Mavis Studio brings four-input NDI switching and production to iPad.
Mavis has launched Mavis Studio, a live production app for iPad that functions as a multi-camera switcher with support for up to four inputs. The app integrates with the Mavis Camera for iPhone/iPad, supports NDI with HX3, and includes a 16-channel audio mixer, graphics overlays, and waveform/vectorscope tools. It can stream via RTMP and SRT to popular platforms or output via NDI, and records locally using codecs like Apple ProRes.
Key Takeaways
- The app functions as a switcher for up to four live inputs, combining them with integrated media players, HTML5 graphics with alpha channel, and custom scene layouts.
- It features a 16-channel audio mixer with channel strips, EQ, and master output control directly within the app.
- It is NDI Certified, supporting up to four NDI inputs with HX3 and an NDI output, enabling IP-based workflows over standard networks.
- The app is free with a watermark. Removing the watermark and activating NDI functionality costs $39.99 per month or $129.99 per year.
- The companion Mavis Camera app includes a waveform monitor and vectorscope, a feature the article contrasts with competitor Teradek’s Airmix.
Why It Matters
The app lowers the cost and complexity of multi-camera production, migrating professional features like NDI I/O, audio mixing, and ProRes recording onto a single iPad. It positions Mavis directly against other mobile production tools, with the article citing the companion app's built-in scopes as a differentiator from Teradek's Airmix. The product's NDI certification reflects the continued expansion of IP video workflows beyond traditional broadcast studios into more portable, creator-focused setups. Watch adoption of the NDI-enabled subscription tier, as this will signal the market's willingness to pay for professional IP features on consumer hardware.
