on

In this live demo, Videoguys video production specialist James walks through the new YoloLiv YoloBox Ultra + SanDisk Creator Series 256GB SD Card Bundle — the ultimate portable solution for creators who want to stream, record, and replay in 4K.


Whether you’re producing live sports, church services, or corporate events, this bundle gives you everything you need for high-quality, on-the-go live production.



What Is the YoloBox Ultra?


The YoloLiv YoloBox Ultra is an all-in-one monitor, recorder, and encoder that brings studio-level production to a portable 8-inch touchscreen tablet. It’s designed to handle every step of your live stream — from camera switching to recording and multicam replays.


Key YoloBox Ultra features include:




  • 4 HDMI inputs + 1 HDMI output for multicam workflows




  • USB-A, USB-C, and Ethernet ports for flexible connectivity




  • ISO recording for each camera angle




  • NDI HX input support (with optional license)




  • 4K30 streaming and recording capability




  • Vertical streaming mode for TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube Shorts




With its built-in battery, you can stream for up to six hours without external power — perfect for creators on the move.



Why Pair It with the SanDisk Creator SD Card?


The included SanDisk Creator Series 256GB SD Card is engineered specifically for content creators. With 280 MB/s read and write speeds, it’s ideal for handling 4K video recording and multi-source capture on the YoloBox Ultra.


Its signature blue design makes it easy to identify Creator Series gear, and the card’s performance ensures smooth, reliable recording without dropped frames or buffering — even during demanding multicam shoots.



Record, Stream, and Replay with Confidence


With the YoloBox Ultra, you can record:



The system allows for program and ISO recording, giving you separate video files for each camera. That means easier editing later and built-in redundancy for your productions.


James demonstrates how easy it is to set up NDI sources, record directly to the SanDisk Creator SD Card, and even create instant multicam replays for sports or event coverage.


If you’re streaming to Facebook, YouTube, or Twitch, the YoloBox Ultra’s internal recording ensures you always have a backup copy — even if your stream encounters connectivity issues.



Adding Graphics, Videos, and PDFs


YoloBox Ultra makes it simple to enhance your live productions. You can upload:




  • Logos and overlays for professional branding




  • Pre-recorded videos and commercials




  • PDFs for presentations or slideshows




  • Animated elements or GIFs for engagement




All of these can be stored on your SD card and accessed instantly within your live production — no extra computer or software required.



Vertical Streaming for TikTok and Social Platforms


Another standout feature of the YoloBox Ultra is its ability to stream vertically or horizontally. Switch easily between formats to broadcast to TikTok, Instagram Live, or YouTube Shorts — all directly from the YoloBox interface.


It’s like having both the YoloBox and Instream combined in one device, giving creators full control over how and where they share their content.

  • YoloBox Mini – Compact and travel-friendly

Read the full video transcript below:


Hello everybody. My name is James. I am a video production specialist here at video guys. It is Wednesday and we are live at one o'clock. We had some technical difficulties yesterday with our stream so we wanted to just try again today and so we are broadcasting to both YouTube and Facebook on uh video guys. Um, as always, if you have any questions about anything that we talk about today, absolutely feel free to give us a call at 800 3232325 or feel free to comment down below, whether you're watching on Facebook or YouTube. Uh, we put together a bundle with the Yolo Box Ultra and a SanDisk uh, Creator Series 256 GB uh, card. And we talk about the Yolo boxes a lot on this show. And I wanted since we put this bundle together, I wanted to kind of walk through what you can do with the storage and pairing it with a Yolo box Ultra. Now, before we get into our demo, I do want to just let everybody know that we have uh all of the Yolo Boxes still available. Everything from the Yolo Box Mini to the Yolo Box Pro to the Yolo Box Ultra and the uh newest system, the Yolo Box Extreme. Um, if you need help finding out the right YOLO box for your workflow, give us a call and we can help find the right one for your workflow. So, like I said, we put together a bundle where we are bundling the Yolo Live Yolo Box Ultra with a SanDisk Creator Series 256 GB SD card. Now, quick overview of what the Yolo Box is. It is a monitor, recorder, encoder, um, allin-one. It is a portable system. Uh it's a tablet. It's about 8 in across. Um and it's designed to be able to, you know, have all of your live streaming uh necessities on the go to be able to do your streams. There are four HDMI inputs on the Yolo Box Ultra. Um there is one HDMI output. That one HDMI output can be either your master program feed or it can be your multiv- view layout. um if you wanted to connect that to a larger monitor to be able to um you know just have a bigger screen to see everything that's going on on your ole box. Um it has two USBA inputs and then it has one USBC input. Uh these can be used for external storage. These can be used for webcams. Um these can also be used for cellular data for modems if you wanted to go down that route. It has an 8 in screen on it and uh it has the ability to do ISO recording. It has the ability to do program recording. It has the ability to do um live replays uh multicam replays. Um and also this is the only Yolo box that can do either vertical streaming or horizontal streaming. Um so it's basically a Yolo box and an instream combined. Um it has a gigabyte Ethernet port on it. It also is compatible with Wi-Fi and again you can use cellular data with either the 4G LTE SIM card slot or USB modems. Um, one thing that I didn't mention in the inputs is that the Olbox Ultra also has the ability to input up to three NDI HX sources connected to it um, after you purchase the onetime $99 license. So you can have the four HDMI inputs, up to two USB inputs, and up to three NVI inputs. all connected to the Yobo Box at the same time. Now, included in this bundle is also the uh 256 GB SanDisk Creator Series SD card um which I have right here. Um one of the cool things about these cards and all of the SanDisk Creator Series is that they are this very distinct um blueish color. Um, and the way that SanDisk is, uh, basically talking about these cards are they are specifically designed for creators such as yourself. Um, you know, a lot of the times you don't want to have to worry about, okay, is the read and the right speed going to be fast enough for my workflows. SanDisk is saying if you see this blue color whether it's their uh hard drives, their SD cards, their micro SD cards, um basically it will work for your um you know your 1080 and 4K workflows without any uh hassle. This card specifically has 280 megabits per second of read and write speed sustain, which is more than enough to be able to record again a 4K workflow. And that's something else that the Yoloax Ultra does do. It can stream and record up to 4K 30. Um, so again, as for HDMI inputs, you have ISO recording, which we're going to get to in a moment here. When compared, obviously to the Yolo Box Pro, it has a stronger GPU. It has the ability to use cellular bonding. Again, you can use uh USB modems in the USB slot. Plus, it has that 4G LTE SIM card slot. You can stream and record up to 4K30. With the NDI HX license, you can um input up to three NDIHX sources. It has a bigger battery than the Yoloax Pro and uh you can stream and uh have the device on up to six hours and then it has a bigger and brighter screen. Now, we're talking about what you can do with the SanDisk Creator Series 256 GB SD card with the Oolbox Ultra. And one of the things is you can record on the Olbox Ultra. Now, there are a couple different ways that you can record on the Oolbox Ultra. Um, and depending on what frame rate and resolution that you are recording at will determine how many sources you can record. At the most, you can record up to four HDMI inputs or NDI inputs if you have the uh NDI upgrade. Um, and one program recording uh at 108030p. As you increase your frame rate or resolution, the number of sources that you can record is going to lower all the way down to if you want to record at full 4K 30, um, you can record up to three inputs total. So, you can record one 4K30 input and uh three, excuse me, four inputs total. One 4K 30 input and then the other three have to be at 108030. If you want to record one 4K30 input and have a 108060p recording, um you can have up to two. So, you can have one 4K 30 and one 1080. Um but if you record everything at 108030, you can record up to five sources including your program. um or and then a mix and match of either HDMI, NDI, USB inputs. Now, I will show you exactly how easy that is to set up on our Yolo Box Ultra here. So, what I want to first show off is, and again, I forgot to turn this camera on. Um, as you can see, I have my two HDMI sources here, but if I wanted to add another source, uh, especially the NDI source, I'm going to show you exactly how easy it is to do that. So, I'm going to click on the add video source button. And I have already set up the NDI license on our YoloBox Ultra here. So, I'm going to click on add NDI source. And what the Yolo box is doing now is scanning our network uh for all of our NDI sources. And currently, we have couple PTC optics cameras connected to our network. We have a Kil View N60. Our tririccaster is connected to our network. So, you can see all of those screens as well. Uh but what I want to do right now is I'm just going to add our top down camera and then I will add uh one more camera just so you can see you know it is very easy to add these NDI sources and then mix and match them with your um your other HDMI or USB sources. Now that I have a bunch of different cameras connected to our Yolo Box uh Ultra here, I'm going to slide on this bar on the bottom right here, and I'm going to go over to the record tab. Now, as you can see, this is where you can choose what frame rate and resolution you want to record at. Um, I have this set up at 1080p, 30 frames per second, and as you can see, I can record up to five inputs. I have my four cameras plus my program. And I let's say I just want to record uh our top down shot here and our main uh camera HDMI camera plus our program feed. I can also choose my frame rate which I have it set to 30 fps. You can choose your end code format either H.264 or H.265. H.265 is going to compress that file even more so you save space. Um one of the cool things is you can also set recording limits when you are doing your recording. So, you can record 10, 20, 30, 60, or continuously. Uh, when you set it to continuously, basically, the um the YOLO box will record all of those inputs until you run out of storage. Um, so I'm just going to leave it at 10 minutes just just for the demo's sake. Um, and here under storage settings, that's where you can choose where it's going to send uh that footage, where it's going to record to. In our case, we're recording to that SanDisk Creator Series, but again, you could record to an external hard drive if you had one connected to it. And this is where you would choose that. So, now that I have my three um sources selected, all I need to do in order to start recording is on the main program feed here, you can see in the top right it says record. and I'm going to choose to start recording at 1080p 30 frames per second and it's going to record directly to our SD card. So now I'm going to hit start. And as you can see that um record light in the top right is blinking which means it is recording right now. And if I hit the record again, it's going to ask me if I want to stop recording. I can say yes or done. And um then after just a a moment or so um it will write that footage to the SD card. Um and then you can take that SD card out, you can plug it into a computer and you can access all of those files. Now there are different things that you can do with these recordings. Um let's say in a house of worship example, um you know that your pastor is going to be making a long sermon and you want to make a highlight reel of that sermon. Well, you can record just the camera that is going to be pointed at the pastor and then after the sermon ends, you can, you know, download that footage, put it onto a computer, and then you can edit that, shrink it down to a highlight reel, one to two minutes, put it on YouTube shorts, put it on uh Facebook shorts, wherever you want to put that footage, and you can you can do that. The other thing that you can do when you are recording your main master program is that's a backup. A lot of people will say, "Well, I'm streaming to Facebook or YouTube. I'll have my main master program there." Well, what happens if Facebook goes down for the day or YouTube or your house of worship is experiencing internet connection uh issues and you're not able to get a smooth stream to Facebook or YouTube. Well, now you can have that entire service with all of your cuts and edits baked right into that SD card and then you can post on Facebook and say, "Hey, you know, we had a little bit of issue streaming to Facebook today. We're going to upload the entire service and here it is." Um, so you don't have to worry about that. So having that physical backup is always a good idea. The other thing that you can do with recording on the Yolo Box Ultra is you can do multicam replays. Now, these are going to be especially important for um if you're doing some kind of sporting event and you want to be able to replay that footage. And again, it's really easy to set up. You can choose between uh 1080 and 720p um resolutions, and then you can choose the replay speed. And you can also add like an intro or an outro if you have a video added to it. So again, all I'm going to do is I'm going to slide on this bottom piece here. I'm going to choose the option to the left of the record button. And now you can see that I have my replay. Um I have my You can choose uh your what sources you want to be able to replay. Let's say in this example, I'm going to want to replay with Adam over there. And I'm going to turn on the replay. From here, you can choose your replay settings. Um, you can choose your replay playback speed. It can be all the way from 0.25x all the way up to 2x speed. Um, and then you can decide if you want to have audio included in that. You can choose your frame rate, your resolution, um, and all of that good stuff. So, now that I have my replay selected, I can, what it's going to do is I have it set to 10 seconds. So, what it's going to do is as soon as I hit the replay button on uh our YOLO box here, it's going to say that the uh the replay has been generated. And what it will do is it will then play back that last 10 seconds or you can store it onto that SD card and play it whenever you want. And as you can see now, it is replaying at very slow speed, Adam waving at us um with the instant replay. And all of this is capable by having a uh storage device connected to the Yolo box. And it's very easy to set up your recordings for your program and your ISO recording. And it's very easy to set up these instant replays as well. Now, what can you do in terms of uploading content from the SD card to the Yolo Box? Well, there's tons of different things that you can do. You can add images. You can add graphics and overlays. You can add pre-anned videos. You can add PDFs. And you can add animated elements like uh GIFs. Now, I will show you how to upload all of these. Um all of these except for an animated GIF. I didn't I didn't find one to upload, but I'll show you how to upload an image. An image is very easy to upload as well. So, again, if I want to go to add video source, I'm going to select images. And now I have my SD card connected to the uh the Yolo Box Ultra. and I have already uploaded some images. So, let's say I want to upload this Yolo box ultra stats uh page. Now, that will show up as one of my sources on my YOLO box and I can click on that and it will bring up that image full screen. Now, in terms of graphics and overlays, we'll go back over, you know, we we'll take Adam off the screen. We'll have myself on the screen here. Um now, let's say um I wanted to add some kind of graphic. Let's say I want to add our uh our video guys logo to this this frame here. So, instead of adding it as a video source, I'm going to slide over to my layers tab and I'm going to hit the plus, the red plus on the bottom there. And then I'm going to simply choose images. And as you can see again, I have our SD card. I have some PGs uploaded to it already. I'm going to click on video guys. And as you can see, it brings it up on the screen. Maybe I don't like that one because it's a little hard to read. Let's see if the white one looks better. Ah, that's much better. You can choose the scale and then you can choose the position for that as well. So, I want it in that bottom left there. And I select done. And now that will show up in my overlays tab. And if I click on that, it will fade onto the screen just like that. And you can do this with uh PGs, you can do this with GIFs, um any any kind of source that you want connected um on your Yolo Box. All you have to do is upload it to the Yolo box uh uh to the SD card and then connect the SD card. Um in terms of videos, if you want to add a video, it's very easy. Again, you click on add video source. I'm going to select video. And as you can see, there's all of our recorded uh videos that we took um just a few minutes ago. And uh I also had some videos that were uh some of our product spotlights um uploaded to that SD card. And let's say I want to add this YOLO box uh YOLO deck product spotlight. And now under video, you can see there it is. It's playing off of that SD card. And uh you can scrub through this. You can make it full screen. Uh you can do whatever you want with this video. So if you have to play some commercials or something like that during your sporting event or um whatever event you're doing that super easy to add video to your production. The last thing that I want to show you is how to upload a PDF. Let's say you're doing a presentation um in some kind of corporate event and you want to upload your PDF. So again, I'm going to go to my ad video source. I'm going to select PDF. And what I happen to find here is I ended up just putting the Yolo Box Ultra's uh uh manual, product manual on here. One of the cool things is when you are uploading a PDF, as you can see, there's the little arrows on the screen now. and I can actually choose what page I want to be on in that PDF. So again, it's just uploading it and then it's as if you're, you know, let's say opening up a PowerPoint presentation and now you can scroll through those at whatever pace you need and then go, oh, I want to go back to this camera. Oh, they're talking about something that's on that slide again. I can switch to that. And you can even set up some multi- views as well. Um, so very easy to set that up. And it's the same thing for the animated gifts. You would just add it as a video source or as a graphical overlay. Let's say you want to have like a little animation of like a subscribe button. Um, you can upload that to your overlays and then just have that appear on your screen as well. Now, we mentioned this at the top of the show that the Yolo Box is the Yolo Box Ultra is basically like the Yolo Box um and the Instream uh had a baby. And so, the Yolo Box Ultra can stream to your normal Facebook, YouTube, um LinkedIn, Twitch, any of those horizontal uh streaming video platforms. Um, but then you also have the ability to stream to a vertical platform such as Tik Tok or uh maybe YouTube shorts or Facebook shorts or Instagram. Um, you can directly do that and I'll show you really quickly how to do that on uh the Yolo Box here as well. So, I'm currently in monitor mode on our Yolo Box here and I'm going to exit monitor mode. And then now what you can see is you can choose either live streaming which will be your uh horizontal framing or you can choose vertical framing and that's going to be for again uh Tik Tok, Instagram, any of your vertical video uh platforms. But we'll just stay in uh monitor mode to be able to show you um what's going on in my little demo here. Again, you have tons of different inputs and outputs that you can record with the uh the Yolo Box Ultra. Your four HDMI inputs that can all go up to 4K 30. You have your two USBA inputs, one USBC input. You can have local videos uploaded from an SD card right onto it. Same thing with images, um PDFs. You can also use uh an RTMP as a source being sent to the Yolo Box. Of course, that's going to have a little bit more delay. Um, and again, with the one-time $99 license, you can have up to three NDI HX sources being connected to the Oolbox. And what you can actually do with that as well is have your master program feed be sent back onto your network, which is pretty cool. Um, and then also you can have one SRT input um, ingested into the OBOX Ultra, and that's going to have very low latency. Um, and that's how they do a lot of like news presentations. They'll send an SRT fee to um, your production. Now, we're talking, we talked about also at the top of the show that we do have the entire range of Yolo boxes available, including the Yolo Box Extreme. Yolo Box Extreme allows you to have eight HDMI inputs. Um, five of those are going to be 4K 60. The remaining three are going to be 108060. Um, you have two HDMI outputs instead of one. Um, one of them can be your main master program, one of them can be a preview program, or it actually has the ability to change what the uh output's going to be. You have two USBAs, one USBC uh for inputs. The uh second USBC is going to be power, just like on the Yolo Box Ultra. The Olbox Extreme has an even bigger screen at 11.2 in, and that is a 2.5K screen. Uh, one thing that separates the Ultra and the Extreme is that the Extreme can actually record all of its inputs, um, and does have the director mode, but it does have the same gigabyte Ethernet, Wi-Fi, um, and, uh, 4G LTE um, compatibility. Now, I'm going to quickly just go through these uh to talk about uh some of the features that are available on the Extreme. And a lot of these are also available on the Ultra, including the overlays. Just like in that demo that I just showed you on the Olbox Ultra and the Olbox Extreme, you can upload overlays. Also, just like on the Olbox Ultra, the Olbox Extreme has the ability to multiream to three platforms at the same time uh for no extra cost. The Olavox Extreme does have the ability to have that customized multi- view out. That's not available on the Ultra. You can you can just choose between um preview and um uh full program output. Both of them do have the ability to do 4K recording and streaming. The Olbox Ultra can record and stream up to 4K 30. The Olbox Extreme can record up to 4K60. Both of them have the uh remote caller feature where you can send a link to um an email link to a guest, have them join as if they were joining a team's call or a Facebook call, and now all of a sudden you have their video feed as a source on your Yolo Box. Both of them have the ability to use web URL overlays. Um, we're big fans of Flowix here at Video Guys and you can use those more advanced graphics with the Olbox Ultra and the Olbox Extreme. You can have video follow audio and vice versa, audio follow video, um, which just makes your switching a little bit smoother if you are using, you know, onboard uh, cameras. And then both of them also have the ability to do uh, chroma key, which is great. Last thing that I want to talk about is the Olavox Pro. This is still available as well. Uh, the Olbox Pro has three HDMI inputs, one HDMI output. It has an 8 in screen on it. The Yolo Box Pro can only record the master program feed. Um, and just like the other ones, it has Wi-Fi, Ethernet, 4G, um, LTE, has a little bit smaller of a battery, so about 3 to four hours of continuous um, streaming uh, from a single battery charge. Uh the last thing that I want to talk about is the Yolo live yolo deck. Uh this is the control panel 15 button control panel that is available. Um this can be uh used with the Yolo box pro, the Yolo box ultra and the Yolo box extreme uh to you know simplify your your workflow. We do have a product spotlight on all of these devices. So definitely make sure to check out our YouTube channel where you can find um product spotlights on the Yolo Box Pro, the Olbox Ultra, the Yolo Box Extreme, and the Yolo Deck.

The last thing that I want to leave you with is just a quick overview chart of all of the Yolo boxes that are available. The Yolo Box Mini, Yolo Box Pro, Yolo Box Ultra, and Yolo Box Extreme. I'm going to ask Adam to bring this up full screen. Thank you. Now, we're not going to go through this whole chart.
