Mavis launches iPad live production app Mavis Studio

Mavis has launched iPad live production app, Mavis Studio, which combines multi-camera video switching, playback, integrated graphics, audio mixing, recording and streaming in a single iPad app.

The product is pitched as a portable, mobile-first platform for live video workflows, with Mavis Camera integration, NDI certified with HX3 support for high-quality IP video workflows, internal recording and streaming output to all popular social platforms including YouTube, Facebook, Twitch.

For custom streaming, RTMP and SRT protocols are also supported.

Mavis Studio’s touch-first interface makes live production feel immediate and intuitive, says Mavis, with interactive multiviews for fast source selection, revealable control panels for extended functionality and support for professional codecs such as Apple ProRes.

The app is aimed at a wide range of real-world workflows, from video podcasts and music performances to corporate events and house of worship.

At the heart of the app is a production switcher with support for live and internal sources. Users can manage up to four live inputs and combine those feeds with multiple integrated playout tools.

Video packages can also be rolled from the built-in media players, stills displayed from the image players, and HTML5-based graphics overlays and web presentations incorporated.

Mavis Studio includes a 16-channel audio desk with channel strips, pan, gain, EQ, grouping and master output control, enabling users to create a polished live mix directly inside the app. 

“Mavis Studio is designed for productions that want the quality and features typically associated with a traditional broadcast production but with the ease of use and pricing model of a consumer-based app” said Patrick Holroyd, CEO of Mavis. “There are now huge numbers of content creation teams and event producers who need professional live output, but do not want to be tied to large, fixed systems. With Mavis Studio, we are giving them a flexible, portable production tool built around the power of the iPad.”

“Over the past few years, we have seen NDI adoption expand well beyond traditional broadcast, and Mavis Studio is a natural reflection of that shift,” adds Miguel Coutinho, head of NDI. “Creators who want professional multi-camera output should not have to invest in fixed, expensive systems to get it. By building NDI certification into Mavis Studio, that level of production quality is now accessible to a much wider audience.”

The Mavis Studio app is a free download available from the App Store. The free version applies a watermark on all outputs, which can be removed with a paid-for subscription.
