- 3 HDMI inputs, and all of those are standard hdmi. It goes up to 1080p 60fps, so you can get a high quality signal uh into the unit.
- 1 Usb port. You can plug a webcam into it so that it could act as a fourth camera source, or you could plug a keyboard and mouse into it.
- 1 Ethernet port. If you’re going to be doing an important live streaming definitely use a wired ethernet connection if possible.

- 1 SD card port. that’s where you will store different types of media you may want to integrate.
Software Startup Tips

- Chroma Key: It lets you quickly replace still images or video backgrounds behind your subject, allowing you to combine footage or swap out scenes.
Overall Impression
Over the past three weeks testing, we feel that YoloBox Pro is definitely a solid performer with a lot of room for growth, and a lot of interest by the manufacturer to make that growth happen and add new features to it.
It can’t replace a large production switcher with dozens of inputs and all sorts of complex multi-layered overlays . But in this sort of mobile space where you have non-technical people that are going to be the primary users , YoloBox Pro is an excellent fit.
