Excellent video. Thanks for the honest advice. We are launching a live stream side hustle and this is exactly what I was hoping for. I’m going to reach out on your website. Thank you!
I’ve been using the Magewell Director Mini for a while, and this is the underlying hardware. But the Talent has software tweaks specifically to work the best with Obsbot devices. Sounds like a perfect partnership.
I agree, and it seems that's exactly what they did. The additional tweaks to the software to work directly with their hardware make this an excellent choice especially if you're in the OBSBOT ecosystem. Plus, you save 200 bucks! It's good all the way around.
Well, I'd say there are a lot of differences. Firmware optomizations and direct hardware integration with OBSBOT products would be the most noticable differences. PEople often don't think about OEM and White Lable products as much more than clones, but that's not how premium devices like Talent go about it. Don't forget the $200 less price difference between the two. If they were exactly the same, you would still save $200 bucks AND get all of the OBSBOT features for less.
I have a quick question for you. Can the USB-C port be used to connect to a computer as a webcam, so that the talent program feed acts like a webcam on the connected computer. Thanks.
Thanks for the great review. Is it possible to connect a stream deck device to change scenes and plans? Because searching and scrolling through them all at the bottom of a small screen is not very effective.
I have an art studio and I’m looking for something that will capture me while I’m working. I will not want to be “live” streaming all of the time as I would want to make edits before publication on RUclips and Facebook ect… Would this be a great buy for me? I do not want to spend my money on a $200-500 system that I’m not going to like and have to upgrade. You know what I mean? I also want to know if this has the capability to film from up above me as well as horizontally at the same time and be able to edit what I want my viewers to see at any given time during that one video? Thank you for the very informative video. I look forward to your answers 😊
Hello is possible that I get the email address so I can get my talent and 2 tail air operated because I was the video still don’t get thanks for doing us all a favor by doing this
No, not organically that I can tell. It may work with Speedify Bonding Service because the parent hardware, Magwell Director Mini, works with Speedify.
Thanks for the great information. I'm in a group that has in-person presentations and AV projectors demonstrating software. The room lights are low so the screen is bright and clear. The presenter is not in good lighting. How well would the Talent plus 2 or 3 Tail Air cameras work to record/stream in low-light environments?
TAIL Air works great in low light. It does not have an optical zoom, and is relatively wide. It's small size makes it easy to put close to your presenter/speakers. You could have one Tail Air with a wide shot and several angles programmed into it, and another Tail Air getting a closer shot by placing it closer to whatever you want to show. Switching between cameras and positions is easy. Use it in 4k. I do not recommend using the 1080p setting. Talent will connect over NDI to the tail air cameras. I would suggest purchasing the power over ethernet connection for each of your Tail Air cameras and connecting over a wired NDI connection to any cameras you want to use over NDI. Wireless NDI can sometimes be less reliable based on the robustness of the wireless signal. So just skip any of the headache you could encounter, and use a wired connection. Additional cameras can be plugged in to talent using the onboard HDMI connections and USB ports. You could plug in a computer for slideshows that was broadcasting onto the screen as well as a separate scene for talent. In this way you would be able to switch between presenter, the presenter on stage with whatever you want in the background, and a direct split for whatever was being broadcast on the projector. You would just need to route that signal out of projector to talent either by USB or HDMI. It's a pretty simple setup that would work very well for you.
Thanks ! Question about audio sources / mixing. When you mix USB audio in from a USB Mic or camera can you listen/stream/record simultaneously from this USB Audio and the jack input or does the USB audio replace the jack input source like on the Yoloboxes ? Also, can you do PiP and can you set transparency on the PiP layer ?
Yes, and yes. The headphone out seemst to town all the time OR Talent supports multiple audio outputs. I haven't had any problems with it, but I'll test it some more and add it to my audio video that I'm making about Talent. PiP works exactly you think. Think about how you create a scene in OBS software. It's the same thing. You can have multiple inputs and use them separately AND you can use those same inputs as multiple sources on one scene, and then switch between them all. I've got to make a video about that too. There's so much about Talent, that this first video was really an introduction. There's a lot to talk about with Talent.
@@RobertHamm Thanks, I was referring to the inputs : being able to mix audio Jack input (I guess there is one in addition to the headphone out) and source from USB. The sound card of the Yolobox is supporting mixing hdmi audio sources but not between hdmi/Jack analog ins and USB, if you connect anything USB you have to choose between audio coming from the USB or analog sources. I wonder if the OBSbot inherits of the same issue (which I guess has to do with the inability of the Android base to aggregate audio devices. That’s cool for PiP, I hope the positioning is easy (touch dragging and resizing would be perfect). How about the transparency setting ? Is it there for PiP layers ?
I've got a video coming about this. ASs you can imagine, they are very similar products, but they go about it differently (both hardware and software). It's not an easy answer, but the video I'm making WILL have a real answer! Stay tuned.
Thanks for the awesome thorough review, as we have come to expect from your channel. The sound effects under your glitch title transitions are annoying.

Nice video and products! Can't wait to see more video using this product.
I love, Love the new intro!
Awe, thanks!
Thanks for the review
I'm glad you liked it.

@@RobertHamm The prices of the Director Mini & OBSBOT are now the same🙂
I love definitely I will give it a try
Show us how the replays work, and NDI with PoE switcher smoothness. Great real world use video, thanks!
Nice, but.. what is the difference between this and the Magewell Director Mini?

Thanks for your comment and thoughts about the sfx. I'm glad you found the video helpful.
Enough with the damn graphics transition repetitive audio!
