LiveApp Pro vs CastPad

LiveApp turns your iPad or Mac with Apple silicon into a powerful video playback device for multicam live productions. Output clean custom video playlists via HDMI*. Connect LiveApp to an ATEM Switcher** for more integration and Alpha Video Overlays! VIDEOCUE Organize your videos in custom playlists for fullscreen playback via HDMI. If connected to an ATEM Switcher “Autoplay” can be enabled for instant playback when cut to the connected channel. LiveApp cuts back to Preview at the end of the playlist. This makes video playback in your multicam livestream sessions extremely easy. For professional use cases there are a lot of additional powerful features. INBOX SERVER Easily load videos directly into VideoCue over the local network and remotely control playback. To do this, start the Inbox Server in Settings and go to the local LiveApp website with any device on the network. Cross platform, from any web browser. OVERLAYS Set up a button grid with custom transparent videos, pictures or web applications for animated overlays. Different playback modes such as once, loop and split make it easy to generate professional overlays. If connected to an ATEM Switcher LiveApp automatically uses the built in keyer to overlay your animations over the active camera stream. DRAW Use the fantastic drawing capabilities of iPad to draw over the video output. Either scribble over your VideoCue footage or annotate any ATEM input using the keyer technology. When connected to an ATEM a reference frame can be captured to ensure precise drawing results. SWITCHER Connect LiveApp to your ATEM Switcher over the local network and unlock remote control capabilities.
