Is the GoStream Duet worth it for a solo streamer?

How many cameras and sources can it take?

It accepts four media sources across SDI and HDMI and drives two displays for multi-view and monitoring. It mixes 8 audio channels, with two 3.5 mm mic inputs.

Can it stream in portrait for TikTok?

Yes. It supports 9:16 portrait output for TikTok and Instagram alongside 16:9 for YouTube and Zoom, and can send to three platforms at once.

Does it need a computer to stream?

No. It encodes and streams on its own to RTMP destinations, and you can also control it from Mac or Windows software. The USB-C output can feed a computer if you prefer software encoding.
