While
improvements in camera-phone technology have resulted in our mobile devices
gradually replacing clunky single-purpose digital cameras, most heavy editing
and production still needs to be done on desktops. This is also true for live
video, which frequently requires a full combining board and production
facilities.
Enter
Switcher Studio, a mobile production suite that enables you to use an iDevice
with regard to live video mixing as well as production.
In its
simplest form, Switcher Studio enables you to record HD video in the built-in
camera on your own iDevice, which can possibly be recorded and modified, or
streamed live straight to sites like YouTube, Ustream, as well as Twitch.
But,
the magic happens whenever you enter Director Mode. This really is when you
disable video recording in your main mixing device (probably a good iPad), and
wirelessly connect as much as 4 other iOS products, all which can supply as
video sources.
These
additional cameras may then all feed live video to the main device, essentially
turning your iPad right into a multi-camera live production facilities. You can
even add a laptop among the video sources, in case for you to do things like
add web browsing or perhaps a Powerpoint presentation into your own production.
The
studio also includes a lot of editing features designed to create your video
look enjoy it came out of a real studio. These include changes,
picture-in-picture, and TV-style images and overlays. These edits can either be
achieved in real-time, or in post manufacturing after your recording is
performed.
The
company, which continues to be self-funded, charges $25 monthly to use its
system. This includes access towards the iOS and desktop applications, as well
as it's cloud platform (which allows users live stream in order to services
like YouTube).
