Summary
Elgato is shifting its focus away from gaming with its new Neo line. The $99.99 Stream Deck Neo is the star of the show, essentially the command center for Elgato’s products. It has eight LCD keys that can be paired to automate tasks like turning on lights or joining video calls. Elgato’s latest line of Neo devices are aimed at people looking for something in between a basic webcam / microphone combination and the more high-end audio and video setup it’S typically known for. The $99.99 Facecam Neo webcam supports 1080p video at 60fps, includes an integrated privacy shutter, and can easily slot onto the top of a monitor or your laptop. The Wave Neo microphone has a raised desktop stand and a tap-to-mute feature and will also integrate into Elgato's more advanced Wave Link app. With just one exception, each product in the Neo lineup costs less than $100. Elgato is targeting people participating in online sales, video podcasts, events, product demonstrations, community building. “Neo really is a bet that this trend is going to keep accelerating,” says Fest. Elgato has a new Light Strip where the 160 LEDs are individually addressable. The teleprompter will soon have voice-based auto-scrolling, making it easy to read off of a script. “It can help unlock creativity,” he says. “That’s where we’ll invest and try to build.”
