Just to clarify - the GoStream Duet DOES accept some interlaced formats. 1920x1080i@50/59.94/60 It DOES NOT however output any interlaced formats. That's where it is the "progressive only" club.

Very nice review. Love the format. Keep em up! Great to see a review of such a product coming from a broadcast professional perspective.

Good review

I was able to add a 5 camera in put using a cheap hdmi video capture card connected to usb c 2 port on the device

The osee is working well ended up looping of 4 cam feed from the master control van so I had easy b channel intercom. Literally 3000 foot cable runs I avoided this way. Overall so far it's streaming well. It did lock up twice until I reupgraded the firmware. Seems ok now. Half a Celtics game to go...keep u updated as I go.

Lack of interlaced format support is a pretty solid deal killer in a LOT of situations. And the other big omission is of course an SDI output. Impressive tech for the size and price through. I wonder if other "webcam" sources would work, I'm thinking HyperDecks for clip playback, or even an Atem as an upstream switcher for something like computer inputs.

I guess I should have clarified that a little better, but input wise it will accept 1920x1080i@50/59.94/60 - but on the output side there is no interlaced formats supported. That's what I was saying when progressive only 😬 I believe I have heard of people using an ATEM upstream in the USB port!

A keyboard compatibility is a discovery (although not completely unexpected, GoStream is a Linux device). I'll add that to the FAQ after checking myself (for some reason I didn't try it in all half a year I own a GoStream device). But... you already installed the software, why didn't you use it to change settings and add streaming keys? USB hubs aren't recommended - at least unpowered (passive) USB hubs. I find your approach a bit convoluted, TBH... Maybe because I come from “camera, computer, soundboard” side of things rather than from “analog broadcasting van”.

You're right! I absolutely could have just used the software. Works great! The keyboard was just a curiosity itch. As an engineer, I'm kind of programmed to look for contingencies in all the products I use. If for whatever reason I was in a situation where the software wasn't available/ accesible the keyboard makes for a fine alternative :)

Does it have input scalers? Can inputs be in different formats?

Not a fan, been messing with it for review a while now. Too small. Needs a larger unit. I prefer the atem but fir what it is its a work in progress....osee asked if i can do a live production with it so i got 5 northeastern students and we doing 1 half of the Boston Celtics. Let u know how it goes

Please do!

It's not “Deck Duet”, it's just Duet.

Yepp! You're absolutely correct. My title and thumbnail represent that. When their product team originally reached out to me about the review they referred to it as the "GoStream Deck (SDI version)". In later emails they started to tag on "Duet" to the end... and so that's why I referred to it as such when shooting the video. By the time the video was done and ready to be uploaded, I believe their marketing team settled on just "GoStream Duet".
