GoStream Deck - HDMI Video Switcher & Live Broadcast Mixer | All-in-One Professional Streaming Solution
Looks okay at first, but thatās where it ends. No UK power supply included for a supposedly āuniversalā device. The thing overheats like crazy ā it gets so hot you canāt touch it, and it actually caused my phone socket to stop working, like something melted or desoldered inside.
The software is a mess, barely responds to PC control, and macros/supersource functions donāt work. The buttons make no sense ā pressing āBLACKā randomly takes you to supersource? Completely illogical.
Absolute waste of money. Overheating, unreliable, and unusable. Avoid, avoid, avoid!
Hi
Good product , but I thought that it could automatically send all the inputs as separate tracks into my computer so I could easily edit everything . But this is not possible . Also 4K streaming is nog possible with usb-c
so, I want to a gig, did a test, it worked, gig started and osee gostream became osee NOSTREAM, just yellow blinking stream button, tried every possible internet connection, nothing, ... days after trying and firmware update still nothing, and then I did a factory reset and it worked, time to go back to blackmagic design for sure, this is such a nice concept to be true, back to reality
I've been using the GoStream deck for a year and a half and unfortunately I'm disappointed with the support.
In all these months, I've made several bug reports and several feature requests that would primarily serve usability, which have somehow come to nothing.
First of all: The switcher works very well with the absolute basic functions. However, I often have dropouts when the thing is running for more than 4 hours. Then it is no longer recognized as a camera by the computer and you can only continue working after a complete restart.
Unfortunately, the biggest drawback is usability.
The menu is a fifth (or even less) of the preview screen and far too small for a field monitor. A lot of things seem immature or remain with unnecessary and impractical settings.
The chroma keyer has glaring weaknesses - despite a professionally and evenly lit green screen, it doesn't work for me at all.
You can't change the position of the PIP window or the center of the image when zooming.
You can totally forget about the Superscreen. Anyone who really needs these presets has no idea about image composition. You still can't change the X position, i.e. the ratio of input 1 to input 2. With the 1:2 crop, you also can't set WHERE the image section is cropped.
For me, after 1.5 years of frustration, I'm so not want to use it anymore. I would have rather invested into a more professional switcher in the first place. Now, I have to wait, until my employer is updating to another device soon.
