RGBlink TAO 1pro NDI Video Switcher Live Video Streaming Encoder Decoder Stream simultaneously to Facebook Live, Twitch, YouTube, and Twitter Live Video Streams

I have no experience with anything like this. So my opinion might not deserve as much clout as the experts, but this device seems simple. Easy to setup and feel like great quality. I got a battery for it also as a safety measure so it won’t crap out if power is interrupted. The quality of the picture on the screen is excellent and really bright and easy to see even with all my lights on. I feel like I’m setup like a real YouTuber.

It's nice to have a monitor and screen built into the same switching device, but we had a hard time getting the NDI stream to be stable / detected over network. There are only two HDMI inputs, the other are UVC for web cameras, and the overall GUI was slow and not optimal for fast switching (for live events).For the price, I'd recommend buying a smaller HDMI mixer and screen. Sure, it would be two units instead of one, but both would perform better and the cost would be less.

I got this monitor/streaming device to use as a field monitor for recording, and potentially to use as a switcher in a home streaming setup. The good news is that as a field monitor, it is fantastic - I can attach it to my camera sled or gimbal, the picture is bright, and it has tons of useful features (RBG distribution, audio levels, framing overlays, etc). It's built quite well, so it's heavy, but I came up in the era of ENG cameras so no big deal. The cooling fan IS loud, but you can adjust the speed to quiet it down.My next attempt was to use it as a switcher - I plugged in two USB webcams, a HDMI action cam, and my Lumix G7. I ran the HDMI output to a generic USB capture card, then into my laptop running OBS Studio. My streaming setup is cobbled-together and running into a fairly ancient laptop, so my hope was this device would take care of most of the "heavy lifting", and just allow me to use OBS Studio to pass off the signal to my streaming platforms. (I also tend to have to re-map all the USB cameras & mics every time I re-boot the laptop, so I was hoping to avoid that as well). The good news is that the RGBlink handled all my input devices flawlessly and switched between them with ease. The bad news is that OBS Studio didn't like it AT ALL when I would switch cameras, and would freeze up on the last frame of video before I switched cameras. I have a feeling This has more to do with the no-name capture device I'm using, once I get a better capture setup I'll try it again.I haven't tried streaming directly from the device, as that's a bit more than I planned on using this device for. I did order a network cable to try it sometime, but I need to run cable across the house and down one floor to make that happen, so it'll be a while before I get to that.

I am just getting going using this video switcher and only at the tip of the iceberg but excited to get deeper into it. This video switcher provides many functionalities and is a good tool to have for any kind of streaming. The unit feels well built and I look forward to pushing it harder.

Being able to switch multi-cam on the go is great; it's like having a portable studio.I feel the presentation and UI could be better.I also own a YOLOLIV YoloBox Pro and I feel that one is more streamlined and cleaner. But then again, that one costs way more than this. I feel this is more still clearly a Chinese quality (it is from a Chinese company)This can be used as an encoder, switcher, monitor, or recorder.You can stream to 4 platforms at the same time.UVC USB2 or USB3 like webcams and HDMI 1.3
