Streaming & Recording Overview

pMix can send your program output to multiple destinations simultaneously — live streaming platforms, network outputs, and local recording.

Output types

RTMP streaming

Stream to any RTMP-compatible platform:

YouTube Live
Twitch
Kick
Facebook Live
TikTok Live
X (Twitter)
Restream.io
Any custom RTMP server

pMix has built-in presets for each platform with recommended settings.

NDI output

Send your program as an NDI source on the local network. Other NDI-compatible software and hardware can receive it — useful for feeding a recording PC, a second mixer, or a confidence monitor.

SRT output

Output via Secure Reliable Transport for reliable delivery over unpredictable networks. SRT is used by many broadcast facilities and cloud ingest services.

HLS output

Output as an HTTP Live Streaming (HLS) feed for browser-based viewing.

Local recording

Record your program output directly to the iPad’s storage. Recording works independently of streaming — you can record without streaming, stream without recording, or do both simultaneously.

Starting and stopping

Configure your outputs in Settings → Streaming
Tap the Start button to begin all enabled outputs
The status bar shows live indicators for streaming and recording
Tap Stop to end all outputs

You can also control outputs individually via the settings panel or OSC commands.
