Read full descriptionHide full description
OMTake is the first iOS app to stream live video and audio using the OMT (Open Media Transport) protocol — the open-source alternative to NDI developed by vMix/StudioCoast. Connect your iPhone as a wireless camera source to vMix or any OMT-compatible receiver on your local network. No additional hardware needed. STREAMING - HD, UHD, and 4K resolution support - 24 to 60 fps depending on resolution - Selectable encoding quality (LQ/MQ/HQ) with live hot-switch - Audio capture with one-tap mute CAMERA - Multi-lens zoom with 0.5x, 1x, 2x presets and smooth pinch zoom - Front and back camera support - Tap to focus and expose - Automatic lens switching via virtual multi-camera devices PRODUCTION - Tally indicator (program/preview) with on-screen border and torch feedback - Configurable source name visible on your switcher - Corner brackets framing the 16:9 image area - Icons rotate for landscape use while layout stays locked RELIABILITY - Thermal management with automatic quality downgrade - Auto-stop protection at critical temperature - Bonjour/DNS-SD network discovery OMTake Pro (one-time purchase) removes the watermark for a clean, professional output. Requires a local network connection to an OMT-compatible receiver such as vMix.
