Could you please demonstrate what the software that comes with the mixer looks like? Does it give you access to all the features ? Especially for those of us who would prefer to manage the mixer via software
Wow, thanks for this complete walktrough.
I really enjoyed your content, and it was really useful. I was about to buy this, but after going through your explanation and the demonstration, I thought to rethink buying it instead of the Atem Mini Pro. Because I'm more concerned about my streaming quality, which is already at 51000 bitrate on TH-cam. and I also thought multi-RTMP would be more advanced in quality.
Ah - very important: see my video after this one in which I explained it was a misunderstanding between me and Osee (they were quoting megabyes per sec and I thought they were giving megabits).
What you mention about the macros recording some settings, even though they don't change is called "tickling the buttons" and it is a rather confusing process sometimes.
I like that phrase!! Splendid 🤣🤣
OMG ... I just stumbled onto this video and I was like "I know that voice" big fan of your other YT content so that's a Sub right away!
🤣🤣
I was listening just to the audio at work and I thought "he really does sound a bit like the canal boat guy." Great review. I always wonder what lifespan devices will have.
Same. I knew he had other channels but didn't see them until this video.
Very interesting kit. Thanks for the in depth review! I assume there is no software interface for this, similar to the ATEM software? The ability to save out start-up states on the ATEM make location work very easy to get the switcher set up. I’d think that you’d have to schedule extra time on location to fiddle about with all the settings to get ready for a show. Seems like ATEM is the clear winner on that front.
No, no software interface
WOW You have a youtube empire of channels! Crusing the Cut to Tech Tips!
Haha yes!! 🤣
Excellent video review! This device is very reasonably priced considering all its features.
It really is!
looks like a nice piece of gear, the only questions i have are:
is the switch of the output source seamless? I do streaming for a few conferences and it would be useful to use one of the HDMI-Outs to send a signal to a projector so that I can easily display a logo/program/announcements/... in-between different talks where no speaker laptop is present (the switching should be possible with macros)
does the mixer support the alpha channel that is possible with NDI? would be super cool to use this for overlays
does the mixer support some form of remote control over network?
does the mixer only record the program mix or is it also possible to record single sources? (like the ISO Models from Blackmagic)
does the mixer support custom RTMP Servers? We have our own Streaming Servers so we would need to set our own server-address and credentials
The only one I can answer directly is that whilst you can choose which source is recorded, it’s a single source at a time, not multiple ISO sources, if that makes sense.
We made NDI into the Beta version for reviewers to test it. However it is not yet ready for release until the thorough test can be done. Pls stay tuned with us.
The NDI functionality will be released through a FW update, and in addition you'll have to purchase a license to activate the NDI, which is sold separately. The mixer does not support network remote control. It only records the program mix. The custom setting of RTMP will be achieved by firmware update later.
It looks to be a very useful little machine! I liked it too. What I don't like about it and this applies to Blackmagic Design's offerings also, is the material used for the buttons. That rubberised-plastic is notorious for becoming sticky and decaying over time. This particular machine still made a lot of clicking noises when you pushed the buttons, so I would much prefer if they used computer keyboard like hard physical buttons. That alone would extend the longevity of the product. Yes, I understand that the bit-rate aspect would likely become obsolete pretty quickly for live streaming, but for using as a mixing desk in a multi-camera shoot and outputting the signal to a recorder, it has a much longer life as a useable machine which I suspect would outlive those terrible rubberised buttons.
Great video, I wanted to know if the internal recording has iso files from each input or does it only record one main video feed?
Just one recording
Hello my friend, this is one of the most useful review i saw on this device. Thank you so much! I have just a question, since you probably got more confortable with this device, is it possible to store configurations on macro buttons?
I mean not recording any pressing on buttons but storing configurations of pip, keys and so on and change with the simple press of a button. Example, default config on button 1, pip configurations when i want to use pip, with custom positions on button 2, chroma settings on button 2 and so on. Thank you again!
The buttons are purely macros, they store a sequence of keypresses. So if you want to store a specific configuration of PIP or whatever, you have to record the sequence of keypresses to make that PIP how you want it; they don’t simply record window layouts howsoever you have them defined at that moment (as seen on some other switchers). Whilst the macro approach is arguably more flexible since you can use the buttons to store almost any sequence, I find it less useful than dedicated ‘layout’ storage buttons because macros are too finicky for me.
Awesome video. Can you have 4 outputs at the same time live? Quadrant style.
I think you can make this happen by using the supersource and the downstream key as I recall but it's a bit of a messy workaround rather than a proper way of doing it.
This video popped up and I thought it was "Crusing the Cut" for a moment. :D
🤣
I knew I heard the voice somewhere before, it wasn't until I seen his face that I said CRUSING THE CUT !!! Enjoyed the video...
😀😀
Thank you very much for the review. Back then, I ended up with the ATEM Mini Pro even though I really wanted the Mini Extreme for one feature only: Super Source. The Mini Pro doesn't have the Super Source feature, but this Osee device does, and that's enough for me to purchase it. Yes, the buttons have a strange marking, but as long as the function works, I don't care what it is called. Thanks again for sharing.
Edit: With so many customizations, is it possible to create presets?
Your reviews are just great, thank you for all this valuable information. I‘m currently using a Yolobox Pro in conjunction with an Atem Mini Pro ISO in order to have all video streams recorded and to being able to use differents recording quality settings than those of the low bandwith stream. The thing is that I would wish to get a device which would be something of a crossmerger between the Cinetreak Cinelive C1 you just reviewed and this Osee GoStream Deck. I like the video player feature of the GoStream a lot, but I need a PTZ controller like the Cinelive has one. Is there such a kind of device on the market in the budget sector?
Thanks for this comprehensive tutorial and review. I run video for a small church, and our old church succeeded with the ATEM Mini Pro. But I've been seeing complaints about no on/off switch, no headphone jack, and only 1 output.
It looks like this provides all of those and much more. Will probably go with this for my new church instead of ATEM Mini Pro.
Q: Do you know what the NDI license will cost?
Unfortunately I don't know at present. I'm hoping to get the NDI firmware when it's ready so I can do an update video, and hopefully I should get the price then too. I suspect it'll be set by whichever organisation owns the NDI tech spec rather than by Osee
A very very useful demo, Many Thanks
You are welcome!
I'm on the fence between this and a Atem mini Pro. Great video. 2 doubts that would convince me to go with the Osee over the Atem.
For shaping audio, I have a Zoom Podcaster, which I'm thinking I can solve the audio problem by mixing my audio sources there and bringing it in through one of the 2 Mic inputs on the Osee, right?
Second, does the Osee have a program record option? Like the Atem mini Pro has the USB-C where you can connect a drive and record your program there. For streaming it all looks great, but I would also like to record my program for later use.
again, great video!
Yes, it could handle that for your questions 1 and the SD card could record PGM absolutely for your question 2.
I own one, and paid for it.. Very excellent product. Documentation is... good.. could be a little more examples..
Every system I've ever used has Program on the right. Is Program on the left a British thing?
Haha nope, I switched it around ASAP
The PGM and PVW can be swapped in the menu >setting> mv layout. And then the PGM can be on the right.
Nice little device, I like the hardware fader. It should be able to handle at least 6Mb streaming for HD. Are preview and program interchangeable? Almost every mixer has the program output on the right side.
Yes, I showed that in the video
If you had to choose a switcher, would you choose this over the AVMatrix switcher you used to film the canal boats somewhere while back? This seems more powerful but the AVMatrix seems to have a much easier menu.
I think I would choose this as it’s more flexible (customisable in what inputs go to where etc) and it has built-in streaming so I wouldn’t need to take the laptop running OBS, though doing so does give you advantages such as additional graphics etc
it really looks like the Atem
Very nice bit of kit. I have one question tho: this model does iso recording or it records just the program?
One single recording which can be the program or any one of the inputs but not multiple inputs at a time
I am very new to video production. Currently I set up large boxing/UFC events with a lot of moving heads. The last event we got a few projectors and used the computer hdmi out and fed the projectors. It worked great. The question I have is can I use the output from this video switcher to a HDMI splitter and feed multiple projectors ? Or is something else needed? If so how or what is needed...Thanks
Yes it's a standard HDMI video out that you can feed to anything.
Great review! I wonder if one could use HDMI to USB-C capture card in between computer and switcher's USB-C input?
Interesting idea. I'd try it but I think my HDMI-USB is an old USB-A type
You can always use USB to USB-C adapter. The only requirement is HDMI to USB converter should be UVC compliant ( USB video device class). Cheers. @@TubeShooterMag
what a great review, thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
I am trying to set up a live streaming for a church. I see a lot of resources for combining ATEM and ProPresenter, bot not with this one. Does this work similar to and set up similar to ATEM for ProPresenter?
This is better than ATEM in this regard because you can take NDI out of the proprrsenter and introduce it to this device
So sorry for that it didn't support ProPresenter.
Please timestamps on description
Great review and walkthrough!
Thank you kindly!
Had a chance to get a Gostream to play around with and see if I can integrate into my productions.
ATEM Killer? Definitely not.
ATEM Challenger Definitely!
It is missing some must have features I am use to having with ATEM switchers.
If Ocee can find away to duplicate them, then it would be an ATEM killer.
Not available in my country.. but i hope it come soon.. this is way good compare to ATEM.
Tbh, ATEM mini pro only lacks (imo):
1. 2nd HDMI Output
2. SD Card for recording (but Osee went ahead with playback too!)
3. and also audio out.. but most monitor have jack.. can be forgiven.
4. Multi-stream! This is a god-send..
I wonder what more features it surpass the ATEM mini line.
I doubt Osee can be used with Companion app.. but if it can… that is super bonus..
There's no companion app for the Osee that I know of
@@TubeShooterMag give them a time :)
Could you say something about latency? How much delay is there between incoming and outgoing signal? Fast enough to do gaming using OUT 1 to play the game?
Current latency on the OUT 1 is about one frame because there's frame synchronizer/deinterlacer/scaler on all of the input.
Hello and good afternoon. Have you noticed any overheating issues or video sources becoming choppy and laggy after extended use? I had this feature with the atem mini, and the feelworld l2pro. Im seriously considering selling that for this. Cheers for this fantastic video review
I haven’t used it for sufficient length of time to encounter any problems - the demo in this video was the longest I’ve run it and it was OK but it certainly does get quite warm underneath.
I ordered from amazon an adjustable angle two fan cooler for a small laptop/tablet that should work
The more it does the smaller it looks. If you have big hands you're going to get cramps in your hand. (It's really small.) If it gets that hot streaming low bitrates it might cook itself to death if it pushes data any faster. NOTHING wrong with the manufacturer adding a few fans and a big heat sink. In fact it would give the user more confidence running it full-bore for a whole broadcast day. The switcher blowing up would ruin your whole day. Balanced audio would be nice too. SDI instead of HDMI as well. It's much less consequential to go to HDMI from SDI. Simple active adapters work very well.
I think the last two things would turn it into a physically bigger and rather more expensive product, defeating the object if its existence.
In what video format does the usb capture in obs in mjpg or in yuy2?
MJPEG, 1080P30. If you want a higher quality format, you can use HDMI output and an external capture card to achieve it. HDMI output to 1080P60, UVC output to 1080P30.
Thank you for this video... it helped a lot
Glad to hear that!
I just received my unit and updated the firmware. The main feature that I wanted to test was the NDI input. Unfortunately, I only see SD Card or USB Camera as the only selections. Thoughts?
Response from the manufacturer - The NDI function is not available at this moment. It is still under development and will be available by firmware update in the future.
Use something like web-presenter on the hdmi output port to get decent bitrate. Maybe the bitrate generates more CPU heat.
Yes or feed the USB output to a laptop and use OBS etc
If this can be controlled over a network then it would be really a contender for the BMD Atem Series.
Thanks for your good suggestions. We will take it into our consideration.
Great Video...does it record multiple files to SD card or 1 with all realtime camera switching..Thanks
Just the one file
Thanks for this excellent review, it helped me a lot. I have one problem, with the mic input options, mic has disappeared as an option, line and mic + power are still there though. How can this be fixed? It seems the mic option disappeared after i connected a mic to it, it was a takstar mic.
I can’t swear to it but I think mic+pwr won’t matter if you use a mic with inbuilt power so that is the sole mic level option.
@@TubeShooterMag Ok, mic+power is for a mic that has its own battery or power source , is that right? Thanks for all your help.
Strictly speaking it's for a mic that needs a small "plug in power" such as certain tiny lavalier mics or older small camera shotguns. But I don't believe (I think!!) that it would harm a mic that uses its own built-in supply to be plugged into the channel configured as "mic+pwr"
@@TubeShooterMag Thanks, I really appreciate your help.
Question on the SD card: does it record and playback clips at the same time to the SD? Is there a limit on the clip playback length and the format?
Can you write to SD through computer on the usbc? Can you Ftp to ss over network?
You can, I believe, record and play back simultaneously. Not sure about the other questions, sorry, but Osee are chipping in here with answers every so often.
Thanks. Good kit.... How does this compare with the Roland A/V V-1HD HD Video Switcher?
I haven't tested that one so can't sensibly comment, sorry
For the macros, can you get an editable file like the ATEM? If found that to be a godsend with more complicated macros.
Also is there any extra functionality with a computer?
No extra computer functions
The macros is a html format file that can be imported from or exported to the SD card. It can be edit by using a html edit tool
I want to a mixer like this that can record the video inputs, each input on a separate file? I want this function so that if at the end of my podcast I don't like the mixing, I can simply take each main file to Adobe Premiere pro and re-edit the videos.
That would be the Atem mini pro iso
I think its a great device would get it but I need the iso in atems to correct things in post. Otherwise this would be a killer mixer.
a question :
Is possible use cameras with different resolutions or frame rates? for example working with one source at 1080i50 and another at 1080i60. Thanks
I'm not sure, sorry, as all my cameras are the same frame rate and resolution
@@TubeShooterMag thanks
I wonder if there is an API so you can make a controller app to control it over the network.
Will the device accept input format from 720 and 1080 from two camera 1 and 2 the same time?
My major headache from BMD TV studio
It can accept different formats on different inputs include 720p50/60, 1080i50/60, 1080p24/25/30/50/60
Great review, I want to ask what the video output latency is like, can it be used for IMAG?
Unfortunately I have no idea what IMAG is 😳😳
@@TubeShooterMag Image magnification e.g for projectors or big screens in churches etc. If there's too much latency the image delay will be obvious to viewers in churches
The latency from any input to PGM output is about 1 frame
Are the sizes and locations of the MultiView changeable?
I only need 6 boxes and want the menu and sound bar larger.
No, only the PGM and PVW windows can be swapped but none of the sizes and other locations
When recording do it record the change of angles like the atem mini pro or it’s separate clips?
It does not record each camera input separately, there is just a single recording.
Does this switcher have built on scalers like the Atem mini? In other words could I connect different cameras/ computers (sources) and it scales it out to a dedicated frame rate automatically?
Not just that but the hdmi on the atem has a very particular way of handling hdmi negotiation so it’s nearly instant and stable connection
how does the output HDMI (mixed video) is recorded? on a SD card on the unit?
Yes you can record to the SD card
@@TubeShooterMag is there a 4K version available ?
No one tells you how to set this up. I bought it and I have no idea how to set it up. Where can I get that video?
I'm unclear what you're unsure about.

Gostream to pc via USB 1 - then Open OBS and create a Video Capture Dev - I'm seeing the GoStream option but when I click okay. the display is just Black. What am I missing?
can you please Help me with this?
I’m no expert at OBS but there are various settings for each capture device, so maybe tinker with those (eg resolution and frame rate). Is it actually a PC or a Mac (the prior MacOS version has a bug with seeing streaming inputs)
@@TubeShooterMag thank you for your quick response. Really appreciate it. Let me ask you one more question which I wasn't able to find it in your video. What about the headset. Once its connected, I cannot hear whats being recording. Is there any key that needs to be turn on? 🤔
That's odd. As I recall (and I'm writing this without the device in front of me so apologies for any error), there is a headphone volume either in the audio mixer or in the main settings. I do recall seeing it because it was able to drive my headphones very loudly!
Can i use this in tiktok😊
This is good, but @ $295, I'll go ahead a get the ATEM Mini Pro.
I'll sell you mine
but double the HDMI and UBS out though...
Hey all!
I recently got the deck and after successfully connecting my sony fx3 to the osee deck via an HDMI cable the first time around, now it doesn't register on the switcher. Wondering if anyone else has had this issue, and if so, what's the solve was?
Check the cable, in case something’s broken inside it. Check the camera is set to 1080p output not 4K.
I'm not seeing audio levels? I have a source plugged into mic 1 but not seeing levels.
Have you turned that audio channel on, using the buttons or the Settings / Menu control knob? It will be off by default.
What files formats does it playback, record, still store etc......
There is no listing in the menu for the headphones, how is that port turned on. I get no sound when I plug in my headphones.

does this do auto switch programming
While I want to love this, it is also lacking for what I have been using my ATEM Pro for.
So let me get this straight, when it records to the card, it can record all 4 cameras separately while recording the cut version?
No, it records a single feed
@@TubeShooterMag Is a pity, I will stay with the atem then, I was very interested in 4 cameras record too :D
I’ve always thought the atems were seriously overpriced. This thing looks it forms everything my Atem does for a quarter of the price
Hello sir. I found some trouble on my osee, when my osee want to connect to monitor, the monitor can't display my osee. Do you know the solution. (i used monitor display from LG 22,5 inch)
The default setting for the Osee output is something like 30Hz I think (check in the manual) so the monitor has to be able to display the default refresh rate at a minimum (after which, once you can see the output, you can change it in the menus)
@@TubeShooterMag thx sir.
Where is your headset? I bought the GoStream over the ATEM Pro because of the "Phone Port". If I cannot get it to work I will return it.
Unclear what you mean by "where is your headset". There is a headphone jack on the back of the unit.
Thanks for the reply @@TubeShooterMag I can put a jack on my desk but it won't work there either.
That was the first thing that did not work on my GoStream.
This is NO ATEM killer but a Chinese Knock Off. I had the GoStream running on top of a laptop/tablet fan for a combined 5 or so hours. I also wasted several days researching this unit.
Second thing was I could not stream to Castr because there is no underscore in the keyboard.
Third was the monitor went black. Then shortly after that the second monitor went black.
Now it is in the box waiting to return to Amazon. I wish I could have gotten the GoStream to work properly but need a computer to monitor my Stream anyway and (HDMI audio extractor and USB-C HeadPhone jack adapter) HeadSet solutions are on the way.
I then got the ATEM Pro. It is a much more solid piece of machinery at the same price. I had it streaming in less than 1 hour.
I'm none the wiser as to what your actual issue with the headphone socket was but it sounds simply that you had a defective unit.
@@TubeShooterMag So glad I returned the Chinese KnockOff after every other other thing crapped out.and now use the superior ATEM Pro with no problems at all with software control and camera control.
The headset problem can be solved with an HDMI Audio Extractor.
