Magewell has dramatically expanded the input source possibilities of its exceptionally flexible USB Fusion video capture and mixing hardware with new support for popular wireless content sharing technologies. The award-winning hardware and accompanying app let users easily combine cameras, wired or wireless screenshares, and media file sources into visually compelling live presentations for streaming, live event production, video conferencing and other applications.
USB Fusion enables producers to switch between multiple live and file-based sources, or to combine inputs in picture-in-picture or side-by-side layouts. The results can be captured into popular Windows, Mac or Linux software via the hardware’s USB 3.0 interface or output over HDMI to a projector, display or downstream production equipment. The device is ideal for houses of worship that wish to combine camera signals and supporting visuals—such as lyrics displayed from a separate laptop—into a single feed for software-based live streaming.
On-device buttons and a browser-based web interface provide easy operation and configuration, while the free USB Fusion companion app for iOS and Android tablets offers expanded layout controls and advanced presentation tools ranging from playlists, background music and recording to annotations and real-time on-screen drawing.
With an upcoming new firmware update, USB Fusion supports wireless casting protocols including AirPlay, Google Cast and Miracast, enabling easy sharing of content from Apple, Android, Windows, and Chromebook devices. Up to four simultaneous wireless sources can be combined in a screencast scene layout, which can then be switched with USB Fusion’s dual 1080p60 HDMI inputs, USB webcam input, and media file sources.
The wireless sharing upgrade is the third significant USB Fusion feature expansion in the past few months, joining other recent enhancements including user-defined mapping of scene layouts to on-device buttons; enhanced graphics tools; the ability to control PowerPoint presentations on a connected computer; scheduled recording and more.
