NDI Camera Live

What’s New in Version 1.7.0 New features and improvements across the 1.6–1.7 updates: CAMERA PREVIEW TOOLS • Zebra lines highlight bright areas at approximately 95% luminance. • Focus peaking highlights edges to help you judge focus. • Customize zebra and peaking colors and opacity, with saved appearance settings. • Live luminance histogram, square/4:3/2.39:1 framing guides, and outdoor contrast mode. • Preview aids stay off the outgoing NDI video. LOOKS AND IMAGE CONTROLS • Expanded Light, Color, and Detail & Depth controls: exposure, brightness, midtone gamma, contrast, highlights, shadows, saturation, vibrance, hue, temperature, tint, sharpening, noise reduction, vignette, portrait blur, and Broadcast LUT intensity. • Neutral, Natural, Broadcast, Low Light, and Cinematic presets. • Adjustable look intensity and a continuous before/after preview comparison that leaves the broadcast unchanged. • Save, recall, rename, and delete custom looks and camera setups. Setups can also recall exposure, focus, white balance, stabilization, orientation, video format, and source name. • Choose effects performance priority: Smoothness or Maximum Quality. • Improved portrait-blur edges and closer agreement between the processed preview and NDI output. FOCUS AND CAMERA CONTROLS • Face Priority, Eye AF, Person AF, and tap-to-track focus with a visible tracking indicator. • Smooth autofocus and full/near/far focus search options on supported cameras. • Automatic, locked, and manual hardware white balance, including temperature and tint. • Adjustable torch brightness, optional automatic low-light boost, geometric distortion correction, and lens-aperture information where supported. • Tap zoom to switch between available lens stops; drag for continuous zoom with a temporary zoom scale. • Seamless Image Exposure adjusts preview and broadcast exposure while retaining supported multi-lens switching. • More responsive camera sliders and controls. Hardware features depend on the active device and lens. STABILIZATION AND WORKSPACE • Expanded hybrid stabilization and horizon-leveling controls, with improved rotation, framing, and orientation handling. • Larger touch targets, clearer Pro Camera tabs, a compact tappable status header, and a larger preview with improved portrait and landscape layouts. • Adaptive iPhone and iPad layouts, including resized iPad windows. • Stream-health screen and clearer status information. • Updated app icon and launch experience with light/dark variants and Reduce Motion support. VIDEO, AUDIO, AND POWER • 24, 25, and 50 FPS options alongside 30 and 60 FPS, subject to camera support. • Battery Saver preset at 720p/24 FPS. • Adaptive Power Guard responds to battery level, Low Power Mode, heat, and camera pressure. • Microphone starts muted; microphone capture and the audio session activate when unmuted and stop when muted. • Display Off keeps streaming while covering the screen and pausing the local preview; locking or backgrounding the app stops capture. • Supported on-device Vision tasks can use the Neural Engine, with automatic fallback. STREAMING AND RELIABILITY • Improved frame pacing, startup, preview responsiveness, and 1080p60 handling. • Latest-frame processing helps prevent queued video from adding latency. • More efficient effects and optional preview analysis under resource pressure. • Improved camera recovery, memory handling, stream stop/start behavior, and Live Activity reliability. • Avoids unnecessary NDI sender restarts during harmless network interface updates, with improved stream-health diagnostics.
