Stinger Transition

Supported Model

• GoStream Omni 12 ISO

Preparing the Storage Device

1.Prepare a storage device formatted as exFAT, and connect it to the GoStream switcher. For example, insert a CFexpress card.

2.On the GoStream switcher, go to: 
                                                                 Menu > Setting > Disk Selection
Select the corresponding storage option to mount the storage device. For example, select CFexpress.

3.After the storage device is mounted successfully, the CFe icon in the status menu at the lower-right corner will turn red.

4.Press and hold the STOP button in the Recorder area for 2 seconds to safely eject the CFexpress card.

To prevent damage to the device or storage media, always use the safe eject function before removing the storage device.

5.Remove the storage device from the switcher and connect it to a computer. The following folders will be created on the storage device:

• device profile: Stores profile files for the switcher.
• images: Stores still images used by GFX.
• player1: Stores MP4 video files for Player 1.
• player2: Stores MP4 video files for Player 2.
• record PGM&ISO: Stores recorded PGM and ISO audio/video files.
• streaming platforms: Stores streaming-related configuration files.

Preparing the Stinger Video

1.Place the MP4 video file prepared for the Stinger transition into the player1 folder on the storage device.

2.Reconnect the storage device to the GoStream switcher. Mount the storage device again from the menu.

3.Press the SRC LIST button on the control panel. The video file placed in the player1 folder will appear in the menu.

Performing a Stinger Transition

1.Press the STING button on the control panel.

2.The STING button will remain lit, indicating that Player 1 has entered Stinger mode.

3.In SRC LIST, select the transition video you want to use.

4.Press AUTO to start the Stinger transition.

Notes

1.The Stinger transition uses the built-in media player of the switcher. Therefore, it occupies Player 1 while Stinger mode is active.

2.During this period, Player 1 cannot be used as a normal media player.

3.Stinger transitions can only be triggered by AUTO.

4.When STING is enabled:

• The T-Bar cannot be used for the Stinger transition.
• CUT will still perform a hard cut.

5.Do not change any Player 1 parameters in the menu while using Stinger mode. Changing Player 1 settings may prevent the Stinger transition from being performed correctly.

6.Wait until the Stinger video has finished playing before starting another transition. Do not trigger Stinger transitions repeatedly in quick succession, as this may cause switching errors or unexpected transition behavior.
