While this week was something of a respite from the usual sea of new product releases, that doesn’t mean there aren’t some exciting things to discuss. Hollyland announced the upgraded VenusLiv V2, an all-in-one live streaming camera that adds 4K video capture to its long list of capabilities. OBSBOT also announced a new product, the Talent Monitor, a multifunctional touchscreen interface that combines streaming, recording, and camera control into a single device.
Hollyland upgrades to 4K with the VenusLiv V2
The second version of Hollyland’s all-in-one live stream camera shares much of the same features of the previous model for quick and intuitive control over your next TikTok or Instagram Live. Whether you’re a tech reviewer, makeup guru, or small business owner wanting to share your new arrivals, the VenusLiv V2 can get you broadcasting with a single tap. Just input the streaming URL and go live to most social media platforms via RTMP protocol with reliable dual-band WiFi, Bluetooth 5.1, and LAN port connections. Connect additional devices using the 3.5mm microphone port, HDMI interface and USB-C ports.
Upgrades in the VenusLiv V2’s performance include a 12MP ½” Sony CMOS sensor capable of capturing up to 4K30 video. A 24-70mm lens with an 80⁰ field of view and fast autofocus ensure your subject remains in frame and in focus. A Snapdragon 8 CPU runs the HollyOS 2.0 operating system with ease, facilitating built-in applications and image controls like standard exposure, ISO, aperture, and chroma keying, among other functions. Overall, the VenusLiv V2 is an all-in-one solution for the creator or entrepreneur wanting an intuitive device to get their streaming career started.

OBSBOT Talent Monitor
The new Talent Monitor from OBSBOT is a multifaceted 5.4” touchscreen interface that combines streaming, recording, encoding, and control capabilities into a single device—one that fits seamlessly into your existing OBSBOT ecosystem. HDMI and USB ports allow you to connect the Talent directly to select cameras, personal computers, and other compatible devices. It can also connect to a wireless network and live stream directly to social media using the Ethernet port, dual-band WiFi, Bluetooth 5.0, NDI, and SRT/RTMP streaming protocols.
The monitor’s UI offers slew of production features, including chroma key, audio mixing, live HTML graphics, Picture in Picture, and more---all of which will give you greater creative control over your images. ISO recording and H.264/265 video encoding increase your streaming quality with synced time code for improved post production and lower bandwidth/bit-rates.
Most importantly, the Talent offers the functionality of multiple devices in one single monitor which makes live event production more streamlined while taking up less space. This makes the Talent ideal for worship services, small concert venues, beginner streamers, and other amateur operators looking to get their foot in the streaming door with the option to upgrade the ecosystem as you gain experience.
