How it works

Three steps to a live wall

STEP 1

Open the app

STAGEVIS runs its own media server. Open it, plug in the projector, and the output is up.

STEP 2

Point cameras at the QR

Any phone becomes a camera in the browser, no install. Android gets a native app for rigged positions; USB cameras plug straight in, and the Mac's own camera works too.

STEP 3

Cover the whole stage

Vocalist close-up, guitarist, wide shot, crowd, live on the venue wall or straight into your stream.

Auto Smart Mode

Switch cameras and looks on the beat

STAGEVIS listens to the room and cuts between cameras and looks on the beat. Mark each camera static or dynamic: static cameras join the auto cut, dynamic ones stay off air until activated. Leave it running all night or drive it yourself; every control is one click away, including blackout.

The rig

It looks expensive. It isn't.

Multi-camera live visuals used to mean professional cameras, a crew to run them and capture cards to get every signal into a computer. STAGEVIS builds the rig from phones on stands, a MacBook or a USB camera, plus one €149 license. Try everything free first.

Privacy

Your feeds stay in the room

No cloud, no accounts, no telemetry. Camera feeds stay on your network, and recordings (any camera or the main output) land straight on disk, named and ready for the aftermovie. Online, the app checks stagevis.app for updates when it starts and about once a day while it runs; its media server may also ask public STUN servers for your network address, as any WebRTC app does.

Control

STAGEVIS takes MIDI, OSC and HTTP/WebSocket control on a stable, documented protocol. Control docs.

FAQ

Before you trust it with a show

Does it work with iPhone?

Yes — iPhones join as cameras from the browser: scan the QR, Safari opens, confirm its security warning, tap Go live. Nothing to install. The QR carries a per-session key, so a device on the same Wi-Fi can't join as a camera without scanning the code on your screen, and you can eject and block any camera. Android gets a native camera app (a direct download) for rigged positions.

How many cameras can I run?

Free mode runs two live cameras at once; the license removes that cap. Beyond that it depends on your Mac and Wi-Fi; we have tested four phones. USB cameras and the Mac's own camera are wired, so they don't spend Wi-Fi bandwidth at all.

Does it work for streaming?

Yes. STAGEVIS can stream to YouTube or Twitch by itself: paste your stream key in Settings and press Go live. Or switch on Syphon out and OBS (or Resolume, VDMX, MadMapper, Millumin) takes the program as a Syphon source, no window capture needed. Or run the output in its own window and capture that in any streaming app.

Does it need internet?

No. Pairing, camera video and the license all work on your local network, so the venue's internet can die mid-set without affecting the show. Wi-Fi between the phones and the Mac is all it needs. Only Go live to YouTube or Twitch needs internet, plus an update check to stagevis.app when the app starts; if that check fails, the app carries on.

What happens when Wi-Fi drops?

STAGEVIS reconnects on its own, and if a camera goes dark the next live one takes the screen. BLACKOUT and FREEZE cover everything else — one click each. Show-day network advice lives in the troubleshooting guide.

Will macOS let it run?

Yes. STAGEVIS is signed with a Developer ID and notarized by Apple, which checks it for malware. The first time you open it, macOS asks you to confirm: click Open.

What's actually free?

Everything, forever: every look and every feature, with two live cameras at once and a small watermark on the output. The €149 license removes the watermark and the camera cap.
