Dear Proto family,
As part of our commitment to providing the best and most innovative solutions, we are excited to announce a significant upgrade to our product offerings.
As technology advances, so do we. To keep bringing you the best service and the latest features, we're moving all Live Beaming capabilities over to our iOS Proto Studio App beginning October 8, 2024. After this date, the Lenovo CPU included in the Live Beam Kit will no longer support Live Beaming. Other components in the kit will not be affected and can be easily integrated with our new app-based solution. This change allows for a more advanced, reliable, and secure experience, along with new capabilities and easier set up.
Introducing Our New App-Based Proto Studio:
Our updated Proto Studio App is designed to integrate seamlessly with your workflow, offering greater flexibility, improved performance, and a range of new features. This transition will ensure you stay at the forefront of technology with a solution that grows with your needs.
- Your very own recording studio
- External camera support using the iPad Pro
- Embedded filters
- Automatic upload and encoding to your Proto Cloud account
- Lower latency and increased reliability
- Higher security
As a valued Proto Platform Client, we want to make sure you are ready to continue your Proto beaming experience.
We have created a simple checklist with needs and recommendations:
- Required for Beaming without External Camera
