Q: 1. Can I stream direct to facekook live without downloading any extra software (OBS) does it run on it's own software?

A: Unfortunately, the output from the Roland V-02HD MK II Multi-Format Video Mixer with Streaming uses the USB-C port, which will produce a streaming signal without the need for an additional encoder when connected to a computer, but this cannot be done without a computer.

Q: 2. Has there been a firmware update so that the preview can show both cameras?

Q: 3. I have an Atomos Blade and Flame. It works with the Flame but not the Blade. Why is that?

A: The Atomos Ninja Blade does not accept a signal at 1080p60. The Atomos Ninja and Shogun Flame modeles do accept that signal. You should be able to use this product with the Ninja Blade, but you will need to have the switcher set to 1080i or 720p.
