I think it's a leftover from a camera cage I got, VersaFrame Camera Cage by Smallrig. You might be able to replace that using a small cheeseplate

It has a Director Mode which triggers local recording on all the connected cameras and laptop sources. You can then transfer all the footages to the main switching iPad for high quality compilation or transfer to a computer. Useful for post-production.

Unfortunately I didn't have a set of SeeMo 4K to test with. Get in touch with Accsoon, they respond pretty fast usually.

Hi, the SeeMo runs on NP-F batteries, which come in various capacities (F550, F750 etc.). I have not tested battery life, but the F960 to F980 batteries should get you at least 4-5hrs.

It's a common thing for Sony if you're recording 4K on the camera too. Set Auto Pwr OFF Temp to High and it will stay on longer even if it gets hot. If you record in warm conditions, best to get some active cooling, like a fan. Flipping out the screen and opening battery door will help a little.

With the SeeMo 4K or SeeMo Pro, they will keep the phones charged. The original SeeMo won't, but you can place a magsafe charger with the phone in the clamp. Just be wary of overheating the phones.

I’m pretty sure it can last at least 3hrs on a NPF970 battery, powering SeeMo and keeping the phone charged. Original SeeMo will drain the phone, the Pro won’t.

People like you are a character-building addition to a wonderfully diverse world.

Hi, the Seemo is built with the primary purpose of using an iPhone or iPad as an external monitor for cameras. You can't stream from camera directly to Zoom from it. Alternatively, get the Accsoon CineView HE, which supports UVC from the receiver unit.

Hi, I usually use 1 WIFI 6 router only unless I'm covering a large area, or my cameras are pretty far from me. In those cases, I'll then set up a mesh node. SeeMo uses the phone's WIFI to transmit the video feed, so ultimately it boils down to how congested the WIFI channels are at the location.

Switcher Studio app has ISO recording features, so that's how I do my recording. You'll get a full recording of the program in 1080p, plus all the individual recordings from the cameras.

Hi, I'm using Netgear Nighthawk M2

Hi, if I recall correctly, you'll need a micro-HDMI to HDMI cable to connect from A6400 to SeeMo. Make sure your HDMI resolution is set to 1080p. If you're using Switcher Studio, your microphone should be connected to the switching device (iPad in my case), not the camera as SeeMo does not transmit audio for SS.

Thanks

Hi, I’ve actually came up with an updated setup recently which I just uploaded: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mJizeYVsh7GVfsUsi=aitaIcr9dwzENfTw There is also a system diagram in the new video that shows all the connection. The main difference between V1 and V2 setups is that I’ve removed the mesh router for V2. Otherwise the rest are the same.

Indeed, I believe they are pushing people to use this with their iPad cages. That's why I prefer the original SeeMo as well.

I have not tried CameraFi Live. Seeing that the SeeMo is like a capture card for your phone, there shouldn't be any issues using it for that app to stream SRT.

The Teradek is a streaming encoder (similar to LiveU, Prism) that takes in a HDMI signal and streams out to the platforms. What I've done is take the Program output from Switcher Studio into the encoder via HDMI, so that it can stream out over multiple cellular connections. The Switcher Studio is streaming as backup to the platform using a single cellular connection. Both Teradek and SS will be streaming the exact same video (along with graphics, titles, overlays), just relying on different connections.

Hi Jon, is the router connected to a modem? There should be lights to indicate whether the router has an active internet connection.

Yes, and then how do I connect the cameras without losing them?

You can use an AC adapter with NP-F dummy battery to keep the SeeMo running

Thanks! Yes you need a mobile line for the M5/6 modem to have an internet connection. I won't be able to advise on which line to get as I'm based in Singapore. You'll need to check the area where you are streaming at to see which telco has the best coverage (that's what recces are for). For example, I have 4G lines from all 3 major telcos here, as I'm constantly streaming at different locations. The one with the strongest upload speed will be the one I insert into my modem for the livestream.

Thanks so much! Your videos have solved so many problems for me! YOU are an answer to prayer!

The D800 have clean HDMI output (you might have to set it in settings first) so it'll work. I'm using Nikon Z5 and Z6.

@@kactussg I bought it and it works!

Thank you, it came as a result of trying to replicate PTZ features using the equipment I already have.

With the latest iOS update it might work. I haven’t tried it out, so I’m not sure whether SS recognises it as a camera source yet.

Happy to hear that!

Switcher Studio does support multi-destination streaming natively, but you'll need double the upload bandwidth. I recommend at least 20Mbps upload. Alternatively, you can use Restream to stream to multiple locations, so that it's less taxing on your bandwidth. Plus you get more control and stream health info along the way.

What problems did you encounter, and what sort of workflow are you using it for? Do share with the rest here so that they are aware of the limitations too :)

@@kactussg I got the original Seemo back in November of last year. I was super excited cause I honestly prefer using my phone as a monitor. The input lag was terrible, the UI of the actual app left me desiring something better it felt really gimmicky to me. I used the Seemo with my a7iv and a black magic pocket cinema it worked but I honestly felt like I would’ve been better off buying a Portkeys PT6. I ended up never using it again after the initial excitement wore down now I don’t even know where it is. Hopefully this time around it’s a lot better

For the first version of SeeMo, you can power the iPhone (12 and above) using the MagSafe charger and clamp it together. The iPhones run longer with SeeMo as well compared to using their built-in cameras, so they should be able to last for at least 2hrs without being powered. If you need to run with the iOS devices powered, get the SeeMo Pro.

From a brief look at the specs online, it seems like a pretty capable LTE router. I believe the intention for the SIM card slot is for situations when the WAN connection fails, but should still be able to function on its own. WIFI 6 is a plus!

It might work better hosting the hotspot from your iPad (if it has LTE connectivity) if you don't want to get an additional modem, so that it does not have to receive the 2 video feeds wirelessly from the 3rd iPhone. The iPhone may not be able to handle that many devices using its hotspot if it's an older model. A Nighthawk M2 will definitely help, and the main advantage is that it has an Ethernet port, allowing you to connect it direct to the iPad. Check out Part 2 for the reason behind hard-wiring the Switcher iPad if you haven't watched it.

Glad you find the video useful!

It's Switcher Studio, a multicam livestream production app that we have been using for the past 4 years
