RePro Pulsar Mobile turns an iPhone or iPad into a contribution encoder for RePro Stream. Sign in to your RePro account, choose a programme, and go live. Pulsar Mobile encodes on device and sends over SRT, or NDI (in and out) as well as Insta360 camera support, UVC camera inputs and testcards. • Live contribution over SRT, with H.264 or HEVC • Built-in camera, or a connected 360 camera • Live preview framed 16:9, matching what viewers actually see • Start and stop each programme from the app • Signal, bitrate and frame rate readouts while you are live 360 director's control When the source is a 360 camera, Pulsar Mobile can direct where viewers look. Pan with the gyroscope or a finger, drop markers on what matters, and draw on the scene. The view you frame is carried inside the video itself, so viewers following the programme see what you are pointing at — and can always take the view back for themselves. A RePro Stream account is required.
