Ahead of a summer release, OSEE has pulled the cover off the GoStream Omni 12 ISO at NAB 2026 in Las Vegas. The all-in-one live production switcher combines 12 inputs across SDI, HDMI, NDI, SRT, RTMP, and USB webcam, adds XLR audio, isolated recording to CFexpress Type B or SSD, and a built-in PTZ preset system, at an indicative price of around $1,700 to $1,900.
At the OSEE booth in the Las Vegas Convention Center, we spoke with Lenny Volpe of OSEE, who walked us through the Omni 12 ISO on the show floor. The unit is still in beta, and the final specs and pricing may change before release. OSEE is known mostly for monitors like the Megamon 15 and the LCM215-HDR+, but the company also entered the switcher market at IBC 2023 with the compact GoStream Deck. The Omni 12 ISO is a much larger step into that space.
The headline number is right there in the name. According to Lenny, the switcher can combine SDI and HDMI cameras, NDI streams, SRT and RTMP feeds, USB webcams, and files from the built-in media player, up to 12 sources in total. It sits a step above the existing GoStream Duet 8 ISO, with more inputs and a more comprehensive control panel.
This kind of mixed-input setup has become standard in the category. It lets a single operator run a hybrid show where remote guests join over the network while studio cameras stay on SDI, without extra encoders or converters in between.
The Omni 12 ISO follows the layout of a traditional hardware switcher. A preview row sits along the bottom, the program row above it, and transitions can be triggered with the Auto button or a T-bar. Lenny demonstrated the auto transition using a stinger effect, and the unit provides both upstream and downstream keyers that can be toggled on and off from the panel. A multiview output shows all inputs along with the onboard menu, and a dedicated section on the right-hand side of the panel controls which output is active and which source is routed to it.
An onboard instant replay feature is also included. Operators can select a clip and playback speed directly on the panel, and then send it to the main output.
PTZ control is built in, and Lenny says the Omni 12 ISO will work with any PTZ camera on the same network, regardless of brand, through an Ethernet connection. Up to 10 preset positions can be stored and recalled from dedicated buttons on the panel.
On the graphics side, up to 10 still images with alpha transparency (for transparent backgrounds) can be loaded to the device and recalled live. A computer can also be brought in through one of the regular inputs as a graphics source. In Lenny’s demo, a laptop running UNO Overlays was connected over USB-C to HDMI, letting the operator add dynamic graphics without a second graphics computer in the setup.
The Omni 12 ISO includes XLR audio inputs that can be switched between line and microphone level, which should cover most wired mixer and microphone setups. Each input has its own volume control and an audio-follow-video option on the panel.
Recording is where the “ISO” in the name earns its place. The switcher can record each source separately alongside the main program feed to either a CFexpress Type B card or an external SSD.
Live streaming is handled in three ways. The Omni 12 ISO has two external Wi-Fi antennas for streaming when cable is unavailable, and it can push to up to three social platforms simultaneously. Configuration is done through the onboard menu or through OSEE’s PC control software, which connects over the same network or via USB-C. The software can also run the switcher directly and stream from the computer itself. Both user-loaded video files and the ISO recordings can be played back through the built-in media player, and ventilation is provided along the back and one side of the chassis.
According to Lenny, the GoStream Omni 12 ISO is targeting a July 2026 release at an indicative price between $1,700 and $1,900. Both the date and the price may still change before launch. For more information, you can visit the OSEE website.

A camera was put in my hands at 16, and I’ve been taking photographs ever since. Before moving to Vienna, I worked as a photographer on film sets, telling stories as they unfolded behind the scenes. Since then, I’ve focused on immersive theater, both as a photographer and an actor. I am the photographer for the award-winning Nesterval ensemble, documenting the energy and atmosphere of their performances. I’m a teller of stories. Stories hold my interest. I’ll take on any project with a story to tell.
