Veloda Live runs on your PC. You can control it from a phone, a tablet or another computer. You open a page in the browser, see the cameras and switch between them.

What you need:

• The PC is on and Veloda Live is open.
• The phone is on the same Wi-Fi as the PC.
• An ordinary browser (Chrome, Safari, Firefox...). Install nothing.
• The PIN shown in the program.

There is no limit on devices. Open the panel on as many phones as you like.

1. Start Veloda Live on the PC.
2. Make sure the phone is on the same Wi-Fi.
3. In the program press the 📱 button (in the top bar). A window shows a QR code, the PIN and the panel address.
4. On the phone open the camera and scan the code. The control panel opens in the browser. The code carries the PIN, so you do not type it.
5. If the phone cannot scan it, type the address shown under the code into the browser, then type the PIN if asked.

This is an example with a demo PIN. Your own PIN is shown in your program. The 📱 button appears only in the program window on the PC itself, not on the phone.

1The main screen

At the top is the status bar: the video engine's status, CPU and frames per second. The green PVW picture is the preview: what you picked to go next. The red PGM picture is the program: what people see now. Below them are the scene or camera tiles. The big buttons are on the right.

2Switching cameras: CUT and the T-bar

Tap a camera tile: it becomes the preview (green frame). Press CUT: it goes to the program at once (red frame). FADE switches with a smooth fade.

The T-BAR is a manual mix: drag it slowly and the two scenes blend. At the end press Complete to finish the switch, or Cancel to go back.

3Going live, stopping, and watching health

Press LIVE STREAM to start. Starting does not ask. A moment later a timer shows and the health numbers (CPU, frames, upload speed) appear on top. In the animation a backup recording also started by itself with the stream.

To stop, press the same button. A box asks "Stop the live stream?". Press Yes to stop or No to stay live. This question protects you from a wrong tap. If a red bar appears, it is an alert: read it.

4Audio: level and mute

Scroll the right column down to AUDIO. Each sound source (microphone, music...) has a level meter that moves with the sound. Drag the gold handle to raise or lower the volume. Press Mute to silence a source (the button turns red) and press it again to bring it back.

5Recording and saving a moment

The REC button starts recording on the PC and shows the time while it runs. To keep an important moment (the bride walks in, for example), type an optional name and press SAVE THIS MOMENT. The program keeps the last seconds so you can replay them later. REPLAY LAST replays the last moment in slow motion.

To stop recording, press the button. It asks "Stop recording?" first. Press Yes to stop.

6Lock mode and the PIN

The lock button (🔓) is at the top. Press it and it becomes 🔒 Locked. While locked, nobody can stop the stream or the recording, delete a scene or change settings by mistake. Switching cameras still works.

To unlock, press the button again, type the PIN, then Unlock. The same PIN is also asked the first time you open the panel if you did not scan the code.

A standalone Android app. It works like the panel and adds things for the phone.

• Control: scene tiles, CUT and FADE, the T-bar, REC and the stream (stopping asks first), health numbers and alerts, audio level and mute, NEXT for the show steps, replay and saved moments, titles, and the lock.
• Camera operator screen (Tally): a full-screen red when your camera is on air and green when it is next.
• Phone camera as a source: the phone can send its camera picture to the program (RTMP or SRT).

How to connect: open the app and type the PC address (like 192.168.1.20) and the PIN, or press Scan QR and scan the code shown in the program. The app remembers them and reconnects by itself if the link drops. The phone and the PC must be on the same Wi-Fi.

Download the app and the program

Honest note: the app was tested on an Android emulator with the real program, not yet on many real phones. QR scanning needs Google Play services and has not been tried with a real code. If the scan fails, type the address by hand.

• Different network: the phone and the PC must be on the same Wi-Fi. On mobile data it will not open.
• Guest network: some routers keep devices apart on the guest network. Put both on the main network.
• Firewall: on first start Windows asks whether to allow Veloda Live on the network. Choose Allow. If you pressed Cancel by mistake, open the firewall settings and allow the program.
• Wrong address: use the address shown in the 📱 window. The PC address can change after the router restarts.
• PIN: if you forgot it, it is always shown in the 📱 window on the PC. After several wrong tries the attempts are locked for one minute; wait, then try again.

• The connection stays inside your local network only. Neither the video nor the panel goes to the internet.
• Without the PIN nobody gets in. Do not post a photo of the code.
• Use the lock 🔒 during the event so nobody stops the stream by mistake.
• You can change the PIN in the panel settings.
