In my experience as a Yolobox Ultra Dealer, every device I have had in my hands three total now has been a bug ridden product with features that are advertised but simply do not work. Then Frank and Broadfield lie about the features, blame their dealers and customers and promise updates that never work. Save your sanity, time and money do not buy this fraud of a product.

Can the YoloBox Ultra do ISO recording in 4K?

[@StreamingAlchemy]

Hi @bykevinmack - When configuring the ISOCorder you can only configure one input to record at 4K30. Along with that 4K recording, you can also ISOCord three 1080p30 feeds or one 1080p60 feed. I tried lowering the bitrate on the 4K recording to see if that made a difference, but wasn't able to assign more than one feed as 4K. Thanks for watching! -j

[@LudwickMa]

@@StreamingAlchemy What is the quality of the recorded video format? (1080p vs 4k). Are they h264/h265 8bit or 10bit in all isocording options, or only some?

[@timreha]

@@StreamingAlchemy basically false advertising. Frank and his team and distributor know it and scam customers by omitting details on their website and advertising which is fraud.

I am in NYC which provider do you recommand ???? verizon or T mobile

[@StreamingAlchemy]

Based on what I've heard from others living in the city, all of the carriers should work well within that NY region. That said, there could be dead spots in specific areas, so I would definitely recommend asking people that work/live in the different areas of the city you plan to travel for their experiences. Sorry I can offer a more definitive answer. Best, -john

[@djvoicy1653]

Which SD card do you recommend 🤔? On Ultra

[@StreamingAlchemy]

Hi @djvoicy1653 - I would go with an SD card with a V30 UHS-I rating - in whatever size makes sense for your production needs. As far as specific brands go, I usually stick with either SanDisk and ProGrade, but there are many other quality brands on the market. Best, John

[@ntchi]

Looking great! Is there any EQ and compressors on the audio channels like on the ATEM?

[@weslymathurin1656]

I was wondering the same thing

[@StreamingAlchemy]

Hi @ntchi - As of version 18 of the Ultra Software (the current version at the time I'm writing this) , each audio source in the mixer only has level and delay controls - no EQ's or Compression yet. Yololiv does fairly frequent updates, so it is possible this might be added in the future. Thanks for watching! -j

[@timreha]

After 5 months of testing out three Yolobox Ultras every single one has terrible audio components. I can not trust their audio levels or hear the audio correctly on the device due to faulty product design and cheap audio components.

[@ntchi]

@@timreha ya I think the audio part is not well designed indeed. Headphones preamps are weak also
