Helm for live events

Every angle.
One pair of hands.

Run the cameras and the switcher from one iPad at front of house, so a small crew can cover the whole show.

Built for the pace of a show.

A shot for every moment.

Save the lead, the drums, the crowd and the wide. Each one is a tap away, with a picture so you know where it goes.

See it before it's live.

Every camera shows live on its button. Line up the next shot in Preview while the current one is on air.

The live camera stays put.

Lock the camera on air so a bumped joystick never ruins the shot.

Everything at front of house.

Monitors, sources, transitions and camera controls on one iPad screen.
