Osee GoStream Deck HDMI Pro Live Streaming Multi Camera Video Mixer Switcher with NDI Updatable

The best small video switcher I’ve used.
I wasn’t sure what I was getting myself into with this new Chinese switcher. Let me say that I am not the kind of person who likes reading user manuals and I didn’t start by opening the manual that comes with the Osee GoStream Deck either. But after ten hours of testing I am very impressed. Osee has a reputation for a line of very good field video monitors but this is their first venture into production switchers.What’s so good you ask…First of all the very low price…Second, when I hooked up my cameras and a laptop for inputs and a couple of monitors for program and multiview outputs, it’s surprisingly stable…plugging and unplugging cameras and computers and switching resolutions did not phase it when streaming and recording. Second, it’s very accommodating and much more flexible than other compact video switchers I have used. The microphone inputs are actually switchable as either mic or line inputs. There are four dedicated HDMI inputs and one USB input which can be used for a USB camera or phone or practically anything that has a USB output.It has a streaming ready USB output as well as two HDMI outputs that are programable and can be used for program out, preview out or the built in multiview out. The built-in multiviewer is well designed and also has graphic audio meters…The switcher is comprehensive…it has a linear keyer, downstream keyer and chroma keyer….and these keyers look great. These are not the typical inexpensive keyers often found in budget switchers.It has a built in recorder with three levels of H.264 recording quality. Honestly…it’s about time somebody handed us a video switcher that has built in recording capability. Thank you!If you don’t want to record, you can use the SD card recorder as a media player for your production.Physically the switcher is compact and conveniently laid out with groupings of buttons for keyers and audio switches just where you’d expect them to be.The menu system is straight forward but also wildly extensive, as you would expect, with a device that can be programmed to meet so many needs.So what’s the downside…the only rough element I find worth mentioning is the “feel” of the main switcher buttons. They have a “cheap” feel…the result of a crunchy membrane cover over a physical switch. That’s the most objectionable element of this device I can point out…Perhaps not a very big deal…In my opinion this switcher is phenomenal. I’m looking forward to taking it out on the road very soon.

Impressive video switcher at a great price!
I purchased the Osee GoStream Deck as a video switcher to help bolster the marketing within my retail business. This thing is awesome for efficiently creating recorded and live video.The GoStream is in my opinion the only real competition to the Blackmagic ATEM mini/mini pro & mini extreme. I have a background in broadcast and this little device reminds me of a small version of the bigger production switcher I used to use. It’s well built and the button placements have been well thought out compared to the ATEM mini Extreme that has tons of buttons that are hardly used. The preview bus is a MUST in my opinion and I’m so glad that Osee decided to stick with the traditional layout and include those buttons.Incredibly impressive to have a built-in SD card slot that can both be used for recording and playback live. Additionally love that this switcher includes both a SuperSource and 2 keyers, 1 Upstream, and 1 Downstream. Also at this price point it’s notable that there are 2 still stores. You have to spend almost $1,000 with BlackMagic to get that feature.Osee has been continually updating the firmware on the device and it just keeps getting better. According to the manufacturer they are coming up with an update soon that will enable API access to the device along with a software companion product for computer control.I would like to see the DVE capabilities extend to doing transitions and also add support for alpha channels within video playback so that animated titles could be added from the SD card. But overall a very impressive device with a promising future. Competition is never a bad thing.

Osee est une marque que beaucoup de gens mériteraient à connaître! Excellent rapport qualité prix et offre plus de fonctionnalités que la concurrence. L’appareil a très bien fonctionné lors de divers événements avec enregistrement et webdiffusion. L’appareil m’apparaît fiable et n’a pas fait défaut pendant ces événements. Il existe des groupe en ligne de soutien entre utilisateurs et la meilleure recommandation est de déposer le GoStream sur un plateau ventilé ou refroidissant. Le principal point avantageux comparé au Atem est d’avoir 2 sorties HDMI : un pour le multiview et l’autre pour le programme.

With hdmi inputs and outputs, this unit is the CB perfect streamer control.
