Live streaming

The capture card stays plugged in. Your rig, off the desk.

OBS scenes, Streamlabs alerts and NDI inputs — controlled from an iPad on set or a phone in the booth. The preview is true-time, so the "one more take" walk back to the desk is gone.

Scene control

The full OBS surface, on a touch screen.

Remio mirrors the OBS window as the workstation renders it — the scene list, the source list, the audio mixer, the multiview preview, all scaled and touch-friendly on an iPad. You aren't driving a "remote control" UI; you're touching the real OBS. Tap a scene and the broadcast cuts. Long-press for the scene context menu. Drag a fader and the level changes. Tap the eye icon and a source disappears — all working because you're touching the real menu.

Studio-mode preview / program renders to the iPad exactly as it does to the rig.

The capture rig stays. You move.

A serious streaming workstation has capture cards, an audio interface, NDI feeds and OBS with thirty scenes. None of that travels — the cables are real. What travels is you.

The real scene list, touch-sized

OBS's actual scene list, rendered at the workstation's pixel density and scaled to the iPad. Tap a scene; the broadcast cuts to it. Long-press for duplicate, rename and transitions — all working as expected because it's the real menu.

Faders with finger precision

The OBS audio mixer faders track the iPad finger drag in real time. Pull the mic down for a cough, push it back up after. The VU meters update at the workstation's frame rate so you can read your level dynamics from across the room.

Source visibility toggles

Tap the eye icon next to a source to toggle its visibility — for the cam-cut moment when the host needs to disappear from the broadcast without changing the underlying scene composition.

Studio-mode preview

Preview / program split renders to the iPad as it does to the rig. Preview the next scene on the left, the live program on the right, tap Transition or a Studio-mode shortcut to cut.

Audio cue

Mic up, mic down, music swap — from the side table.

A live music-and-talk stream needs constant audio attention: bring the music up between segments, duck it under speech, swap the cue track, mute the chat alert talking over the host. All of these live on the workstation's OBS mixer and its Voicemeeter or Loopback routing — and all are reachable from the iPad in your hand without leaving the mic. One tap mutes the broadcast mic when a cough starts; the VU silences immediately so you can see the mute is live.

True-time preview

8 ms preview means what you see is what's on the rig.

Most "remote OBS" wrappers add half a second of latency by re-encoding the multiview as streaming video. Remio uses the same hardware H.265 path that powers gaming — glass-to-glass around 8 ms on LAN, below what a human can perceive.

Two different timelines

The broadcast pipeline (OBS to Twitch or YouTube) lags several seconds because of CDN and transcoding — independent of Remio. The iPad preview shows what's on the workstation's display right now, so a scene switch fires immediately even though the audience sees the cut later.

A broadcast switcher on glass

Broadcast directors call shots from a control booth with sub-frame latency to their multiview. Remio gives a one-person show the same model: the workstation is the technical bay, the iPad is the director's surface — same low latency, same trust in what you see.

NDI for feeds, Remio for control

NDI moves camera feeds between machines on the LAN; Remio gives you the control surface. Use NDI between the camera bay and OBS, Remio between the OBS workstation and your iPad. The two coexist — NDI uses its own multicast, Remio uses ephemeral UDP.

Same LAN, different ports

On a switch that already handles NDI's multicast load, Remio's added traffic is small — 3 to 10 Mbps per session — and is absorbed without contention. If your network runs NDI, it runs Remio alongside it.

Questions

Questions streamers ask first

Direct answers, no marketing detour.

Does Remio record the stream locally on the iPad?
No. Remio streams the workstation's display to the iPad for monitoring and control — it does not record the broadcast itself. OBS or Streamlabs on the workstation still handles the broadcast pipeline. The iPad sees only what the workstation's display shows.
Will I double-record or double-encode?
No. Remio's stream to the iPad is a separate pipeline from your broadcast encode. OBS still does the H.264 or AV1 broadcast encode; Remio uses its own hardware H.265 path. Both run in parallel on modern Apple, NVIDIA and AMD silicon without contention.
Is the preview fast enough to call scene changes?
Yes. On a wired LAN the iPad preview is around 8 ms behind the workstation's monitor — well below human perception. The audience still sees the broadcast delay, but the iPad-to-rig path is immediate.
Does the webcam pass through Remio?
The webcam stays plugged into the streaming workstation. OBS sees it natively. Remio streams the workstation's display and forwards your input — the webcam, capture cards, USB microphones and Stream Deck all stay on the workstation.
Is this a Stream Deck replacement?
Not quite. Stream Deck is a tactile control surface; Remio is the real OBS on glass. They complement each other — Stream Deck for muscle-memory hotkeys, Remio when you need to see what you're switching to (a new browser source, an alert template, the dock for a scene with no Stream Deck key). Many streamers run both.
Does it work over mobile data?
Yes. Remio adapts the bitrate to the link. On a strong LTE or 5G connection the experience is comparable to busy hotel Wi-Fi — usable for scene switching and audio cue control, frame rate drops first if bandwidth tightens. For critical broadcasts, tether to a known network.
