On first glance and running through the app I like the items but there are some glaring issues that it seems all remote controls apps mess up.
Pros:
- Nice layout.
- Easy to setup and get going
- The video quality for WiFi is good
- The remote control is good for WiFi. Some latency to be expected.
- The ability to tune a camera in the room with the camera is ideal so lighting may be adjusted and setup of sets. Good for those who setup at different locations.
Cons:
- Not sure why but all the numbers on the settings are wrong. In the exposure settings area you have 6 for Iris when it is really 1.6. You have 4 for DB gain when it is really 10.4.
- The numbers for the sliders are right aligned. These should be center aligned on the slider and have the same look as the webUI. F2.0, 10.4DB, 1/60. This will keep UI’s consistent and we can see the full values.
- When a slider is adjusted in iOS the change shows up in the WebUI right away. But if you change in the WebUI it does not change in iOS. Polling issue.
- Some settings are just missing. Sharpness in iOS stops at 0 while in the WebUI you may go down to negative numbers. These should be consistent.
- Sliders for color have same issue as exposer. They don’t have current selection and worst they show 0 for gain when the WebUI shows 32 as a default. These need to match. Also, move the numbers to center so full numbers will show.
Summary:
I like the tool and look forward to the updates to fix the UI so you may actually use it to adjust the camera but as it stands now not seeing the full numbers is a big issue. The last UI for a remote camera I used in NDI had this same issue. Not sure why that would be but seems like a simple and vastly overlooked QA issue.
A good step to a remote tool. Seeing this on android and others would be great.
