Introduction
Meet Al Abarca, the Library Media Tech at an elementary school in Southern California. Check out the live events right here on this channel.
Al’s students, who are in 3rd to 5th grade, run a news broadcast three days a week. They are trained on sound, camera graphics, and, of course, video switching. The equipment they use for this is the YoloBox Ultra. They are not only learning valuable skills but also delivering high-quality productions that impress their audience.
Discovering YoloLiv
Al’s journey with YoloLiv began a couple of years ago when the school needed to switch from a different broadcasting system. They discovered the YoloBox Pro and were attracted by its user-friendly operating system. When the YoloBox Ultra was released, Al recognized the potential to enhance the students’ learning experience and improve their production quality.
The students adapted to the system quickly, and viewers were amazed by the production value the students delivered, thanks in part to YoloBox Ultra.

- YoloBox Ultra: Connected via Ethernet, integrating two Lumix cameras, a graphics computer through HDMI, and a webcam through USB.
