VS-R265 and VS-R264 offer an easy and efficient way to stream your videos to YouTube Live in Full HD or 4K without needing a separate computer*. These hardware encoders/decoders are extremely powerful and they are compatible with multiple streaming platforms and protocols (even in parallel). Once everything is set up, all you have to do is plug in your camera via HDMI and press STREAM to start streaming right away.

While a computer quickly reaches its limits when it comes to high-resolution streaming, the Tascam VS series was designed specifically for this task. The result is flawless operation even over several hours.

Both models can also record the stream at the same time, making them the ultimate solution for those who not only want to share their content with the world, but also archive it.
