RecoStudio was removed from the App Store in October 2020, and it can no longer be purchased. Prior to being removed from the App Store, RecoStudio was updated to a new version, 3.2.0, which is compatible with iOS 14. There may be minor bug updates in the future, but 3.2 is expected to be the last major update and will not support iOS 15.
If you purchased RecoStudio in the past, you can still update to the most recent version and install the app on additional devices.
If you are running an older version of RecoStudio, you can update to the latest version, even though the app is no longer in the App Store. You can also install the app on a new device that is tied to your Apple ID. To do either, you’ll need to go to RecoStudio in your App Store Purchase History:
In general, any iPads, iPhones, and iPod Touches that can be updated to use Apple's latest iOS release are compatible with RecoStudio MultiCam, but we know that it is helpful to have a list when shopping for new devices.
For the best results, you want something running iOS 11 as your main switching device and devices running at least iOS 10 as remote cameras. It is important to note that older devices might not be able to access all the features in RecoStudio MultiCam. And the cameras are not as powerful so the quality will not be as clear.
Here are the compatible iOS devices by category that can be used with the latest version of RecoStudio MultiCam!
**Older iOS devices may work with Switcher Studio's services, but the video quality may not perform as expected and some features may be inaccessible.**
When using RecoStudio MultiCam, you need about 3GB per hour per camera.
Keep in mind that on the main switching device, you will need to store the footage of each camera as well as the final composition. For example, if you shoot one hour of footage using 4 cameras, then you will need 3GB on each camera and 15GB on the main switching device (3GB per each of 4 cameras, plus an additional 3GB for the final production).
Devices running RecoStudio MultiCam communicate via WiFi, so you may need to modify some of your network settings for best results during your production. If you are experiencing interference or trouble connecting while recording, we recommend using the following settings:
If you experience dropped frames, try getting cameras closer to your router or access point. You may also want to check your router to make sure frame aggregation, or packet aggregation is disabled (also referred to as TX Bursting).
RecoStudio MultiCam supports up to four cameras (four video sources). If you are using the built-in camera on your main switching device, then you can connect up to three other external cameras via WiFi.
If you disconnect the built-in camera on the main switching device, the you can connect up to four additional external cameras. You can also choose which camera is used as the audio source.
Screencasting is possible using a Mac by installing "Switcher Cast" from your Mac's App Store.
When you first open the RecoStudio MultiCam app, you will greeted by the app's home screen. This screen will ask you to choose between "Use As Switcher" and "Use As Remote Camera".
Now, it's time to connect the remote cameras to the main switching device:
With SwitcherCast, you can capture the screen of your Mac and use it as a video input in RecoStudio MultiCam. This allows you to include Keynote or PowerPoint presentations in your production, to demonstrate and teach the use of software features, etc.
For more details, please visit the SwitcherCast installation page.
With RecoStudio MultiCam, video is always recorded in Full HD (1920x1080, 30p variable), except for when the camera doesn't allow it.
Some FaceTime cameras, for example, only allow 720p video to be recorded. In general, the video quality is equivalent to what you get with the individual iPhone's Camera app.
RecoStudio MultiCam is a multi-camera recording system. This app has a built-in switcher capable of live editing (transitions between cameras and multi-camera compositions), but the production is recorded and cannot be streamed over the internet while recording.
For live-streaming capabilities and more, please consider using our sister app: Switcher Studio.
The RecoStudio MultiCam app has been designed to work with the camera sensor in its natural orientation. This corresponds to holding the device with the Home button on the right-hand side.
If you wish/need to use the device in the other orientation (with the Home button on the left), please go into the grey Settings app on your iPhone. Scroll down and select "MultiCam" -> Device Orientation -> Inverted.
If you make use of special lenses which invert the image, please go in the iPhone Settings -> MultiCam -> iSight Camera Lens -> "Invert".
Galileo was a robotic pan/tilt dock designed and sold by Motrr. This company stopped its activities suddenly in May 2016.
Currently, Galileo still works with RecoStudio MultiCam, but we cannot guarantee that it will work with future app or iOS updates. Having no help from the manufacturer, we will not be able to solve any compatibility problems, and we will likely need to remove this feature in the future.
If you are using Galileo today, please keep a copy of the current version of the app. In this way, even if the app is updated, you still have the version working with Galileo.
We highly recommend upgrading from the Galileo to either the DJI Osmo Mobile or the DJI Osmo Mobile 2, which performs like the Galileo but is still an active and functioning product.
To use the DJI Osmo Mobile 1 or 2, please follow the instructions here.
