Swiss-based RecoLive has released their RecoLive Switcher application for iOS multi-camera switching. The new app is the next step after the company’s MultiCam software. Their mission was to create a video using only an iPad that is professional quality. It’ll let you control and switch between other iDevices, using them as cameras. The Galileo can also be incorporated for pan/tilt effects. The app even streams live over YouTube for live events using just a few iDevices. The app uses Wi-Fi for connection and the developers are looking at using peer to peer networking in the future.
The RecoLive Switcher is free on the iOS app store, but there’s a $11.99 in-app purchase if you want to remove the watermark from your video. They are also exploring avenues with streaming partners to give you the full version free.
A Production Switcher on iPhone and iPad
Yverdon-les-Bains, February 26, 2014- There are several iPhone apps that amateur videographers can use to shoot clips and broadcast them live. While playing the role of director with these apps may be exciting, a performance or sporting event captured with these tools often comes across as less than thrilling to those who see the finished product. RecoLive wants to change this with its new multi-camera video app.
To communicate what makes an event unique, the director needs to show it from different angles, constantly showing new perspectives and controlling transitions. This is exactly what the new RecoLive Switcher app lets you do by working like the multi- camera equipment used in professional television productions.
An iPad becomes the production switcher and individual iPhones are the cameras. From the switcher, you can view each camera’s output and control transitions. The “picture-in- picture” effect and other features let you combine images from several cameras. The result can be streamed live over the Internet through a service like YouTube Live or Ustream that supports RTMP. It can also be projected on a big screen (via HDMI or AirPlay) or recorded.
Everything works through Wi-Fi and that makes this a very portable solution that is easy to set up. Using Motrr’s Galileo motion control platform, you can pan and tilt your cameras remotely. This means you can put your camera right in the center of the action and control its every movement from your spot at the switcher.
RecoLive Switcher was inspired by MultiCam, the multi-camera app from RecoLive that was released at the end of 2012. Switcher incorporates much of its predecessor’s functionality, including the ability to control focus, exposition and white balance, as well as a Tally light and the ability to turn off autofocus when the camera is streaming live. These features help you create high-quality videos.
RecoLive Switcher requires the use of a Wi-Fi network—you can even use the personal hotspot on your iPhone. In a later release, RecoLive is planning to leverage Apple’s peer- to-peer connectivity so that you will have the option to use the app without Wi-Fi or a hotspot.
You can download this app for free from the App Store and have access to all its features. The only restriction is that the name of the app will appear at the bottom of the video screen. To remove the app’s name from your creation, you can purchase it for $11.99 (in-app purchase). Soon, you will have the option of removing it if you use the services of one of our streaming partners.
