Helm PTZ

Your cameras.
Your switcher.
One screen.

Move PTZ cameras and run your ATEM or OBS switcher from iPhone, iPad and Mac.

Try the built in demo. No hardware needed.

Helm on iPad: Preview and Program monitors, live camera sources, switcher controls and a camera joystick with saved shots

Cameras on one controller. The switcher on another. Helm puts both in your hand, so one person can run the whole show.

Setup

It finds your gear.

Open Helm and it searches your network for switchers and cameras. Tap to add. No IP addresses to hunt down, no settings to guess.

Line it up.

Every camera shows live on its own button. Tap one and it waits in Preview. Cut or Auto takes it to Program.

Shots

Every shot, one tap away.

Each saved shot keeps a picture, so you know exactly where the camera will go. Send it to Preview, or take it live on its own.

Video over your network

NDI®, built in.

Helm finds NDI® sources on your network and shows them live. Smooth previews up to 30 frames per second, with tally and camera control over NDI®.

Live pictures

See each NDI® camera right on its button.

Tally

Cameras light up red or green as you switch.

Control

Pan, tilt, zoom and focus NDI® PTZ cameras.

Small things that
save the show.

Live pictures on every button.

Each source shows what it sees, live, so you always know what you are cutting to.

Tally you can trust.

Red is live, green is next. On the screen and on the camera.

Lock the live camera.

The camera on air stays put until you unlock it, and locks again on its own.

Camera follows Preview.

Put a camera on Preview and its controls are ready.

Hot Cut.

Tap a scene and it goes straight to Program.

Keys and controllers.

Number keys pick sources. A game controller pans, tilts, zooms and cuts.

On your Lock Screen.

While you stream or record, a Live Activity keeps the timer and what is on air in view.

Audio and macros.

Mix audio and run ATEM macros without leaving Helm.

Private by design.

The app talks to your gear over your own network. No ads, no tracking, nothing sold. Privacy Policy
