Video switchers have become all the rage over the last few years. No longer content with just shoving our camera into an Elgato Cam Link, we want to force multiple cameras into a box and have them all available simultaneously at our fingertips.
Well, now, AI camera manufacturer Obsbot is getting into multicam. It’s the new Obsbot Talent, and we got to take a first look at one during NAB 2024 in Las Vegas.
Obsbot Talent – Tablet streaming box
tHe Obsbot Talent joins an ever-growing list of devices, like the Blackmagic Atem Mini series, Feelworld’s LivePro series, and the range of YoloBox products from Yololiv. These are just a handful of new video-switching products that have adorned our desks over the last few years.
The Talent has a 5.4” 1920 x 1080 AMOLED touchscreen for intuitive onboard control. It features both HDMI and USB inputs, so you can plug in any camera (obviously OBSBOT cameras are supported), computer, or any device with HDMI output or USB video device class.
Streams to multiple platforms
The Obsbot Talent is a touchscreen video changer with multiple HDMI and UVC (USB-C Video) inputs, along with NDI support. It integrates with Obsbot’s line of PTZ and AI-tracking cameras to help automate the live multicam production process.
It’s capable of streaming natively to YouTube, Twitch, Facebook, NDI, RTMP, etc. Of course, you can also just take a feed out and bring it into your laptop running OBS or some other streaming software.
For Obsbot camera users, it should fill a unique hole in the industry. It will be interesting to see how it fares in the larger industry where a lot of devices are all starting to blend into one.
Price and Availability
Obsbot just released the Obsbot Talent, and you can order it on B&H for $1,099.

Perhaps I am missing something. But from the video this looks just like the Magewell Director Mini that I’m already using in conjunction with my Obsbot cameras.
Its a Magewell Director Mini!
