Most important feature - real-time stitching from two fisheyes into equirectangular format. It's strongly needed if you want to stream on Youtube. Unfortunately, Insta360 EVO and X2 does not support onboard stitching. Native Insta360 application can do stitching, but resolution is limited on 1280s. CosmoViewerNG can do stitching in 4K resolution (3840x1920) up to 60 FPS, but powerfull graphics card is needed for encoding stitched video in H264 codec. For example, my GTX 1650 SUPER is well fast for do stitching. | |||

Real-time panorama stitching
!!! NVidia graphics card ONLY!
Most important feature - real-time stitching from two fisheyes into equirectangular format. It's strongly needed if you want to stream on Youtube. Unfortunately, Insta360 EVO and X2 does not support onboard stitching. Native Insta360 application can do stitching, but resolution is limited on 1280s. CosmoViewerNG can do stitching in 4K resolution (3840x1920) up to 60 FPS, but powerfull graphics card is needed for encoding stitched video in H264 codec. For example, my GTX 1650 SUPER is well fast for do stitching.
