OSEE GoStream Kit versus ATEM Mini/Pro

Update: There is an active, private Facebook group dedicated to the OSEE GoStream for those who work with the GoStream.

Awesome video. Can you have 4 outputs at the same time live? Quadrant style.

For me, a big feature was the program preview bus on the physical machine, not just in the software.

I always thought it was disappointing/bizarre that Blackmagic didn’t include more colour space functionality in the ATEM to help match cameras

Hey Curtis, I wanted to express my gratitude. I finally bought the OSEE after carefully studying it for some time. Your video was the final push I needed to make the purchase. Thanks for your help!

I recorded a few clips on an SD card but it would not play on my Mac. Is there a reason for that?

Interesting product but shady shopify website for products made in China... I wouldn't trust the support and maintenance service too much. If that works well, cool ! If it does not for a reason, good luck I guess

I like that... if the price ever comes down just a little bit. I hope to get one.. that is neat

The links don't work this side of the "pond" so checking, can you input 4K over the HDMI or is the input still restricted to FullHD?

Thanks Curtis a great video. I'd love to see a deep dive.

I didn’t realize this takes the processing away from the computer that changes my thoughts on these, I’m looking at the black magic stem mini pro iso because it lets you record multiple cameras and audio separately. Does this allow for something similar?

You can also record to a SSD with the usbc input. It records one input of your choice and you can also use the usbc to add a hotspot. Overall very cool but I really want iso recording. The other thing is I Already use DR for editing and the atem pro iso makes those files for you to take into DR ready to go.

So Curtis, I tweeted out OSEE and asked my question. I got a reply: "Hi Matt, We have a plan for the Duet with Kit. However, it really takes time and costs more. But yes, it will be available in the future."

Is it possible to make the audio source sticky? I would like to use the xlr inputs on my C70 but be able to switch to powerpoint on my computer while keeping the audio from the C70. I am currently using a Ninja Cast and have found the video quality for a computer to be so low as to be unusable. Did you see any video quality issues from a computer source with this unit?

Is there some kind of cover for the ports on the back of the case to protect them during transport or are they always exposed?

If you fed analogue audio from, say CEntrance's English Channel, would that solve audio issues and provide needed flexibility?

What are your thoughts on this versus the Yolobox Ultra? It's less expensive but doesn't offer ISO recording.

Thanks Curtis for a very clear and concise comparison. I have one question for you. I do corporate training and I have a very sophisticated set-up, including the basic ATEM mini. I facilitate very complex sessions, using a 3 camera set-up and multiple info sources. Why do you use an ATEM Mini Extreme, with 8 inputs, when your set-up looks much less complex than mine? What am I missing? Thank you, as always, Peter.

I think the GoStream is better than the ATEM. The Kit is a great Idea but they just released a GoStream Duo, which I would want as it has 4 SDI and HDMI. You can also use the Macro/Companion to switch between SDI and HDMI and can, with planning, basically give you 8 inputs (4 SDI and 4 HDMI).

Excellent overview! Yes, OCEE is something us streamers want to know more about ...

Thank you for another great upload Curtis 👍

I'd love to learn more about this :)

DSLR Video Shooter was ahead of the curve making his diy version back in the day. Cool to see companies making it a final product with a screen you can buy

Nice compact system for live streaming. Question: Why don't these products have xlr inputs for microphones?

Thanks, Curtis. I am glad to see you review this unit. I bought the original deck earlier this year and ended up returning it after being disappointed by the audio quality - I could only get rid of a nasty buzz with a ground lift on a DI box and felt like the unit really cut out the low end of the audio signal as well.

Curious about your thoughts on the audio quality?

Really cool. For $900, it's a good pitch. What I'd really like this for is a go-bag for an operator who needs to record a guest (with a presentation) for a conference. Stick a camera and a Wireless Pro on it and you're golden.

I wouldn't use it for much else due to the audio limitations. If it could handle an interchange with an audio mixer - XLR, MADI, Dante, whatever - then that would be great. As it is ... I rarely have livestreams simple enough that two mics would cut it, and I wouldn't use 3,5mm cables even if I did.

I have had the standalone version of this since before the app came out, and I have to say, being on their Facebook group, they do a lot of firmware updates. I suspect they will aggressively update the app and keep adding features. They have even released a version of the Decl that has an additional 4 SDI inputs.

Always ready for all hr videos ❤

@curtisjudd You might want to check out the Magewell Director Mini. Especially when on the go this is an extremely compact and powerful device.

Thanks for the video. Do you know if they are working for something similar for SDI setups?

This is great Curtis, how would you say it compares with the Atomos X Cast? I acquired a X Cast as I currently own a Ninja V, and it made sense for the rare occassion I might need to do a stream. However, this unit looks perfect. One thing I'm particularly in is the fan noise, I still haven't got to the bottom of whether it's my unit or if all Atomos Ninja Vs are as loud as the unit I have, however I do find the fan noise sometimes is a real detractor of good quality audio if in close proximity to the unit, if the GoStream is quieter then I'd definitely be interested.

Another excellent video. One tidbit if I am not mistaken is the most recent firmware update for the Osee allows you to also record to an external USB drive.
