Now NDI is available on the YoloBox Ultra. You can connect multiple NDI sources to the YoloBox Ultra. But there's several other things to consider: how to control your cameras? What type of network do I need between the devices? How do I manage audio? What does it cost?
I explain all of this in today's video.

You'd need to activate the NDI license, and for that you need to use the Obsbot app.

Great video! I just got my confirmation that Yolo authorized my Ultra. I have a question. I currently have 4 mevo cams but thinking about going to 4k for my youtube channel. Does the Obsbot tail support 4k and compared to the mevo is the quality better? Also why the limits of 3 NDI on the Ultra?

You'd have to ask Yolo about the NDI limits. The Tail Air does 4K. The Mevo Start does not.

@StreamTeknology 25 күн бұрын

I would reach out and check with them as to whether you can access local cameras over the local network, while you are also telling the box to use cellular as the network for the internet connection. There seems to be some discrepancy in their literature with regards to that.

I have a yolo box ultra and obsbot tailair 4k. My question is I need to buy NDI license from both companies differently. Yolobox and obsbot Thanks

@StreamTeknology Ай бұрын

You purchase an NDI license to activate it on that device. So each camera, and the YoloBox each need their own license activated. Once activated, that license turns everything on - so all three inputs and the output are activated with the YoloBox license.

@BabyBoomer1959 5 ай бұрын

Did you have to pay ndi license for both the yolo box and the Obsbot tail air, or just the yolo? Thanks

@StreamTeknology 5 ай бұрын

The Yolobox and the OBSBOT both require the purchase of a separate NDI license, which is fairly common in the industry. Mevo Start cameras include the NDI license with the purchase of the camera.

@StreamTeknology Ай бұрын

You don't have an NDI license - the DEVICE has a license to activate NDI. If you buy a YoloBox Ultra, OBSBOT Tail Air, other professional PTZ capable of NDI, you pay for the license to activate it for that Device. That's what the NDI licensing group requires. If you buy three OBSBOT Tail Air cameras, and want to activate NDI, you need to buy 3 licenses- one for each camera. Activating the license on the Ultra activates all the NDI capability - multiple NDIcamera inputs and NDI program out. If you don't need or use NDI then you don't have to pay for a license you won't be using..

@eye1dry138 4 күн бұрын

Am I correct in assuming that using NDI from 2 cameras on a portable router would be a bad idea? Would using hdmi transmitters be a superior option?

@StreamTeknology 3 күн бұрын

I don't think most portable hotspot / routers are designed for a lot of in and out traffic. They are mostly designed to deliver data form the internet, or to the internet. I just published a new video on 7 tips for Mobile Multicam Success. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/f8mhmNRe27vGaZ8.html

@karlc5976 4 ай бұрын

Great overview but I am curious if you can also confirm that on you YBU does the network you connect the NDI cameras on need to have a connection to the internet? I believe the is a bug in the license check which needs internet to complete other wise you can see the cameras listed and add them from the network but if there is no internet the picture never comes up... I just get a blue shutter icon.... Very frustrating esp when trying to use monitor mode. If the router has internet they load just fine. Also does not matter if I have a sim in the YBU, the router the cameras connect is what has to have it.

@StreamTeknology 4 ай бұрын

Two things - to "activate" you license, the device needs to be connected to the internet, this was also the case for Panasonic camcorders I had to activate years ago. Once activated, NDI devices do not need a connection to the internet to be available to other devices locally. Your LAN does not need an internet connection at all.

@karlc5976 4 ай бұрын

@@StreamTeknologySo in testing a mevo and a tail air since the mevo is exhibiting the same behavior it should not be an activation issue. Also replacing the YBU with a laptop on the same private network I can load the NDI camera into OBS while the YBU only shows the aperture icons. So if you can test I would love to know if it is my YBU or a issue across them all.

You answered someone that you can connect multiple Mevos to it through NDI, but does that mean you need a tablet or phone for each using the Mevo app or does the box just pick up three separate NDI sources from all cameras or can you use Mevo Multicam app?

@@StreamTeknology fantastic! That's the first step I need to know since I run three Mevos at hockey rinks. There is no charge for using NDI with three? Also are they still charging to use network bonding? I saw prices on another video and it's outrageous what they charge for that!

@StreamTeknology 4 ай бұрын

@@sibertiger17 AFAIK, the Mevo Starts still include NDI without a separate charge. The YoloBox requires a single activation for NDI on the device, it doesn't matter how many cameras are used. I didn't feel the bonding prices are out of line. You can compare bonding prices with Teradek Core and LiveU and I think you'll come to a similar conclusion - remember to also factor in the cost of their hardware required to leverage their bonding service.

@@EastCoastCamping you can add a logo or text overlay and they just leave it on overtop of the auto switch. If you want audio coming from you the entire time, you can bring audio in from a wireless mic. If you want audio to keep changing every time the camera changes, you can turn on AFV.

@StreamTeknology 3 ай бұрын

I understand, but also know that there's a huge portion of the user base for these products who will never use that option. So Yolo, and OBSBOT are doing exactly what Canon, Sony, Panasonic, JVC, Marshall and many others have done for many years - make a product that is capable, but, not force everyone to pay the extra fee for the NDI license, by making it an optional upgrade. So the 70% of the people who aren't using NDI aren't forced to pay, potentially HUNDREDS of dollars extra, for a license they will never use. And to be clear, the NDI license goes to the NDI group to activate the capability in the hardware, just like it does for Canon, Sony, Panasonic, JVC, Marshall - you buy those licenses separately, like through B&H.
