Free companion camera app

Any phone becomes a wireless camera on the desk. iOS and Android, no charge per handset.

Backup recording on the phone

✓

Eight phones at once

✓

Remote cameras over the internetNew

A phone, a browser or another studio joins from anywhere; small in the wings, sharp on Preview, full quality the instant it is on air.

Pair a friend’s studio once, or hand out a 24-hour code by WhatsApp.

Remote cameras draw on credits in your dashboard, with a grace line that never cuts a running stream.

Every microphone recorded separately for the edit.

✓

Auto leveller

Catches the spike when somebody shouts or a singer belts a line, then lets go again.

✓

EnhanceNew

One switch: the face found and lit, the shadows opened, noise calmed, skin kept true — automatically, on every camera.

✓

Enhance for every skin toneNew

A face is lifted only as far as the light was short, with its colour carried up — never pushed to one grey.

✓

Skin-true balanceNew

The colour of the light is read off the skin and corrected there first: a green or magenta cast comes off the face.

✓

Virtual studio lightNew

The person lit, the room around them a touch darker — a studio light where there is none.

✓

Noise calmedNew

A dark camera’s grain calmed across time where nothing moves; a moving hand never smears.

A real pan, tilt or zoom — a PTZ head or an ordinary camera — moves the room with it.

✓

Measured roomNew

One measurement of the room and the presenter is placed at their real size, at their real distance.

Any number of ordinary cameras — a phone at the side of the room — follow the presenter across it; the set keeps them the right size and in the right place.

✓

Real shadow on the set (Max)New

The shadow you cast on the green screen is cast onto the set at the angle its light would throw it.

✓

Lit by the room (Max)New

The set’s light falls on the presenter and along their edge; the presenter takes their own shape in relief.
