Camera Control Overview
pMix lets you remotely control cameras directly from the iPad — adjusting zoom, focus, exposure, and more without touching the camera.
Supported camera types
| Camera Type | Controls Available |
|---|---|
| iPhone cameras | Zoom, focus (tap/manual/auto), exposure, white balance, torch, camera switch, ultra-wide |
| NDI PTZ cameras | Pan, tilt, zoom, presets (via NDI PTZ protocol) |
How it works
Camera controls appear automatically when you select a source that supports PTZ:
- Select an iPhone camera source to see iPhone-specific controls (zoom, focus, exposure, white balance, torch)
- Select an NDI source with PTZ capability to see pan/tilt/zoom controls
Controls operate on the preview source — select the camera in preview to control it, review the shot, then transition it to program when ready.
PTZ presets
Save and recall camera positions:
- Store a preset to save the current zoom/position
- Recall a preset to snap back to a saved position
- Presets are numbered and can be triggered via the UI, gamepad, or OSC
See PTZ Presets for details.
