Roland GO:LIVECAST Live Streaming Studio for Smartphones

Full Description

Plug in and start recording

Thanks to the plug and play functionality of the GO:LIVECAST, you can access the full range of features immediately after connecting your smartphone device. A built-in microphone is instantly accessible, capable of capturing pristine, record ready audio. This is paired with an onboard reverb effect for musical recordings. Alternatively, an XLR input and preamp can be used to plug any microphone into the GO:LIVECAST. This includes condenser microphones which utilise the 48V phantom power. The inputs are completed with a stereo line input for adding a guitar preamp, mixer, or other sound sources.

An app full of features

The GO:LIVECAST app offers intuitive features that make it easy to bring premium production quality to your web shows. Within the app, create personalised libraries for music, sound effects, photos, and videos, or start creating with a variety of pre-installed options. Custom titles and text can also be placed on recordings without the need for external hardware and software. Media elements for different shows can be stored in Live Sets, all prepared for when it’s time to go live.

Connect to popular streaming platforms

The GO:LIVECAST can log into various streaming platforms, including Facebook Live, Twitch, YouTube and more. From there, simply select the videos destination and away you go! It’s even possible to see all the comments from viewers within the GO:LIVECAST app.

A studio at your fingertips

The GO:LIVECAST hardware features a range of customisable controls that puts an entire studio in the palm of your hand. With the hardware, it’s easy to control behind the scenes of your video whilst still engaging with your viewers. Controls can be assigned to start broadcasting, play music, display titles, launch photos and videos. The various knobs of the hardware GO:LIVECAST can be used to subtly adjust microphone and media levels, and mute functions ensure the audience only hear what you intend them too.

Get the best from your smartphones camera

Smartphones have made huge strides with their camera technology in recent years. The GO:LIVECAST helps you enjoy the full benefits of this, allowing you to choose between front and rear cameras from within the app. Other features include automatic portrait/landscape mode and in-camera mirroring display. This ensures you can moderate the audience's perspective without leaving the GO:LIVECAST app. To really impress audiences, connect a second camera via Wi-Fi for a second perspective. This can then be switched with one-touch or operated in split-screen mode.
