Q: Can this be used with Xplit on my desktop computer?

Hello RvaCountryFan, The Webcaster X2 is a standalone hardware streaming device. It captures an HDMI signal, for example from a camera, then connects to your network via Ethernet or WiFi to stream this out directly to Facebook or YouTube. It unfortunately does not connect to a computer with software for use. Hope this answers your question. Should you have further inquiries you may reach out to our Support Team at 1-877-599-6581 or at info@epiphan.com. Cheers, The Epiphan Team

Q: My computer has integrated graphics and no set gpu. whenever i stream, i get an encoder overload issues. would i get any errors with this?

My computer has VGA for video out. I bought an Ocean Matrix VGA to HDMI Pro Mini Converter to adapt it for the Webcaster. It’s been my experience so far that it would take a pretty powerful computer to compile your program video. My advice is buy a video switcher like the Roland V-1HD. I have 2 computers, a tablet, a smartphone, a webcam and an HD video camera in my studio and the Roland and Epiphan are working very well together. I know you didn’t ask me this but FYI, the best resolution for VOD on Facebook when using the Webcaster seems to be 360p. Good luck! :-)

Q: To be sure I understand; I can connect this wireless or hard line either one to my router?

Hello Drew, Yes the Webcaster X2 can be connected to a network through LAN, or configured with WIFI. Hope this helps answer your question. Should you have any other inquiries, you may reach the Support Team at 1-877-599-6581, or at info@epiphan.com. Cheers, The Epiphan Team

Q: Does this device connect to wi-fi through a hot spot or wi-fi direct, or could it be either?

Hello, The Webcaster X2 does not support Wi-Fi Direct. It only supports connecting to standard wireless access points such as a Wi-Fi router or Wi-Fi hotspot. We hope this helps answer your question! Epiphan Team
