Look Ma - NO WIRES! - Get NDI Cameras on your YoloBox Ultra!

[@findbradford]

can you do this with new ndi upgrade from atoms and there caster

[@StreamTeknology]

I believe the Atomos NDI capability is primarily converting one input to NDI output. Not multiple NDI inputs.

[@mihailustin]

Tell me, is it possible to connect an audio card to it via type-c?

[@StreamTeknology]

Good question, I haven't tried audio only.

[@rickgodley1018]

My set up is a Predator computer, I use VMix, and a Rodecaster. Would the toolbox ultra do it all? When I can reduce my equipment and still have the same quality?

[@anthonyburokas7930]

Each of those items has advantages over a YoloBox, and a YoloBox has advantages over your current setup. You can indeed reduce your equipment load, but yoru current setup is more powerful and more flexible. Take, for instance the roadcaster- it has audio limiters and processing that the Yolobox does not have. So if you're looking for a nice pfat punch podcast sound, you're still gonna need the Rodecaster. Etc.

[@rickgodley1018]

@@anthonyburokas7930 Thanks so much for your feedback and encouragment. Have you done a vid on how to get the proper settings on both the Rohdecaster and the Rhode wireless go's? My learning curve of 2 years has improved, but I still make my mistakes for lack of unerstanding. Thank you once again.

[@StreamTeknology]

I have not had Rode provide a Rodecaster for review yet. And I can't afford to buy every gadget out there, so I reply on the manufacturers to provide review units so I can get my hands on them for 30 days or so.

[@GR33N_MOJO]

Awesome video , do I have a question do you have to have a tablet in order to run the osbot through ndi to the yolo box ultra ? For example ; open the osbot camera out the box and hooking it up to the ultra

[@StreamTeknology]

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

[@HigherCooking]

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?

[@StreamTeknology]

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

[@adrianabshire]

Great video - do you have one for the OBSBOT, NDI, ATEM Mini and Stream Deck? We have all these and I’m trying to figure out the BEST way to connect these all together…

[@StreamTeknology]

The "best" way is different for every user. I do consulting to help work that out. Http://Stream4.us

[@karlc5976]

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]

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]

@@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.

[@StreamTeknology]

@@karlc5976 I can't test the issue with your private network, YoloBox, Tail Air, Mevo, and OBS and diagnose your problem remotely.

[@karlc5976]

@@StreamTeknologySorry Im not trying to say MY private network... I mean setup a router with no wan connection (ie a private network) and put a ndi camera on it with your YBU... Router will give the camera and YBU ips via dhcp so they can all communicate. In theory the camera should come up just fine, but mine can't on the YBU... when I put a laptop with OBS on it comes up fine.

[@StreamTeknology]

@@karlc5976 Very odd as it's worked flawlessly for me, even when just in demo mode limited to 5 minutes. Even in "monitor mode" on the YoloBox.

[@idjmic]

Great explanation video! I wish I had know the quality of the video on a cropped or zoomed image, as it isn’t very good quality. On the OBSBot Tail Air.

[@IEBAcommunications]

They're very similar, both being fixed focal length wide angle cameras. But that's a very good idea for a future video - thanks!

[@idjmic]

How are you enjoying the Ultra as for its price point vs the Pro? Do you think NDI will come to the Pro?

[@IEBAcommunications]

@@idjmic Frank has said it's on the list for the Pro.

[@idjmic]

@@IEBAcommunications I saw that, that is good! I figured it wouldn’t have the specs to do NDI. Happy to hear, that might keep some from feeling like they need to upgrade.

[@yohannsphotographyvideogra9542]

I have to ndi licensee one with atomos and one with my iPhone Do i need to pay yololive more for licenses i already have ?

[@StreamTeknology]

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..

[@NOWFAITHBR]

Hello I have yolo pro and what can I use to get a 4k camrea to work adapter I can use would connect sometimes but other time wont

[@StreamTeknology]

The Pro doesn't do 4K.

[@garrysingh6382]

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]

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.

[@DanisKool]

Would i have to purchase the "network bonding" feature if i have my ndi sourced and yolobox on the wireless network, while i stream via the cellular?

[@StreamTeknology]

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.

[@NoelDelPilar]

Hi my friend! That means that I need to activate the YoloBox Ultra NDI and also the other licenses for each camera?

[@StreamTeknology]

Yes, One license per device, each camera is a device.

[@maldonadooficial2023]

Ola,parabéns pelo conteúdo.Comprei uma Yolobox Ultra e estou interessado em trabalhar ela com as câmeras MEvo.Ve se pode me ajudar com essas dúvidas.Eu consigo conectar as 3 cameras separadas?O roteador que eu for usar precisa ter conexão com Internet?A licença Ndi pelo que você disse ja vem inclusa nas cameras mevo,porém eu preciso pagar na yolobox pro?Muito Obrigado

[@StreamTeknology]

Unfortunately KZbin doesn't translate comments to English for me.

[@michaeld4502]

Can the YOLObox Pro do NDI?

[@StreamTeknology]

One input now.

[@sibertiger17]

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]

That's a good question, I haven't tried it with the Mevo Multicam app. It's certainly something to try for a future video.

[@sibertiger17]

@@StreamTeknology great but does it take 3 Mevos just through NDI without needing a tablet for each?

[@StreamTeknology]

@@sibertiger17 Yes. The tablets just let you reframe and adjust the camera settings. Once they're set, you can use one tablet to switch between cameras, or not use the tablet at all.

[@sibertiger17]

@@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]

@@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.

Quick question how do you get audio from multiple cameras connected to the ultra ? I want to buy one for my channel and have about 5 cameras to use , I am just unsure of how to get synced audio from all of them to the yolobox or if there’s something I am missing

[@StreamTeknology]

Why do you need 10 channels of audio? from 5 separate locations?

[@EastCoastCamping]

@@StreamTeknology I def don’t need 10 channels . I didn’t know that I can use one wireless mic on its own connected to the yokobox directly vs getting a mic connected to a seperate mixer .

[@StreamTeknology]

@@EastCoastCamping It's nice to know it has the processing overhead to DO 10 cameras, though. :) And yes, there's an analog mic input, analogue line input, and you can feed the audio into one of the cameras, which is what I do. I have multiple cameras, but only turn on the audio from camera 1, which is the camera my microphone is connected.

[@EastCoastCamping]

@@StreamTeknology my concern is when I am on a camping site , I will probably have multiple cameras rolling that I will be switching from , and if there is no audio other then the 1 camera then il have a problem , which is basically what I was trying to explain . But then I watched another tutorial you had on turning on audio follows picture so that basically solves that I think . But on a completely different subject , can you do watermark branding or logo branding on the yolo ultra ? Like add my logo on the bottom right side of the screen ?

[@StreamTeknology]

@@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. (Audio Follows Video)

[@BabyBoomer1959]

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

[@StreamTeknology]

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.

[@BabyBoomer1959]

[@meninjey]

I just paid for my OBSBOT NDI license, shall I pay for the Yolobox Ultra NDI license?

[@StreamTeknology]

If you want to use NDI on the YoloBox Ultra, yes, you need to activate that option on the Ultra by paying for it.

[@alekseimutovkin]

I hate when manufacturers do that! They already made the device! I bought it! And now I have to PAY AGAIN to activate something that is ALREADY IN THE DEVICE!!!! Just increase the price! I understand that you may disagree, but personally - I think such cases suck!

[@StreamTeknology]

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.
