CamFlowLite vs XYST DECK

CamFlowLite transforms your iOS device into a high-performance NDI® camera, ready for real-time wireless streaming with zero setup. Designed specifically for creators, live streamers, and remote production teams, this app turns any compatible iPhone or iPad into a flexible video source over Wi-Fi — no capture card, no USB cable, no cloud, and no login required. Just launch the app and connect instantly to OBS Studio, vMix, Ecamm Live, NDI Monitor, TriCaster, or any other tool that supports the NDI protocol. CamFlowLite broadcasts low-latency, uncompressed video on your local network in real time, with support for: • Customizable stream name • Dynamic resolution and framerate (up to 4K 30 fps) • Live battery status and connection indicator • Auto-discovery via Bonjour and NDI metadata • Full-screen landscape camera preview • Background audio-friendly session handling • Instant detection by OBS with zero configuration CamFlowLite requires no user account, no server, and no subscription. All processing stays local on your device. It’s designed to be lightweight, stable, and efficient — ideal for fast deployments or mobile multicam workflows. To get started, simply connect your device to the same Wi-Fi network as your NDI receiver. Adjust the stream name, resolution, and framerate from the built-in settings panel. That’s it — you're live. For best performance, we recommend using a Wi-Fi 6 or 6E router and disabling VPNs or captive portals. Tested with up to 8 devices simultaneously on a single network. Fully compatible with OBS Studio 30+, NDI Tools 5.5+, and macOS, Windows or Linux receivers. CamFlowLite is part of the Pilot for OBS project — enabling better wireless camera control and next-gen mobile production tools. No account. No cloud. Just video. For best results, we recommend a high-performance Wi-Fi 6 router, such as TP-Link Archer AX90, ASUS RT-AX88U, or Netgear Nighthawk RAX120.

XYST DECK turns your iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch into a clean, modern control surface for Bitfocus Companion — the free software behind countless live shows, streams, and studios. Connect to Companion over your local network and your buttons appear instantly: real labels, real colors, real on/off state, updating live as things change. Tap to fire — presses go straight back to Companion. A full control surface that's always in your pocket and on your wrist. WHY XYST DECK • Two-way and live. Built on Companion's Satellite protocol, so button feedback (state, color, label) reflects in real time — not just fire-and-forget. • Clean by design. Dark, calm tiles rendered from each button's text and color. No more squinting at busy thumbnails. • Universal. One app for iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch, each laid out for its screen. • On your wrist. The Apple Watch surface mirrors your phone — glance, tap, done. • Private. No account, no analytics, no tracking. Everything stays on your network and your devices. TRY IT WITHOUT A SERVER Turn on Demo mode in Settings to explore the full interface with sample pages — no Companion needed. REQUIREMENTS XYST DECK is a surface for Bitfocus Companion (free at bitfocus.io/companion). You need a Companion 3.5+ instance on your network with the Satellite API enabled. XYST DECK does not control hardware on its own. Made for broadcasters, streamers, AV techs, houses of worship, and anyone who runs a show with Companion.
