Videk Director is the command center of the Videk multi-camera system - a professional production suite built entirely from your existing iPhones and iPads. Pair with the free Videk Camera app (installed on any iPhone or iPad you want to use as a camera source), and you have a fully controllable multi-camera studio in your pocket. No dongles, no capture cards, no extra hardware. Just your Apple devices and a Wi-Fi network. CONTROL ALL YOUR CAMERAS FROM ONE DEVICE See every connected camera in a live grid and tap to switch your program source instantly. Monitor all feeds in real time with decoded H.264 video. Choose which camera's microphone is active - or use the Director device's own mic. LIVE OVERLAYS Add text and image overlays to your program output in real time. Import PNGs or animated GIFs from your photo library, drag to position, pinch to scale, rotate freely, and adjust opacity. Overlays persist across sessions so your branded graphics are always ready. SESSION RECORDING - RECORD EVERYTHING, EDIT LATER Record all camera sources simultaneously as individual video tracks. The Director tracks which camera you selected at every moment. After your shoot, review the full multi-track session, change camera selections in the timeline, and export a finished MP4 ā all without leaving the app. LIVE STREAMING VIA RTMP Stream directly to YouTube, Twitch, Instagram, TikTok, or any custom RTMP destination. Choose 720p, 1080p, or 4K output with H.264 or HEVC encoding. Adaptive bitrate keeps your stream stable even as network conditions change. VIDEO COMPOSITING Built-in GPU-accelerated compositor with multiple layout modes: single camera full-screen, side-by-side, or a full multi-camera grid - all with Metal-accelerated rendering and aspect-ratio-preserving letterboxing. ZERO CONFIGURATION NETWORKING Devices discover each other automatically over your local Wi-Fi via Bonjour. No internet required. Your video never leaves your network unless you explicitly stream it out. Share a 6-digit session code with each Camera device and you're live in seconds.

StreamCamera
Read full descriptionHide full description
StreamCamera turns two Apple devices into a camera and a monitor. One device films. The other shows the picture live and can record it at the same time. HOW IT WORKS ⢠Open StreamCamera on both devices, pick the other device in Nearby Devices, and accept the request. ⢠iPhone or iPad to Mac: connect over a USB cable for the steadiest picture, or over Wi-Fi. ⢠iPhone to iPad, or two of either: over Wi-Fi. ⢠The monitor shows the quality actually arriving, so you always know what you are watching. ON THE MONITOR ⢠A live view of the camera's picture, up to 4K30 over a cable. ⢠Record the stream on the monitor as a second copy of the take. ⢠Take a photo of the live picture. ⢠Start and stop the camera's recording from the monitor. CAMERA CONTROLS ⢠Auto mode, or take over with ISO, shutter, white balance and exposure. ⢠Tap to focus, with an exposure slider at the focus point. ⢠White balance presets and per-lens ranges that match your device. ⢠Switch lenses, zoom, and change frame rate and resolution. RECORDING ⢠Record in HEVC, H.264 or ProRes 422 LT, 422 and HQ. ⢠See how much recording time your free space allows. ⢠Name your files with your own prefix and suffix. ⢠Dim the screen while recording to stay cooler and save battery. DUAL CAMERA ⢠Record the front and back cameras at once on supported devices. ⢠Save both in one video, or as a separate file for each camera. ⢠Move the inset picture where you want it. FRAMING TOOLS ⢠A level guide: a horizon line when you shoot straight ahead, and two marks that meet when the device is flat over a table. ⢠A grid, and framing guides for common aspect ratios. ⢠Stereo audio meters while you film. YOUR MEDIA ⢠Everything you record is saved to your photo library. ⢠Browse, play, share and delete your takes inside the app. STREAMCAMERA PRO Pro unlocks longer streaming sessions, Dual Camera, splitting long recordings into clips automatically, and recording both cameras combined or as separate files. Choose the plan that suits you: 1 week, 1 month or 1 year, or buy Lifetime once with no subscription. ⢠Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. ⢠A subscription renews automatically unless it is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. ⢠Your Apple Account is charged for renewal within 24 hours before the end of the current period. ⢠Manage or cancel your subscription in your Apple Account settings after purchase. ⢠Lifetime is a one-time purchase and never renews. GOOD TO KNOW ⢠Both devices need StreamCamera. For Wi-Fi, put them on the same network; a 5 GHz or Wi-Fi 6 network gives the best results. ⢠While the camera records in HEVC or H.264, the monitor picture switches to a lighter format so it stays smooth. Your recording always keeps the quality you chose. ⢠On Mac, StreamCamera is for monitoring and recording a stream; it does not use the Mac's own camera.
