Everything is better when we work together, and at IBC, the combination of the Mavis camera app, the Atomos Ninja Phone and Grass Valley’s AMPP OS is aiming to unlock live streaming freedom.
With support for the Atomos Ninja Phone, the Mavis Camera App transforms any HDMI-equipped mirrorless or DSLR camera into a professional-grade live streaming device. With support for 10-bit ProRes, H.264 and H.265 recording, users can record locally and push content directly into a file-based workflow like Grass Valley’s Framelight, but it can also live stream via 5G or WiFi straight into Grass Valley’s AMPP production environment or NDI – all from a compact mobile setup.
Patrick Holroyd, CEO, Mavis, said: “Broadcasters can embrace more efficiency by accessing prosumer hardware and high-quality software; at the same time, content creators can step up using the same technology. The Mavis camera app is designed as a consumer-based product, but it integrates with high-level equipment like Grass Valley.”
By bridging iPhones and mirrorless cameras with AMPP, the collaboration enables creators to go live from anywhere, while seamless contribution to AMPP’s cloud-native infrastructure allows additional live feeds to be switched, recorded, and distributed as part of the production chain.
