Make your online lectures and virtual events more engaging. Our USB Fusion hardware lets you easily combine cameras, screenshares and media file sources into attractive live presentations for remote education, webinars, live streaming, video conferencing and more.
Capture and Combine Sources
USB Fusion lets producers and presenters switch between multiple live and file-based sources, or to combine two inputs simultaneously into one output (picture-in-picture or side-by-side) for capturing into popular software via its USB 3.0 interface. USB Fusion offers two 1080p60 HDMI inputs plus one USB webcam input. It also supports wireless sharing input protocols including AirPlay®, Google Cast™ and Miracast™. Users can easily switch or combine sources via on-device buttons or the companion tablet app.
Engaging Presentations
Using the USB Fusion companion app, teachers and event hosts can create presentation playlists in advance and incorporate pre-recorded audio and other media files into their sessions. The app’s annotation tools can be used to mark up presentation materials, and the annotations can be exported to a file for sharing after the class or event. Users can also draw on the video in real-time like a telestrator. Sessions can also be recorded through the app to the USB Fusion hardware’s built-in storage for subsequent playback.
Simple Setup for Easy Deployment
Systems integrators can also remotely manage multiple USB Fusion devices via Magewell Cloud.
