Hollyland Announces New VenusLiv V2 Live Streaming Camera

The VenusLiv V2 live streaming camera offers new tap-to-go-live features on social media and e-commerce platforms and convenient image processing functions. The gadget aims to provide ordinary streamers with an unprecedented wearable experience to create professional streaming.

Hollyland has announced the launch of a new version of live streaming cameras to provide a convenient “Go Live with One Tap” experience. The release of VenusLiv V2, the successor to Hollyland’s VenusLiv live streaming camera family, aims to help users who desire a more exceptional live streaming performance without the need for professional camera skills.

VenusLiv V2 is an easy-to-use solution that does not require complicated cable connections or professionals to navigate the entire setup process, which can greatly help MCN agencies reduce equipment and labor costs. It is ideal for streamers who need simple and quick implementation and longer streaming sessions, ideal for influencers, MCN live sales, Twitch Just Chatting and Music channels or behind-the-scenes filming.

As easy as one touch, even for amateurs

With pre-installed live streaming apps, VenusLiv V2 enables one-touch streaming to popular platforms such as Twitter, Shopee, Tokopedia, Instagram, and Facebook, etc. It is the improved version of Hollyland’s first live streaming camera, VenusLiv V1.

A unique feature of the V2 is that it allows for quick image overlays, so even beginners can edit photo content with creativity and ease. Another outstanding feature of the green screen allows streamers to instantly remove the background and switch to virtual scenes whenever necessary, allowing for a more immersive experience for the audience.

Iris Chen, R&D Manager of Hollyland’s camera line, noted, “We noticed that before the VenusLiv, there was no camera specialized in the live streaming market. Now, we are excited to release the VenusLiv V2, which can compete with professional-quality cameras but is easier to use even for casual streamers.”

Paying attention to lighting and color details

Managing a professional streaming studio or stage with good lighting can be a headache for streamers without a team. Now it’s a given with VenusLiv V2. Users can now use pre-defined lighting modes (Auto, 2-point, 3-point), simplifying the lighting and setup process.

VenusLiv V2 has powerful RGB curves and fast adjustment to produce more natural-looking images of human faces, objects and backgrounds. The built-in facial recognition system can automatically capture facial images and brighten the complexion, making the person become vividly real.

Netherlands‘a strong engineering team has done a great deal of design work to avoid excessive filtering, which can beautify the human face but reduce the original texture and tones. For example, when broadcasting a fashion show live, VenusLiv V2 can deliver faithful images with details of fabrics and jewelry as if viewed by the naked eye on site.

Easy connection, multiple ports

While traditional cameras struggle to connect to other devices like laptops, the VenusLiv V2 simplifies the connection. With a built-in capture card and a UVC-enabled USB-C port for streaming directly with a single cable, there’s no need to install any additional hardware.

VenusLiv V2 has a built-in sound card and supports easy adjustment of high, medium and low reverb and other sound effects. It also supports various audio-video transmission ports, including 3.5mm and HDMI, as well as other audio-video transmission ports.

VenusLiv V2 has an additional Ethernet port in addition to Wi-Fi connections.

Improved interactive experience

The VenusLiv V2 has a 5-inch rotating touchscreen so users can check commentary in real time during live broadcasts.

The camera uses a high-quality 4K lens with 12MP effective pixels, f/1.2 aperture (equivalent to f/6.3 on a full-frame camera), 80-degree field of view, a minimum focusing distance of just 0.5m and edge distortion of less than one percent, ensuring sufficient image fidelity for streaming the highest quality 4K30P. With 6x zoom capabilities combining 3x optical zoom and 2x digital zoom, VenusLiv V2 allows users to capture clear and sharp scenes.

This live streaming camera has an advantage over a smartphone mainly due to its intricate heat dissipation design, which allows for uninterrupted 24/7 streaming without the risk of overheating. It offers the option of using NP-F batteries or a DC power supply.

Self-developed HollyOS

While the VenusLiv V2 has a solid hardware design that supports versatile features, the proprietary Hollyland HollyOS software is essential to keep the gadget running smoothly.

HollyOS provides a smooth user experience with the design of 8-core CPU, HPC GPU, ISP and DSP processors. The system makes it easy to master professional camera skills, such as adjusting exposure compensation, ISO, white balance, aperture and more. Hollyland is constantly improving HollyOS to improve user experience.

With its proprietary image processing algorithm, the camera delivers smooth live streaming while improving image quality, clarity, and color reproduction.
