by Leave a Comment

YoloLiv has announced its new pan-tilt-zoom (PTZ) camera, the VertiCam. As the name suggests, it’s a vertically oriented camera for shooting vertical videos to let you record and live stream to social media. Inside it features a 1/2.8″ sensor with a resolution of 2.07-megapixels. As such, it offers 1080p vertical video at frame rates of up to 60 frames per second, with a 3.5-42.3mm lens and f/1.8-2.8 aperture.

Although designed primarily to complement the company’s Instream vertical video streaming device – which we checked out at IBC 2022 – the VertiCam supports USB connectivity straight to your computer for and RS232 for remote control. There’s also a full-sized HDMI output for connecting to the Instream or similar devices for streaming and recording separately from the computer.

YoloLiv has created a nice little lineup of all-in-one video switcher/encoder/streamer/recorder/monitor devices, starting with the original YoloBox, the YoloBox Mini and more recently, the YoloBox Pro. Now, they’ve taken that principle and applied it to the rapidly growing world of Instagram and TikTok live streaming with the new YoloLiv Instream.

The 7″ box lets you mix multiple HDMI and USB camera devices and features many of the usual features you’ve come to know from the exiting YoloBox products, such as overlays and multiviews to let you directly stream vertically to social media. And it’ll let you do it without a computer or even your smartphone.
