Introduction
Meet Doug Kaplan, the owner of DAK Media Productions / Live Stream Entertainment, based in sunny Florida. With a passion for live streaming that dates back to 2013, Doug has specialized in broadcasting a variety of events, including weddings, corporate functions, and notably, funerals. His impressive arsenal includes YoloBox Pro and YoloBox Ultra, along with other essential equipment that enhances his production workflow.
Discovering YoloLiv
Doug’s journey with YoloLiv began in 2020 when he searched for a way to upgrade his funeral live-streaming setup for gravesite services. At that time, he needed a portable and reliable system that could handle outdoor conditions. That’s when he found the original YoloBox. It fit his needs perfectly, eliminating the need for bulky equipment and allowing him to work smoothly in remote locations.
“When I first encountered YoloBox, it felt like a breath of fresh air. At the time, my workflow was bogged down by bulky equipment and complex setups. YoloBox provided an all-in-one solution that simplified my operations while delivering professional-quality results. My initial impression was amazement at its portability and functionality, it was exactly what I needed to elevate my services.”
One of the challenges Doug faced early in his career was unreliable internet at outdoor events. However, YoloBox’s network bonding technology revolutionized his approach to streaming. This innovative feature allowed him to combine multiple connections, resulting in a stable and uninterrupted broadcast. Whether he was using hardwired Ethernet, built-in 4G LTE, a mobile hotspot, or a USB modem, Doug could now confidently stream from almost any location.
A notable example of YoloBox’s reliability occurred during a corporate event where internet connectivity was extremely limited. Doug utilized his YoloBox Pro, along with PTZ cameras and bonded network connections, to deliver a flawless stream that greatly satisfied the client.
