OBS scenes, Streamlabs alerts and NDI inputs — controlled from an iPad on set or a phone in the booth. The preview is true-time, so the "one more take" walk back to the desk is gone.
Remio mirrors the OBS window as the workstation renders it — the scene list, the source list, the audio mixer, the multiview preview, all scaled and touch-friendly on an iPad. You aren't driving a "remote control" UI; you're touching the real OBS. Tap a scene and the broadcast cuts. Long-press for the scene context menu. Drag a fader and the level changes. Tap the eye icon and a source disappears — all working because you're touching the real menu.
Studio-mode preview / program renders to the iPad exactly as it does to the rig.
A serious streaming workstation has capture cards, an audio interface, NDI feeds and OBS with thirty scenes. None of that travels — the cables are real. What travels is you.
OBS's actual scene list, rendered at the workstation's pixel density and scaled to the iPad. Tap a scene; the broadcast cuts to it. Long-press for duplicate, rename and transitions — all working as expected because it's the real menu.
The OBS audio mixer faders track the iPad finger drag in real time. Pull the mic down for a cough, push it back up after. The VU meters update at the workstation's frame rate so you can read your level dynamics from across the room.
Tap the eye icon next to a source to toggle its visibility — for the cam-cut moment when the host needs to disappear from the broadcast without changing the underlying scene composition.
Preview / program split renders to the iPad as it does to the rig. Preview the next scene on the left, the live program on the right, tap Transition or a Studio-mode shortcut to cut.
A live music-and-talk stream needs constant audio attention: bring the music up between segments, duck it under speech, swap the cue track, mute the chat alert talking over the host. All of these live on the workstation's OBS mixer and its Voicemeeter or Loopback routing — and all are reachable from the iPad in your hand without leaving the mic. One tap mutes the broadcast mic when a cough starts; the VU silences immediately so you can see the mute is live.
Re-route the discord guest from the broadcast mix to monitor-only, without leaving the camera.
Most "remote OBS" wrappers add half a second of latency by re-encoding the multiview as streaming video. Remio uses the same hardware H.265 path that powers gaming — about 8 ms of processing latency on LAN, measured internally, below what a human can perceive.
The broadcast pipeline (OBS to Twitch or YouTube) lags several seconds because of CDN and transcoding — independent of Remio. The iPad preview shows what's on the workstation's display right now, so a scene switch fires immediately even though the audience sees the cut later.
Broadcast directors call shots from a control booth with sub-frame latency to their multiview. Remio gives a one-person show the same model: the workstation is the technical bay, the iPad is the director's surface — same low latency, same trust in what you see.
NDI moves camera feeds between machines on the LAN; Remio gives you the control surface. Use NDI between the camera bay and OBS, Remio between the OBS workstation and your iPad. The two coexist — NDI uses its own multicast, Remio uses ephemeral UDP.
On a switch that already handles NDI's multicast load, Remio's added traffic is small — 3 to 10 Mbps per session — and is absorbed without contention. If your network runs NDI, it runs Remio alongside it.
Direct answers, no marketing detour.
Install Remio Host on the streaming workstation with the capture cards and OBS, the client on the iPad you bring to set, and pair with a six-digit code — free, no account, no card. The walk back to the desk is finally gone.
