A really good price if you want audio routing, XLR, and basic commandsīut nothing about the Live Streamer Nexus is a deal-breaker for me. It takes a moment for the light indicators around each source to update with the correct volume as you adjust the knob, for example. And latency is a problem for a lot of its functions. But it takes about a second for the button to activate the mute. I tried to set up a cough button, because pushing the mic knob is a bit loud. And that’s not great when in a live environment. I’m optimistic that AVerMedia will continue improving the capability of the Nexus as a control panel, but you should only buy the device based on what it can do today. The Stream Deck has an option for fading in/out audio from your soundboard, and you can program buttons to send messages to Twitter or your YouTube chat. And that shows when you compare it against the rookie Nexus. The appeal of the hardware is undeniable, but Elgato has spent years building out support for the Stream Deck. That is something you need to dedicate a button to on Elgato’s hardware.īut where AVerMedia comes up short is in software. For example, the touchscreen makes it easy to swipe to a different set of buttons and options. And in many other ways, I prefer the Nexus over the Stream Deck. But unlike the Stream Deck, the Nexus supports large widgets so you can place your Twitch or YouTube chat right on the secondary display.
So like with the Stream Deck, I have one screen set up so I can mute all audio and switch between three scenes. At launch, Nexus has hotkeys and widgets built in to control the Nexus, AVerMedia’s own RECentral, OBS Studio, YouTube, Twitch, Spotify, and StreamLabs OBS. And that is handy because you can do a lot with this Stream Deck alternative.
The 5-inch IPS display has great viewing angles. What really sets the Nexus apart from the GoXLR is the large, programmable touchscreen.
Live Streamer Nexus is your command center
You can push in any of those knobs to mute the source. It has an array of knobs for adjusting its various audio channels. Other important features of the Nexus include an XLR audio jack.
