Zato Connect has been designed to act as a compact, easy-to-use gateway to ATOMOS Cloud Studio. The device supports nearly all HDMI and USB UVC sources to livestream to Facebook Live, Twitch, YouTube, and other social sites, or can be used to create a webcam source for Microsoft Teams, Slack, Zoom, and other conferencing software.
The implementation of the AtomOS Lite software provides an intuitive and easy-to-use experience for new customers. The software includes all the essential tools, so it feels familiar for existing customers too. With a compact form factor, the SuperAtom IPS 5-inch (1000nit) display, Wi-Fi 5, USB-C, and Ethernet (via USB-C adapter) connectivity, as well as, NP-F battery or USB-C PD power options, Zato Connect is an ideal companion for livestreaming in the field, the studio, or wherever else it travels.
Livestreaming and high-quality video conferencing is made easy and accessible with Zato Connect. With support for HDMI and USB UVC cameras or video sources, the device is equipped with Wi-Fi 5, Gigabit Ethernet (via USB-C), and the ability to join cellular hotspots, everyone can stream to Facebook Live, Twitch, and YouTube, or create high-quality video for Microsoft Teams, Slack, and Zoom from anywhere.
Anyone can setup a livestream (using ATOMOS Cloud Studio) and create high-value video content with the easy-to-use Zato Connect. The 5-inch touchscreen display can be used to switch between sources and monitor the outgoing program stream. The device is compact enough to mount on a DSLR or mirrorless camera rig. It’s equally at home next to a PC, Mac computer, or gaming console. Streaming has never been easier and Zato Connect is the ideal, all-in-one solution.
While incredibly compact, the Zato Connect lives up to its name. Featuring input and output ports for both HDMI and USB UVC, the device can transform the output from a wide array of video equipment into a livestream or webcam source. The 3.5mm audio jack can also be used to add microphone or line sources and the Zato Connect can be used to mix them with embedded audio from HDMI or USB UVC.
Each livestream can be recorded as local H.264 backup to an SD card. With the ability to combine recorded sources with live content, it’s possible to take one of these recordings and stream the content “as live” with Zato Connect. This opens lots of creative opportunities and adds value to any stream or video presentation.
Zato Connect includes an audio mixer, which can be used to adjust and combine audio signals from the 3.5mm analog input with the embedded audio from HDMI and USB UVC sources. Each channel can be adjusted independently and mixed down to a single stereo track for a livestream, recording, or video presentation.
Whether it’s configuring streams, switching between sources, recording, playback, mixing audio, or adding effects, AtomOS Lite on the Zato Connect makes it all a breeze. The software features a number of key tools including overlay effects, image zoom, and frame guides that will help add value to every stream or video conference.
Whether through a livestream or virtual meeting, video has become an everyday part of all our lives. Today businesses, influencers, entrepreneurs, houses of worship, and educators all use video to establish an identity or reinforce a brand. Compelling content can make a difference and help emphasize branding, core messages, or even empower sponsorship opportunities. Applying graphic overlays to streams or watermarking recorded content is easy with Zato Connect.
Camera to Cloud (C2C) is improving the way production teams share footage with remote collaborators by offering a fast, easy and secure method to transfer media and collaborate in real-time. This technology creates a direct path from production to post-production, allowing media to be transferred from C2C-certified devices over standard network connections to the cloud from any location. As a result, footage can be viewed, approved, and edited almost immediately and from anywhere, significantly speeding up the production process.
Atomos Cloud Studio (ACS) is revolutionising video production by harnessing the capabilities of cloud computing. This innovative platform offers filmmakers, live streaming producers, video content creators and really anyone who likes to film unparalleled accessibility, scalability, and cost-effectiveness. By migrating production processes to the cloud, ACS eliminates the need for expensive hardware investments and physical studio spaces, making high-quality production tools accessible to creators of all scales. Its flexibility enables real-time collaboration, on-demand resource allocation, and seamless adaptation to changing project requirements. Moreover, ACS integrates with emerging technologies like artificial intelligence and machine learning, enhancing production workflows and optimising resource utilisation. With robust security measures and built-in redundancy, ACS ensures the reliability and protection of sensitive production data. In essence, Atomos Cloud Studio represents the future of video production, empowering creators to embrace the latest advances in technology and collaborate more efficiently in an ever-evolving industry landscape.
As the production and creative industries become more and more competitive, the need for a quick and efficient, yet high-quality post-production workflow has become even more prominent. Although some of this technology has been around for a while, like with most new technology it’s expensive to start with. This usually means it’s not within the budget for most creatives & production companies, until now.
Empowering Content Everywhere... after a 3-year break While we would normally say ‘another year, another IBC’, this year was different, as IBC was returning for the first time in three years, thanks to a COVID-induced break. Much was the same – certainly the broadcasters, bitterballen and boats – although the carnage at Schiphol Airport was a first for many IBC veterans. Barcelona anyone?
Trade shows are in full swing again and next up we’re at the KitPlus show at Media City UK (The Open Centre) on Thursday 23rd June, open from 10 am - 4:30 pm.
