Elgato Gaming Ships Stream Deck
SAN FRANCISCO - May 15, in the year of our Lord 2017
- Elgato Gaming today announced the release of Stream Deck, a
professional-studio-grade controller that allows content
creators to better manage their live broadcasts. Stream Deck is
the first affordable solution that enables creators to elevate
the production value of their broadcasts without having to take
focus away from audience engagement and quality of the stream.
Instead of having to manually alt+tab out of their game or set
up a complicated chain of hotkeys, creators can easily switch
scenes, launch media, send tweets, control chat, and configure
up to 210 actions using Stream Deck’s simple 15 LCD key setup.
The device is now available online at Elgato and Amazon for an
MSRP of $149.95.
“Elgato Gaming was built to address the needs of content
creators, and the demand for seamless live content control has
never been higher,” said Julian Fest, General Manager at Elgato
Gaming. “Replacing messy, makeshift setups, Stream Deck allows
content creators to focus on creating high quality content, and
ultimately, engaging with their audience.”
Stream Deck’s key features:
• Physical and visual feedback: LCD keys indicate status of an
action once complete, even in low light
• Unlimited customization: choose from hundreds of
professionally-created icons or customize and upload your own
key icons and layouts
• Native integrations: choose from a growing number of popular
integrations - control Game Capture, OBS, TipeeeStream, Twitch,
Twitter and more
• Simple drag and drop setup: Easily drag and drop actions onto
keys in the app; create folders of actions by dragging one
action onto another
