Streaming, recording and multistream options

The GO-500-Studio includes a built-in H.264 web streaming encoder that lets you stream your program directly to common services such as Facebook Live, YouTube and Twitch. Additionally, you can expand your reach by pairing the unit with Datavideo’s DVS-200 streaming server software, which enables streaming to multiple destinations at the same time. At the same time, the unit supports recording, allowing you to capture your program while you stream.

Video input handling and scaling

The switcher accepts mixed resolution and standards inputs and scales them up to Full HD 1080P. Thus, you can combine different source types and still deliver a consistent 1080P output. This scaling capability helps maintain output quality when using cameras and devices with varying resolutions.

Lumakey and title creation

The GO-500-Studio provides a built-in lumakey function for graphic overlays and titles. Because the device supports lumakeying, you can create presentation-style titles in PowerPoint and overlay them as graphics during your production. This makes adding lower thirds, name plates and simple graphics straightforward without extra hardware.

Compact, portable production solution

As a small-sized production studio, the GO-500-Studio packs multiple live-production functions into one portable unit. It streamlines on-site setups by combining switching, streaming, recording, audio mixing and monitoring into a single device, helping you move quickly from setup to live broadcast.
