This collaboration entails MVD handling the distribution of OBSBOT’s range of cameras for conferencing and content production across North America. This distribution includes exclusive rights to OBSBOT’s corporate products such as the new Tail Air, an AI-powered 4K PTZ streaming camera, and the acclaimed AI-based Tiny 2 webcam.

OBSBOT: Pioneering AI Camera Technology
Established in 2016 under Remo Technologies, OBSBOT is committed to forging connections between people and the imaging industry with groundbreaking technologies and creative products. The company’s latest leading product, the AI-powered Tail Air live streaming camera, is making waves in content creation circles by offering premium live streaming and recording capabilities coupled with unparalleled flexibility.

Tail Air: Cutting-Edge Camera Features
Tail Air boasts the ability to record in 4K resolution at 30 fps or in 1080p HD at 60 fps. Its enhanced 2-micrometer pixel size and sophisticated camera components allow it to capture brighter and more detailed images with minimal noise, even in low-light conditions. The camera’s advanced AI auto-tracking technology accurately follows people, animals, or objects. Additionally, time-of-flight technology boosts auto-focus performance in various lighting conditions. Tail Air also offers dynamic gesture control for remote recording operations and zoom adjustments. The camera is further equipped with Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) capabilities via a USB-C to Ethernet adapter, supports NDI® HX3 output for video-over-IP production workflows, and includes a smart remote control.

Integration and Compatibility
Beyond its standalone RTMP-based streaming capabilities through the OBSBOT Start app, Tail Air seamlessly integrates with Magewell’s Director Mini multi-camera production and streaming system, also exclusively distributed by MVD. Each Tail Air camera can be used as an HDMI (using a micro-HDMI to HDMI adapter) or NDI® HX3 source for the Director Mini, allowing comprehensive control over pan, tilt, and zoom through the system’s user interface.
