Download Snap Studio from the Mac App Store and open it. The app will guide you through initial permissions for camera, microphone, and local network access.
Make sure your NDI cameras are on the same network as your Mac. Snap Studio will automatically discover available NDI sources.
Save your camera assignments, scenes, and settings as a profile. Load it instantly for recurring events like weekly services.
In the camera panel, click each slot and select an NDI source from the dropdown. You can use PTZ cameras, DSLRs, iPhones with Snap Camera, or any NDI source.
Create scene presets for different parts of your service: sermon, worship, announcements. Each scene remembers which cameras and layouts to use.
Turn on automatic camera switching so the program output always has a live feed, even if an operator misses a cue or a camera goes offline.
Check each camera feed in the preview panel before going live. Verify all sources are connected and framed correctly.
Click a camera to cut or transition to it. The program output updates in real time for your stream or venue displays.
Hold the push-to-talk button to communicate with remote camera operators running Snap Camera on their iPhones.
