bitPix Live

REQUIRES A MAC RUNNING CAPTURE ONE PRO AND THE FREE bitPix LIVE AGENT. bitPix Live is the phone half of a two-part tool: the agent runs in your Mac's menu bar beside Capture One and reads the tethered session; this app shows you what it sees. On its own the app has nothing to count. Download the agent at bitpixdigital.com/bitpixlive. bitPix Live puts the live frame count of a tethered shoot on your phone, logs every shot as it completes, and tells you whether the day will wrap on time. THE LIVE COUNT One big number, sized to read from across a lit set: how many frames are in the current shot right now. It updates the moment a frame lands on the Mac. Set a warn and a red threshold per job and the number changes colour with a haptic when a shot runs long. EVERY SHOT, LOGGED Each time the capture folder changes in Capture One, the shot that just finished lands in the log with its frame count, time on set, and a thumbnail. Revisit a folder after lunch and it stays one shot with two visits, not two shots. Counts are verified against what is actually in the folder on the Mac and marked as such. THE WRAP FORECAST Tell a job how many shots are planned and when you need to finish. bitPix Live measures pace against the clock, including changeovers and lighting resets, and gives an estimated wrap time and the pace you need to hit the target. Quiet stretches longer than a few minutes are shown as waiting rather than counted against a shot. PULL THE SELECTED IMAGE One tap fetches whatever is selected in Capture One to your phone. Build a gallery per job, zoom in, compare two frames side by side, share through the standard sheet, or export a PDF contact sheet. BUILT FOR THE CART - Pairs over local Wi‑Fi with a six-digit code or a QR code. No account, no cloud, no internet required. A studio network with no outside connection works fine. - The Mac is the recorder. Put the phone in your pocket, leave the building, come back: the shots you missed replay on reconnect. - Multiple phones can watch the same Mac at once: photographer, digitech, producer, client. - The agent only ever reads. It never writes, moves, renames or deletes a file in your session. - Camera raw files are counted; sidecars, previews and cache are ignored. A JPEG-only tether is flagged rather than silently counted as zero. WHAT YOU NEED - A Mac running macOS 14 or later with Capture One Pro and a session open (catalogs are not supported). - The free bitPix Live Agent installed on that Mac, from bitpixdigital.com/bitpixlive. - Your iPhone or iPad on the same Wi‑Fi network as the Mac. bitPix Live is made by a working photographer for tethered studio and location work.
