Health Stats Overview

pMix’s Health Stats panel provides real-time monitoring of your production’s performance — frame rates, network throughput, device health, and per-source diagnostics.

Opening Health Stats

Tap the Health Stats button (or the performance indicator in the status bar) to open the monitoring panel.

What’s monitored

Per-source stats

For each connected source, you can see:

  • Frame rate — Incoming frames per second
  • Packet loss — Displayed as a ratio (e.g., “3/5000 (0.1%)”)
  • Bitrate — Incoming data rate
  • Latency — End-to-end delay

Device stats (iPad)

  • CPU usage — Current processor load
  • Thermal state — Nominal, fair, serious, or critical
  • Memory usage — RAM utilization

iPhone camera stats

For connected iPhone cameras, additional telemetry:

  • Battery level and charging state
  • Thermal state
  • Storage available on the iPhone
  • Performance — Target FPS, input FPS, processing FPS, drop percentage, SRT FPS, bitrate

Output stats

  • Stream health — Connection quality indicator (green/yellow/red)
  • Bitrate — Actual output bitrate vs configured
  • Duration — How long you’ve been streaming/recording

Status bar indicators

The status bar at the top of the screen shows summary health information:

  • Green — All systems healthy
  • Yellow — Minor issues (e.g., occasional frame drops)
  • Red — Critical issues requiring attention

Tips

  • Check before going live — Open Health Stats during your pre-show setup to catch problems early
  • Monitor packet loss — Any packet loss above 0.1% on iPhone cameras indicates a network issue
  • Watch thermal state — If the iPad or iPhone reaches “serious” thermal state, performance may be throttled
  • Frame rate drops — If incoming frame rate is lower than expected, check the source device and network
