Featuring Wi-Fi 5 and Gigabit Ethernet (accessible via USB-C), the ZATO CONNECT ensures robust network compatibility for streaming in various environments, whether in the field, studio, or on the go. Beyond its impressive connectivity capabilities, the device boasts a user-friendly AtomOS Lite software loaded with essential tools, making it highly accessible to both new and long-standing customers.

Ease of use is at the core of ZATO CONNECT’s design. The 5-inch touchscreen enables intuitive switching between sources and program stream monitoring. Its compact form factor makes it ideal for mounting on DSLR or mirrorless camera rigs and equally suited to sit alongside PCs, Macs, or gaming consoles. The comprehensive audio capabilities, including the ability to mix audio levels from HDMI, USB, and external mic/line inputs, add to its versatility. Furthermore, the ability to record livestreams as local H.264 backups offers additional creative opportunities such as streaming pre-recorded content “as live.”
