直面对决:Switcher Studio vs. Teradek Live:空中行动
两个领先的多摄像头网络直播iOS应用比较
用于多摄像机现场制作, there's always been a ton of big production hardware available to do the job. 然后，将视频输入专用的小盒子以流式传输您的视频.
但是今天, consumer devices are so powerful that you can do what looks like a professional multicamera live TV show—with video playback, 标题, 还有更多——所有人都只需要几部智能手机. 但是哪个应用程序是最好的呢?
更正确的问题是哪个应用最适合你? 或者，哪一个适合这个项目?
There is no "best" app because each one has certain standout features that the other does not have, 根据你的需要, 或者是当前产品的需求与其他产品的需求, 您可以选择最有效的工具.
的竞争者
Currently I'm aware of five multi-camera live switching solutions you can run on an iPad (下面的图1). 每个人都使用一个应用程序来查看多个摄像头的视频, 把它们混合起来, add stills and 标题; and record and stream the output. 然而，我要马上排除其中的三个.
图1. 使用基于ipad的应用程序切换和流媒体直播事件
Sling Media的SlingStudio, 例如, 可以用iPad, 但所有的摄像机摄食, as well as the mixing and the recording actually takes place on the hub unit. This means your iPad or laptop could crash and the streaming and recording would continue along happily until your iPad took control of the hub again. 这就意味着它不是一个基于ipad的解决方案, 而是基于硬件的解决方案, iPad可以控制的东西, 或不.
The second solution that I'm not going to discuss at this time is Cinamaker. 我和NAB的Cinamaker团队见了面，产品很成功, 但仍在最后敲定中, so I'm not going to discuss it in this head-to-head comparison only because it’s not shipping yet. I’ve asked Cinamaker to contribute to the feature comparison chart so we have a head start to see how it might compare to our two main tools.
There's also an app called CollabraCam which is not really a live-switching app. Each individual camera records its own feed while the "director" app only records an Edit Decision List (EDL). 摄像机1上的音频是唯一使用的音频. 然后所有的东西都必须在后期组装. 看起来很有趣, 如果你只需要录音, 但它不提供视频播放功能, 标题, 或任何其他现场生产百家乐软件, 所以它不符合这篇比较文章的条件.
That leaves the two true iOS-based multi-cam live-switch video broadcast solutions. Teradek Live:空中行动(发音为“Live to Air”). Action is the latest version of this software, and there's also a free lite version known as "Solo.” Switcher Studio is also available in a free lite version called Switcher Go.
现场直播:空中行动(下面的图2)的界面最适合更大的平板电脑, 由于有许多专门的章节和微小的类型. Live:Air Solo is actually designed for a phone with minimal interface that can be brought in as overlays from the sides and bottom. 它可以在平板电脑上运行，实际上我喜欢在平板电脑上使用它. Live:Air Action甚至不会出现在手机上下载.

Switcher Studio在平板电脑上运行得非常漂亮(下面的图3). 然而, the app also has an interface designed specifically for iPhone that makes it easier to use with larger interface elements that you swap between. Switcher Go has a very minimal interface that is pretty much the same on the phone or tablet.

我制作了一个逐个特性的比较图表(下面的图4和5)来帮助你了解你所需要的. This chart was checked by reps of each of the three companies included so it should be accurate as of May 23, 2018. I included Cinamaker in the chart based on the features the company say will be in the app, 当它释放时. Each of these companies is continually updating these apps so the features and capabilities will soon change from the ones I note here.
