In this week’s News13 segment on KMSB Fox 11, we are sharing two products which can enable content creators and professionals engaged in virtual meetings for better looking and smooth video. First up, we share the Logitech Litra Beam, a lighting solution designed to meet the demands of modern video and photography setups. Its compact design makes it ideal for space-saving environments, while its powerful yet soft illumination enhances any video or photo scenario. What sets the Litra Beam apart is its versatility—it can be conveniently placed next to your monitor or mounted above it using the included tripod thread, ensuring optimal lighting for your content creation or virtual meetings.

Shifting our focus to streamlining workflows, we present the Elgato Stream Deck MK.2, a game-changer for streamers and anyone seeking efficient program management. With its great design and intuitive interface, the Stream Deck MK.2 simplifies the process of setting up and accessing frequently used programs. Whether you’re integrating it with OBS Studio, Wirecast, or utilizing it during Twitch streams or in a business environment opening Office and Websites, the Stream Deck MK.2 offers great convenience. By easily creating custom macros, users can instantly summon websites or programs with a simple press of a button, thanks to this USB-connected device adorned with easily recognizable icons. Priced at approximately $140, the MK.2 boasts 15 customizable keys, while the XL model ups the ante with 32 keys, catering to diverse workflow needs. Icon packets are available for a small fee at the ElGato marketplace however the users gets a good number to start with. While I wish the step by steps of creating the Macros was better explained there are a good number of video tutorials on the Company Website and independant on the Web.

Both the Litra Beam and the Elgato Stream Deck MK.2 aid the evolving needs of content creators and professionals alike. Whether you’re enhancing your video production setup with versatile lighting or streamlining your workflow with program management
