Going live

Stream status is a guided start and stop screen. It checks the camera, the Director Mini, the bond, your receiver and your Restreamer server, names the exact stage that needs attention and takes you to the right control. With a DJI camera configured, one Connect my camera button does the Bluetooth, the pairing and the start.

Modem bonding (SRTLA)

Every modem, tethered phone and Wi-Fi uplink becomes one stream. Plug an uplink in and it joins the bond; lose service and it drops out, no menus. Spare Android phones join through Moblink and relay their own cellular data. Live per-link and aggregate throughput, receive-buffer tuning and a timestamped connection log. Switch bonding off and the same tab simply lists the addresses your camera can publish to.

Cameras

• Director Mini: low-latency Program preview, scenes, graphics, stream targets, brightness, timer, BRB and Security quick actions, temperature and battery.
• DJI: pair over Bluetooth, set quality and stabilisation, see that video is really arriving, or run it straight through the router and the bond with no encoder at all.
• SJCAM, phone apps and any SRT or RTMP source, plus an extra tab that shows a page of your choice.

Companion app (Android)

Every phone on the router shares its GPS and, if you like, its cellular data into the bond. Make one phone the director and it takes up to four camera phones, lays the overlays on top, offers 720p, 1080p and 4K at 30 or 60 fps in HEVC or H.264, cuts to BRB clips with a caption and sends the show into the bond. Chat down the side of the camera screen, talkback with the crew and adding a phone from across town are Pro.

Publishing

• Restreamer on your receiver: destinations, their health, editable stream keys, start and stop, live ingest CPU, memory, bandwidth, kbit/s, FPS and uptime, a preview that explains itself when it cannot arrive, and native 4K passthrough.
• Restream.io: sign in, send the stream, start every destination or just the ones you pre-selected, titles, encoder events, and audience numbers for the header and an overlay.
• OBS Studio: scenes, audio, sources and start/stop when OBS is in the middle.

Overlays

Overlay control puts every overlay on one page: switch each on or off while live, jump straight to its builder with Edit, turn whole groups on and off, and give your encoder one URL that carries everything. Built-ins cover GPS, map, satellite, radar, lightning, weather, hourly forecast, clock, timer, chat, featured messages, polls, trivia and more. The visual designer works on a true 16:9 stage with text, live router values, artwork, icons, shapes, animations and seamless tickers, and can turn any browser JSON API into a live graphic. Export a design with its artwork and import it on another rig.

Chat

Pro Chat brings YouTube, Twitch, Kick, Facebook, Discord and Restream.io into one timestamped list you read while live. Feature a message on stream with a title, raise chat alerts, style celebrations, and put the Director Mini picture behind the chat and full screen so one phone shows the shot, the chat and the connection at once. Chat alerts the icon while you work in another tab.

Audience games

• Trivia: AI-written questions about where you are or any subject, a bank of the good ones, a countdown, scored chat answers and a leaderboard overlay.
• Polls: numbered choices, votes counted from chat, bars and the winner on screen, saved polls to run again.
• Closest guess: a picture card, a hidden answer, a timer, reveal by itself when guessing closes, saved games.
• Emoji meter: an animated bar graph of every emoji chat uses, standard or custom, with an optional title.
• Jokes: written by you or the AI, queued, on screen or read out loud, with a rating ceiling.
• What am I looking at?: point the camera at the attraction, press once, and your AI tells you what it is and its story, with the option to put it on screen.

Where you are

GPS from a USB receiver, the router or a phone: lock and satellites, map, track, distance and steps, Tell me about this place lines to read out, and map, satellite, radar and speed overlays. Weather with an hourly forecast, radar and lightning. Clock. Timer for countdowns and count-ups with one-tap theme-park actions. Theme parks: live wait times, show times and dining from ThemeParks.wiki as a ticker, scroller, list or one at a time; it even teaches the timer what you are queueing for.

Router

Per-interface throughput and a connection log, the internal modem, cell scanning and band locking for a better tower at a crowded venue, modem reboot, multi-WAN failover, and venue Wi-Fi repeater controls for captive portals, camouflage, MAC mode, BSSID locking, TTL and MTU, with the risky settings surfaced as plain warnings. Tailscale for private remote access, a Funnel public link for a helper, and a link for approved remote producers.

Diagnostics and AI

Stage cards for connection, encoding, delivery, ingest and egress, the logs and downloads behind them, and a ready-made bug report for Discord. Ask AI explains a problem in plain words. You bring your own AI provider key; the same key writes trivia and jokes, answers What am I looking at? and Tell me about this place.

Yours to keep

A guided setup asks one plain question at a time. Header chips you choose (bitrate, battery, viewers, alerts and many more) sit across the top of every tab. A dashboard login, a one-link share with a helper that opens only Trivia, Polls and Jokes, backup and restore as one JSON file with secrets left out by default, and a System update card that tells you when a new version is out and installs it without touching your settings.
