YoloDeck for YoloBox: A Smarter Way to Control Sports Live Streams

In this YouTube video from YoloLiv, the team introduces the YoloDeck, a dedicated hardware controller designed to improve live streaming workflows for users of the YoloBox Pro, YoloBox Ultra, and YoloBox Extreme. While the YoloBox touchscreen interface works well for many tasks, it can become challenging during fast-paced sports productions where operators must quickly access tools like scoreboards, replays, and overlays. YoloDeck solves this issue by providing customizable physical buttons that allow streamers to control key functions instantly without navigating multiple menus

Easy Setup and Customizable Controls

The video demonstrates how simple it is to connect YoloDeck to a YoloBox using a USB cable and enable it in the device’s settings. Once connected, users can configure the controller through a drag-and-drop interface that allows them to assign functions to a grid of 15 buttons per page. Multiple pages can be created, making it easy to organize controls for different aspects of a live production.

This flexibility allows users to design their own workflow, placing the most frequently used commands—such as scoreboard updates, replay controls, and overlays—directly on the hardware buttons for faster operation during live broadcasts.

Streamline Scoreboards, Replays, and Overlays

For sports streamers, YoloDeck makes managing live graphics and replays much easier. Operators can toggle the scoreboard display, control timers, and update scores for both teams with dedicated buttons. The controller also simplifies replay workflows, allowing users to capture replays, mark specific moments, play the most recent clip, or instantly stop playback.

YoloDeck can also manage up to ten overlays, enabling streamers to quickly display graphics, sponsor logos, or lower thirds during a broadcast. These overlays can be toggled on and off in real time, giving producers more control over their visual presentation.

Control Video Sources, Audio, and Transitions

Beyond graphics and replays, YoloDeck provides quick access to video source switching, PTZ camera presets, transition effects, and audio controls. Users can switch between up to ten video sources, adjust program and monitoring volume, trigger background music playback, and apply transitions such as fade or wipe between scenes.

The controller also allows operators to start or stop live streams and recordings directly from the deck, helping streamline production workflows and reduce the need to rely solely on the touchscreen interface.

Recommended YoloDeck Layouts for Sports Streaming

The video also highlights recommended button layouts based on feedback from sports livestreamers. In simpler setups, a single page can handle the three most important features: scoreboard controls, replay functions, and overlays. For more advanced productions, users can create multiple pages—dedicating one to scoreboards while placing video sources, audio controls, and transitions on another page.

By organizing controls based on frequency of use and grouping related functions together, streamers can operate their broadcasts more efficiently and avoid mistakes during critical moments.

A Powerful Upgrade for YoloBox Users

For sports broadcasters using YoloBox systems, YoloDeck provides a faster and more intuitive way to manage live productions. With customizable buttons, instant access to key features, and support for scoreboards, replays, overlays, and switching, the controller helps create smoother and more professional sports live streams.
