Are you ready to take your live streaming game to the next level? Look no further than the YoloBox Ultra, the latest model from YoloLiv. Packed with a host of new features, this device is a game-changer live streaming solution for sports, worship, weddings, funerals, events, education, entertainment, and videographers. Let’s dive into the exciting enhancements that make the YoloBox Ultra a must-have tool for anyone in the streaming world.
Hardware
First and foremost, let’s talk about hardware. The YoloBox Ultra boasts some impressive physical upgrades. With four HDMI inputs, you now have the flexibility to connect four cameras simultaneously. Alternatively, you can connect two cameras, a laptop, and an iPad, thanks to the multiple HDMI sources supported. Additionally, the device features two USB-A ports and a USB-C port, providing expanded connectivity options. The YoloBox Ultra also retains the line and mic inputs, headphone jack, USB-C charging port, LTE SIM compatibility, SD card slot, power button, and a quarter twenty mount thread for easy tripod attachment.
CPU Upgrade
Moving on to the internal components, the YoloBox Ultra takes a gigantic leap forward with its CPU. Equipped with the Qualcomm 865 CPU, it delivers a substantial performance boost compared to its predecessor, the YoloBox Pro, which housed the 660 CPU. This upgrade translates to smoother and more efficient live streaming experiences. The device’s specifications, ranging from 8 gigs of RAM to 128 gigabytes of ROM, make it a powerhouse capable of handling demanding streaming tasks with ease.
Software Features
1. Horizontal & Vertical Streaming in Once Device
When it comes to software features, the YoloBox Ultra doesn’t disappoint. One notable addition is vertical streaming. You now have the option to switch between horizontal and vertical modes, catering to platforms like Instagram and TikTok. With overlays, graphics, countdown timers, and the ability to switch camera angles, your vertical live streams will be more engaging than ever before.
2. App Store (Vertical Mode Only)
Another exciting development is the introduction of an app store. The YoloBox Ultra allows you to load additional apps beyond the pre-installed ones, expanding your streaming possibilities and enabling support for even more platforms. This newfound flexibility grants you the freedom to customize your streaming experience to suit your unique requirements.
3. 4K Inputs & Streaming
Another massive upgrade from the YoloBox Pro is that this now actually supports 4K inputs. While most cameras may still be connected at 1080 resolution, the ability to incorporate 4K signals offers a future-proofing advantage. Mix and match different resolutions seamlessly without worrying about compatibility issues.
4. H.265 Encoding
Furthermore, the device now supports encoding in H.265, a highly efficient video compression format that preserves quality while significantly reducing file sizes. This feature proves invaluable for content creators who want to streamline their editing and sharing processes.
5. SRT Streaming
Streaming via SRT (Secure Reliable Transport) is another groundbreaking addition. In addition to RTMP (Real-Time Messaging Protocol), the YoloBox Ultra allows you to add an SRT source, expanding your streaming options and ensuring a secure and reliable connection.
6. ISO Recording
One of the most highly anticipated features of the YoloBox Ultra is ISO recording. This functionality lets you record each camera angle separately, in addition to the main program feed. With the ability to configure recording options and choose resolutions, frame rates, and encoding formats, you have complete control over your recording setup. Say goodbye to limited recording capabilities and enjoy the flexibility of capturing every aspect of your live stream.
7. NDI Support
The YoloBox Ultra also takes a step forward in terms of connectivity with the inclusion of NDI (Network Device Interface) support. Although still in beta, this feature allows you to add NDI sources, enabling wireless camera connections and further expanding your streaming possibilities.
8. Audio Mixing (No Limits At All)
The device addresses user feedback and improves upon the previous version’s limitations. The YoloBox Ultra now supports USB audio inputs, allowing you to connect USB microphones and mix audio from HDMI and USB sources. This enhancement provides greater flexibility and convenience when working with audio during live streams.
9. Other Great Features on YoloBox Pro
Of course, all the beloved features of the YoloBox Pro are still present in the YoloBox Ultra. This includes graphic overlays, network bonding, guest invitations, scoreboard integration, auto-switching cameras, and the ability to display comments from various platforms. Additionally, the device can be switched into vertical mode, catering to your preferred streaming orientation.
In conclusion, the YoloBox Ultra is a true powerhouse, combining top-notch hardware upgrades with innovative software features. Whether you’re a professional content creator or an aspiring live streamer, this device will revolutionize the way you engage with your audience. So, if you’re ready to take your live streaming to the next level, the YoloBox Ultra is waiting to become your ultimate streaming companion.
As always, thank you for your support, and happy streaming!
