Solutions
A studio that fits in a bag.
A MacBook and the phone you already carry make a remote studio: Studio Link back to the main desk, Companion as your control surface and camera.
Checklist
What reporting from the field needs
- Studio Link back to the main studio on its own channel and track
- Companion as the control surface in your hand — faders, record, markers
- The phone camera as a live studio camera, permission-based
- Pairing over the local network with a six-digit code, no cloud account
- Talkback with the desk while you are off the air
- Crash-safe local recording that survives a dying battery
- Relay fallback for networks that block peer-to-peer
- Paired devices you can revoke when the gear comes home
ShioCaster
Why reporters pick ShioCaster
Companion as studio camera
One phone is your fader bank, your marker button and your camera angle.
Local-first pairing
Discovery and a six-digit code on the spot. No account standing between you and air.
Crash-safe recording
Direct-to-disk with a recovery file, because the field is where things go wrong.
