LiveApp Play turns your iPhone, iPad or Mac with Apple silicon into a professional video playback device. The video list and all settings can be viewed on the device screen, while the videos are played back full screen and without overlays on the connected display. 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. Videos are organized into sections and can be easily rearranged via drag and drop. Sections can be looped either a certain number of times or endlessly. In the video inspector the video can be trimmed, the speed set and the volume adjusted (even above 0 dB). 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. REMOTE CONTROL Create completely custom solutions with the API or use our pre-built integration with Bitfocus Companion. LIVEAPP PRO Need more professional features? Check out our LiveApp Pro app which adds overlays (images, videos, URLs), ATEM Switcher control and the Draw feature.
