  1. Connect your iPhone and Mac to the same wireless network. It’s often more reliable to configure your Mac to create its own network, to reduce contention among multiple devices. Go to the Airport menu > Create Network, and connect your iPhone to it.
    1. On your iPhone, go the App Store, install TLRemoteCamera, and run it.
    2. On your Mac, download TCPSyphon (the link is about 2/3 down the page) and run TCPSyphonClient. In the Server dropdown menu, choose your iPhone.
    3. Open Vuo and create a Receive Image via Syphon node, connect it to an image-processing or image-rendering node, such as Render Image to Window, and run the composition.

The TLRemoteCamera is no longer available in the App Store. Instead:

  1. Connect your iPhone and Mac to the same wireless network. It’s often more reliable to configure your Mac to create its own network, to reduce contention among multiple devices. Go to the Airport menu > Create Network, and connect your iPhone to it.
  2. On your iPhone, go the App Store, and install EpocCam.
  3. On your Mac, go to http://www.kinoni.com/ and download the driver for your Mac, and install it. You may be asked to restart your Mac.
  4. Run EpocCam on your phone.
  5. In Vuo open a Receive Live Video node. Click on the device input port, and check the EpocCam device. Connect that node to an image-processing or image-rendering node, such as Render Image to Window, and run the composition.

For the record, I’ve been lately using Camera for OBS to stream NDI video into Vuo (Pro) and it works really well.

Shoot is really worth looking at. lots of tutorials and a Pro version. Really easy to use as a webcam and zero lag if wired.

Hi 2bitpunk, do you know if Shoot works on all iPhones? I have 6S and cannot get it working. I dont have a Pro version, just a basic, but it should still work (with the water mark) I think. I also tried to connect it directly to VDMX, it reads the input as Shoot USB, but only sends the black screen. Thank you for any help

Connect the iPhone using a USB to Lightning cable and it should show up in the Device List in Receive Live Video (vuo.video.receive2). I’ve just tested it to check and it works with my iPhone 7 Plus

Thanks for your replay. Yes, this is how I have it connected. It reads the ShootUSB input correctly but only shows up black screen. I dont know what Im doing wrong.
I also tried with the hdmi put but get the same result. Anyway, thank you for your help!
