Yololiv Yolox is an integrated all in one system encoder.
It comes
with a bright 7 inch Android Monitor, it is a Video Switcher, a streaming
encoder and a Recorder.
The device supports 2 x HDMI , 1 x USB, and a
3.5mm Audio Jack input.
Added to the above input, you can also program
out your Pre-recorded Video from your SD card via its SD slot and one more
from another Yolobox Live stream, thus making it to a total of 5 video
Source inputs.
The built-in battery support closed to a 3 hours
continuous operation, of course, it can be AC powered or add on your
external Power bank to support even longer operation
There are 3 ways
that it can be connected to the internet, Wifi, Ethernet, or your own 4G LTE
network SIM card
For Live streaming, its supports 3 live streaming
simultaneously to any mix of 3 streaming platform ,eg Facebook, Your-tube ,
Twitch and its support RTMP too.
The Yolobox also support the common
Transition effect and PIP in addition to its 3 layers, ie Logo, Subtitle ,
Running text, and Scoreboard ( for sports events)
For Cameras choice,
Yolobox supports virtually all cameras with HDMI output up to 1080P.
Video mixers are some sought-after software and hardware tools that allow
users to mix videos and add some effects to them. While software tools like
vMix, Telestream Wirecast, and OBS (Open Broadcast Software), the hardware
tools are LivePro L1, YoloBox Pro, etc. But, YoloBox Pro are the perfect fit
compared to software tools like OBS.
YoloBox is a studio device used
for HD live streaming. Regarded as the most portable and convenient device
to use, there are no unique tactics required to use the touchscreen device.
It has exciting features such as encoding, recording, switching, and
monitoring. And one thing that makes it unique is that you can stream
simultaneously to 3 different digital platforms. YoloBox & YoloBox Pro both
supports the feature of multi-cam live streaming through custom RTMP.
Essential Features That Make YoloBox Stand Out
* It enables you to
create layers like titles and overlays whereby you can run your video mixing
by tapping the touchscreen interface.
* YoloBox can encode an outbound
system onboard, so, you can stream with the internet, WiFi, or a 4G LTE Sim
card.
* It enables you to record Output stream into an SD card through
the SDI slot without any hiccup.
* YoloBox equally allows you to split
the screen while you record and then customize the size of your video record
the way you want it.
* The device has dual audio inputs, which allow you
to add external Audio source via its 3.5mm input in additional to audio
sources embedded in the HDMI video
* You can add logos, watermarks,
rolling captions and etc, which is the important to make presentation
professional.
* And most significantly, it's portable to use and
affordable as well.
Similar to YoloBox, OBS Studio is commonly used
for video recording, live streaming and visual mixing. But unlike YoloBox,
OBS is an open-air tool for live streaming. It enables you to stream videos
via your computer device to social media streaming platforms like Facebook,
YouTube, Hitbox, and Twitch. You can configure it on all Windows, Linux, and
Mac OS devices.
Much has been emphasized between YoloBox and OBS
before, which is better for live streaming. But the fact remains that
YoloBox /Pro will stay the best and most affordable compared to OBS.
10 Reasons of choosing YoloBox over OBS Studio!
1. OBS always makes
it a little more complex for some users because you'll require a computer
and know how to tune-up, which can be pretty confusing. But YoloBox is
simple to use because all you need is the intelligent Touchscreen control,
and you're good to go.
2. If you're a new user, it'll be pretty
tricky for you to set up your OBS studio via the computer because the
instructions are complex and can't be easily understood.
3. It
requires users to use third-party software for their recordings, which you
can't see in YoloBox.
4. If you still want to edit your record on
OBS, you still need to use other third-party software to do that, unlike
YoloBox.
5. While using OBS, you can't be able to create a playlist
of your contents, thereby requiring you to select a preview before switching
to live.
6. It can be frustrating when you figure out that you can't
store your media files, meaning that if you move them to a different folder
on your PC, it might turn out to be an error prompting you to upload the
files again.
7. OBS does not have a default lower thirds plugin,
meaning that it only requires other third-party integration, which can crash
sometimes, or, better still, might not work.
8. It doesn't broadcast
simultaneously with several resources, and it's incompatible with Windows
XP.
9. Given that it requires a PC before it can work, you have to
bear in mind that it chunks up a lot of memory space which might cause the
system to crash if it can't carry the load again.
10. It might get
to a point where the software will sometimes freeze over and crash, which
will require you to start all over again with the installation and settings.
YoloBox Pro works with Zoom and it is quite simple as well. For
Yolobox pro you need to connect directly to your computer USB input from
Yoloboxpro type c USB output . While for yolobox You will need to have HDMI
/USB Capture card . The USB input to the computer will appear as the source
of camera ( Just like a external web cam ) on Zoom. At the screen of every
attendee, YoloBox's output program will reflect in the computer screen.
In additional, the greatest benefit of using YOLO Box is their superb speed.
The incredible fast speed can easily process 45 frames every second. Yolobox
recognizes the generalized representation of object. It features HDMI out,
allowing you to display the live stream locally on the HDMI device. added to
that, it has line-level audio input with headphone audio out too. With this,
you will also record the stream in mp4 format to the SD card.

YoloBox FAQ's
1) Video: How to get RTMP
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dBYCCc2g3EU&t=13s
2) How to
get stream from the other Yolobox which is located elsewhere
Tips:
- Login to both Yolobox with the same account.
- Create two streaming.
- Start one streaming, no need to send the
streaming to any destination
- Ensure the first streaming becomes stable
before proceeding (the kbps, fps dots turn green)
- Select "live stream"
as another video source from the second Yolobox, from there you can capture
one external "live stream" from a remote location.
3)
Microphone does not work?
Audio-In port is intended for Mixers
and Lavalier Microphones (therefore it will not work with those which are
not battery-wired or self-powered)
4) 4G Sim-Card does not
work? Block the second HDMI-In?
In some regions, you can just
insert a 4G sim card to YoloBox then you will have 4G internet connection.
However, in the regions that we are not certain, we provide an external
dongle/modem in the package (some of our competitors charges $200 for this).
In this case, you will need to insert the Sim-Card into the dongle/modem
correctly first, then you will need to insert the dongle/modem into the USB
port. To prevent from blocking the HDMI, we provide an L shape adapter in
the package.
Tested in major countries and major carriers that all
have worked. So far, the majority of the issues reported are due to the
mis-operation by customers on certain procedures, or the wrong YoloBox
setting.
Tips:
- Make sure data plan includes call time and texts,
not just internet traffic.
- Insert correctly.
- Under "Settings" turn
off Wi-Fi or Reset network connection.
5) Can I adjust the
Bitrate?
Yolobox currently use a VBR approach for bitrate which
will automatically adjust accordingly. Theoretically there is no limit.
However, its best to stream under 10,000 kbps. Yolobox is also adding an
option for the bitrate setting soon.
For more, please visit
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variable_bitrate
6) Stream
recorded in separated 10-minute clips
Like a lot of cameras, it
will stop recording after a certain amount of time. YoloBox applies the same
product logic to prevent damage of the video and protect your content if
anything occurs. Yolobox will add an option for recording continuously
without the 10 minute separation via a software update.
7)
How can I Output a clean HDMI video?
There is a HDMI
"Loop-Through option at the bottom of the streaming page for clean HDMI
output.
8) Unable to detect pictures and videos from an SD
card?
Please make sure the SD card is in FAT 32 format and
pictures are PNG format.
9) How to connect YoloBox with
GoPro/iPhone/PC?
GoPro: Please connect with HDMI (Micro to
Standard) and make sure you have the right setting on GoPro Output (Choose
Live in Preference/Output)
For iPhone: You will need an USB-C converter
to HDMI. (iPhone as a mirror display, not just camera capture)
For PC:
You will need a HDMI (Output to HDMI-In) to Yolobox with HDMI-In.
10) Unable to update software?
Normally it will take one
to two minutes for the software update. Please ensure that you have a
working internet. Try switching to Ethernet/WiFI/4G/Hotspot if your update
is not progressing as it supposed to. Also, try restarting the device. Most
importantly, do make sure the internet connection is stable.

Before streaming
to Facebook Group, you will need a certain setting on that group to make it
right.

If you wish to understand better for this product
you may get it from this link below.
https://www.expandore.sg/product/yolobox-live-stream-studio/
Over here I wish to highlight one of its Unique feature and special
application of this device
Extended Features and application
It is a Known fact that Wireless video transmission require line of Sight to
get the signal transmitted , regardless of the specified distance it can
transmit.
The common transmission devices used are capable to
transmit a wireless distance in between 60-400m. While for Broadcast/
Professional application may require a longer wireless transmission system
for up to 1-2 km with or without repeater in between.
Needless to say
these equipment are costly with price range from USD 5k to 40k.
Whatever the wireless system may be employed, they system advocate and
support strictly with on line of sight between TX and RX.
However if
you ever encountered the following situations, your wireless video system
become helpless.
1. Transmit the video signal beyond its specification
e.g. 20km or more distance away.
2. Transmit at great height e.g. studio
located at 40th floor while the scene is at the lower floor for e.g. ground
floor.
Even it can be cabled via SDI, it will be more than 100m which
stretches the limit of a SDI cable and it is unlikely you will lay a
temporary fibre cable from ground to 40th floor.
3. Or when the scene and
the control room are separated by several walls. Laying temporary cable is
out of your options. Wireless signal are blocked by the wall in between
All the above scenarios have one of the following specific requirement
1. Transmit at very long distance beyond the wireless transmission system's
capability or need expensive equipment to support
2. Completely with no
line of sight for wireless video system to operate.
If for some reasons
you are required to meet the above challenges and the imposed requirement
insist to view the Video remotely, what would you do??
When this is
case, just remember Yolobox may save you and it might be the only solution
for you!!
This is definitely possible by exploring YOLO box Live
Stream function. Nonetheless, before moving forward, you have to accept the
following 3 conditions / constraint
1. Both the TX and RX location
must provide with internet Wi-Fi connection, either Via Cable, Hotspot or
direct SIM card (4G).
2. Video Latency at the receiving end is inherent,
between 2 -5 sec depending on the internet speed available to you.
3.
Video image is of Streaming quality vs Compressed or uncompressed wireless
video quality by wireless Transmission system.
Let's move on if the
above constraint is acceptable.
How to Do it then
1. You will need 2 x Yolo boxes.
2. Get both devices connected to Wi-Fi
at its location
3. Log in all devices under the same account
4. Over
the scene site - Connect the Cameras via HDMI /(USB with Capture card ) as
input source and press start button
5. Over the studio/receiving end -
Just go to Live stream page to select the source and view it on your screen
or you may output it to external larger screen Via HDMI out.
6. With the
above configuration you are now ready to view the remote video stream
comfortably at your studio.
Q and A - and Meet us in our
store for the live demo
Q: Isn't it a streaming? from
one to another?
A. Absolutely right, the key thing here is,
there is no need to use computer on both sides and no RTMP platform is
required (e.g. FB or U-tube & etc. ) to perform the task. It is streaming from
one Yolobox to another With Direct cable Wi-Fi connection the Latency is
minimized
Q: Is there any string attached to this solution?
What other devices are needed?
A: No, no computer is required,
No need paid-cloud to be involved, just 2 pcs of working Yoloboxes connected
to internet Wi-Fi.
Q: Can it be done when Internet Wi-Fi is
not available?
A : No, You need an internet Wi-Fi connection as
mentioned
Q: Besides video, can I transmit my computer's
content
A: As long as your computer can be connected by HDMI to
the Yolobox , it can be done.
Q: How much is this solution as
compared to a Professional Wireless Video Transmission
A: If you
can afford to buy a wireless Video Transmission that is capable of
transmitting over a distance 600m, 2 x Yolobox are still cheaper. Remember
that Yolo box is a Monitor, Switcher and Streaming devices.
Q: Will your live stream carry audio also
A: Yes the audio is
embedded on HDMI together with video stream.
Q: What is the
Minimum Internet Speed to achieve Livestream and Streaming
A:
Our recommendation is to have Min 5Mbps on upload speed and if you using SIM
card we strongly recommend to use 4G SIMS Card
Q: Can the
Latency be improved for less than 3 Sec
A: It can be achieved if
you have internet speed for more than 45Mbps on upload speed, and if
situation allows, please use Ethernet cable instead of Wireless Wi-Fi.
Q: How can I check my internet speed
A: You can do a
Google search with search key words of "internet speed" - there is a web
site to test or you may use a app named "Internet speed check", if you are
using your phone to provide Mobile Hotspot and Tethering to the Yolobox.
Q: Which option is the best for Wi-Fi connection, wired or
wireless?
A: Most preferred - connect via Internet cable,
followed by 4G SIMS card, then Hotspot, as they are in order of faster
internet speed.
To understand the product better please make an
appointment with us to visit us at our store for a live demo.
The Shortfall of Yolobox
1. It accepts Video input via
HDMI and USB3 only - It does not have SDI Connection
2. No Chroma keyer.
3. Require internet connection to operate |
