USB CAM Studio
GoMax For GoMax 10G / 5G USB 3 Professional Capture

Not just a capture driver.
A complete live-production studio.

USB CAM Studio turns your GoMax USB 3 capture box into a broadcast-grade production suite — multi-source compositing, an NDI switcher, AI auto-framing, professional video scopes, and deep device control that generic UVC apps simply cannot reach.

One application, the whole workflow

Everything from signal-in to stream-out

A single window replaces a stack of separate tools — capture utility, switcher, recorder, scope suite, and the vendor's register-level diagnostics.

🎥

Capture & Record

Hardware-accelerated H.264, HEVC & AV1 recording (NVENC / QSV / AMF, plus software SVT-AV1) with quality presets, snapshots, auto-record and a replay buffer.

🧩

Live Layout

Four overlay slots with chroma-key, borders, mirror & full-screen, plus scrolling captions, logo, and clock branding.

🎚️

NDI Switcher

Clickable multiviewer with PGM / PVW, TAKE & AUTO transitions, T-bar, and three independent NDI publishers.

🎬

ISO Recording

Record every angle to its own file — composed, raw HDMI, and each overlay source — for a clean multi-cam re-cut.

🤖

AI Production

People auto-framing with speaker focus, plus real-time privacy masking of people or sensitive objects — all on-device.

📡

Stream & Simulcast

Push RTMP / SRT to multiple destinations at once, each with its own quality target.

📊

Broadcast Scopes

Waveform, RGB parade, vectorscope, histogram, false-colour, goniometer, audio spectrum, LUFS & level meters — all live.

🔧

Device Control

HDMI / HDCP status, EDID read & write, USB link diagnostics and the full supported-mode table — register-level hardware access unique to GoMax.

🔄

Firmware Update

Flash a new signed firmware image to the capture device's on-board flash — from the app itself, with version read-out, live progress and safety checks. No separate vendor utility.

Capture & Record

Studio-grade capture, zero friction

Plug in, press Play, and you are recording broadcast-quality video with the encoder your PC accelerates best.

The capture cockpit

  • One-press transport — Play, Stop, Snapshot and Record, with a live recording-state indicator and duration timer.
  • H.264 / HEVC / AV1 — pick your codec; it auto-selects the best hardware encoder (NVENC / Quick Sync / AMF) and falls back to software (x264 / SVT-AV1), with HQ / Balanced / Small presets.
  • Live stats overlay — real frame-rate, dropped frames, end-to-end latency and recording bitrate at a glance.
  • Smart filenames — templates with {resolution} and date tokens; per-device capture-format memory.
  • Colour controls — brightness, contrast, saturation and hue applied live in the capture pipeline.
Capture tab

Output everywhere at once

  • Virtual webcam — appears in Zoom, Teams, Meet and OBS as a normal camera, overlays and AI baked in.
  • Replay buffer — keep the last seconds rolling and save the highlight with one key.
  • Auto-record & auto-stop — start on stable signal, stop after a set duration — perfect for unattended capture.
  • Multi-track audio — keep HDMI and mic on separate tracks for a clean edit later.
  • Test-pattern injection — SMPTE bars and more for rig set-up without a live source.

Live Layout & Compositing

Build the shot, live

Combine your HDMI feed with up to four picture-in-picture sources and full on-screen branding — no second machine required.

Four overlay sources, full control

  • Any source — media files, additional USB cameras, or a desktop / screen capture in each of four slots.
  • Per-slot styling — free position & size, coloured borders, horizontal mirror, and full-screen takeover.
  • Chroma key — drop a green screen per slot with adjustable colour and threshold.
  • Per-slot audio — enable and gain each source into the composed mix.
Layout with overlays

Branding & scene presets

  • Scrolling caption — a broadcast ticker with colour, speed and background.
  • Logo & clock — corner logo and live clock with configurable position and style.
  • Scene rotation — cycle full-screen scenes automatically with cut or fade transitions.
  • Six presets — store complete layouts and recall them instantly with Ctrl+1…6.
Branding controls
Multiviewer, Switcher & NDI

A vision mixer inside your capture app

Preview every source, cut or dissolve to program, and publish Program, Preview and the full multiviewer as NDI sources on your network.

Program / Preview switching

  • Clickable multiviewer — every source as a live tile with audio VU bars.
  • TAKE & AUTO — hard cut or timed transition, plus a draggable T-bar for manual dissolves.
  • Tally — program / preview state pushed to NDI sources.
  • Three NDI outputs — Program, Preview and MultiViewer published independently for downstream tools (vMix, OBS, TriCaster).
Multiview NDI tab

ISO recording — every angle, separately

  • Per-source files — record composed, raw HDMI, and each overlay source to its own MP4.
  • Embedded audio — each ISO carries the right audio bus, honouring per-slot enable & gain.
  • Editor-ready — re-cut the show afterwards from any camera angle.

AI Production

An operator that never blinks

On-device inference keeps the talker framed and scrubs sensitive content — baked into preview, recording, stream and virtual cam alike. Load any YOLO model (.pt or .onnx); it runs on its own thread, so the 60 fps pipeline never stalls.

AI · Person — auto-framing that follows the room

  • Auto-framing — detects people and keeps them centred and correctly sized, widening to a group frame when more than one subject is in shot.
  • Speaker focus — when a mic goes active the frame eases in on the person talking, then pulls back to the wide group shot when they stop.
  • Detection overlay — boxes, labels and confidence, plus pose skeletons with a pose model and segmentation masks with a seg model, picked up automatically.
  • Everywhere — the framed result is baked into recording, stream and virtual cam, not just the screen.
AI Person auto-framing

AI · Object — privacy masking, baked in

  • Pick what to redact — choose any class from a live COCO list: people, phones, laptops, TVs, printed material.
  • Blur or black-box — every matching detection is masked in real time with a Gaussian blur or a solid box.
  • Into the bytes, not just the screen — masking is written into recording, stream, virtual cam and replay — never a preview-only overlay that leaks downstream.
  • Made for meetings & classrooms — auto-redact bystanders, phone screens and monitors before they ever leave the machine.

Video Analysis

A video analysis tool, built in

Pop the live image into its own window and hover anywhere — a companion read-out lists the exact value of every pixel under the cursor. The kind of probe you'd reach for a rack analyzer to get, sitting right on your USB capture.

Pixel-value read-out listing per-pixel hex values over a colour-bars capture

A pixel probe, not just a preview

  • Per-pixel hex read-out — hover the picture and an 8 × 6 grid shows the 8-bit value of every pixel under the cursor, with its exact column and row coordinates.
  • R/G/B or Y/Cb/Cr, automatically — labelled to match your capture format: R/G/B for MJPEG, Y/Cb/Cr for raw NV12 / YUYV — so you read the numbers in the space you actually shoot in.
  • Pin-point sampling — a crosshair marks the exact pixel on the live video; the values sit in a separate window that never covers the picture.

Made for the bench

  • Verify reference levels — read colour-bar values, hunt black-level and clipping, confirm a source is sending legal levels — straight off the feed.
  • Pop-out preview — detach the live image into a resizable window, fullscreen it onto a second monitor or projector, close it when you're done.
  • Second-screen ready — park the read-out window wherever you like; it stays out of the picture and refreshes live as the video moves.
Deep Device Control — the GoMax difference

Control the hardware, not just the stream

Built directly on the GoMax capture device's control interface, USB CAM Studio exposes hardware controls that OBS, PotPlayer and VLC can never reach through a generic UVC driver.

HDMI, EDID & signal insight

  • Live source signal — resolution, refresh, colour space, HDCP state and HDR metadata read straight from the chip.
  • EDID read & write — inspect, save, and upload a custom EDID over DDC with an HPD toggle to force re-negotiation.
  • Capability reporting — exactly what the source advertises, decoded.
HDMI tab

USB, modes & firmware

  • USB link diagnostics — confirm 5 Gbps vs 10 Gbps negotiation and full descriptor identity.
  • Supported-mode table — every UVC resolution / format / rate the device offers, selectable.
  • On-device firmware update — flash a new signed firmware image to the capture device's SPI flash directly from the app, with installed-version read-out, live progress, a full log and safety guards — no vendor flasher, no separate utility.
  • Genuine-device gate — verifies GoMax VID/PID and the on-chip MCU signature so premium features unlock only on authentic hardware.
Device tab

On-device firmware update

  • Installed-firmware read-out — chip variant, customer version and system info, read straight from the device.
  • One-click flash — load a signed image and write it to the chip's SPI flash with live progress, a full log and brick-proofing guards.
  • No vendor utility — keep, audit and roll out firmware from the same app you capture with; no separate flasher tool.
