Roland GO:LIVECAST Live Streaming Audio and Video Studio for Smartphones and Tablets
Easily create exciting webcasts from your smartphone or tablet with the Roland GO:LIVECAST, a complete live streaming production studio with a compact desktop interface and a flexible, interactive app. Its versatile I/O and tactile controls let you integrate multiple sound sources, control your device's camera, and trigger media files in no time.
With plug-and-play setup and intuitive icons labeling all ports and controls, the GO:LIVECAST is purpose built for user-friendly operations. Since it is compatible with popular streaming platforms and includes multiple cables for simple hookup to Lightning- or USB-equipped mobile devices, the GO:LIVECAST seamlessly fits in with your preferred workflow.
The companion app offers several features for enhancing the appearance of your webcast—a skin filter provides a softer look, in-camera mirroring delivers the correct left/right perspective to the viewer, automatic portrait/landscape switching. Incorporate a second smartphone camera via Wi-Fi to take advantage of split-screen views and one-touch camera switching for more complex video production techniques. Additionally, the app displays viewer comments in a scrolling window, so you can stay in tune with feedback from your audience.
Complete Miniature Webcasting Studio
Take control of your webcast's audio and video via the straightforward and customizable control layout. At your fingertips, clearly labeled buttons let you start your stream, show titles, and trigger various media files such as photos, videos, music, and sound effects in an instant.
Easy Setup and Operation
Forget about installing special drivers and fiddling with device settings; the GO:LIVECAST offers plug-and-play setup so you can get started right away. Simply connect your smartphone/tablet and a pair of headphones; you don't even need an external microphone because the GO:LIVECAST boasts a built-in mic, which also offers a reverb effect for added spaciousness. If your connected headset has an onboard mic, the GO:LIVECAST can utilize it instead.
Enhance Your Live Stream with Various Media
You don't need prior webcasting experience to use the GO:LIVECAST app's intuitive media tools and bring a competitive production quality to your content. There are preinstalled options for launching photos, videos, music, and sound effects, and you're free to build custom libraries at any time.
Push your productions further into the realm of professional with custom titles and text. To maximize efficiency and make your work easier, store media elements for different shows in Live Sets, which can be pulled up for easy access before you start streaming.
Supports Popular Streaming Platforms
The GO:LIVECAST app logs you into your accounts on popular streaming services such as Twitch, YouTube, and Facebook Live, enabling you to select a platform and press a button to begin your webcast. During your stream, a scrolling window in the app displays viewer comments.
Supports iOS and Android Platforms
The GO:LIVECAST is compatible with both iOS and Android devices, and includes Lighting and USB connectors.
Designed for Optimal Visuals
In the GO:LIVECAST's companion app, select your mobile device's front or rear camera and apply a skin filter for a softer, smoother appearance on camera. Your phone's position automatically determines portrait or landscape mode, and in-camera mirroring ensures that your audience will see you with the correct left/right perspective.
For more complex video production techniques, you can set up a second smartphone camera through Wi-Fi and either switch between the cameras or use them both in split-screen mode.
Versatile Connectivity
Since the XLR-1/4" combo input provides switchable 48V phantom power, you can use your preferred dynamic or condenser microphone. A dedicated 3.5mm stereo mini-jack input is provided to accommodate a line-level source such as a mixer, media player, synth, or drum machine. Use the 3.5mm stereo output to connect your favorite earbuds or headphones.
Via the GO:LIVECAST's four knobs, you're given effective control over the levels for the mic signal, line input, pad playback, and headphone output. Plus, there's a mic-mute button for times when you need to cut the mic feed if you need take a drink or cough.
