What is Reeltime Viewer?

Reeltime Viewer is a free companion app for Pomfort’s professional video assist software, Reeltime Pro. Designed for Apple iPadOS/iOS, it turns any iPad or iPhone into a personal on-set monitor. Crew members can tap in from anywhere on set to view live camera feeds or playback provided by the video assist operator.

Whether you need to check the frame, follow the action, or review a take, Reeltime Viewer puts what’s being shot right in your hands to collaborate with ease. With advanced low-latency streaming, it delivers a reliable, high-quality viewing experience.

How Reeltime Viewer works for the crew

The Reeltime Viewer app gives all crew with iOS devices direct access to low-latency video streams from Reeltime Pro via a local network on or near set. With just a few taps and a password provided by the Reeltime Pro operator, you can connect your mobile device. Choose from multiple streams to stay ready for instant decision-making and on-the-spot collaboration with your team.

Reliable monitoring

Delays in on-set monitoring can be disruptive and frustrating. Reeltime Viewer delivers low-latency, dependable streams of live camera feeds and playback, so you're always in sync with what’s being shot.

Tailored views

Different roles have different needs. Whether you want a clean camera feed or additional metadata like slate information, Reeltime Pro operators can create output views tailored to your needs.

View in full screen

Need a closer look? Double-tap any stream to expand it to full screen, then swipe to switch between available feeds.

Save stills

Capture and save still images from individual streams directly to your Photos app to keep or share references.

How it works for Reeltime Pro operators

Filmmaking is a cross-departmental effort, and everyone on set benefits from seeing the frame to do their job effectively. By providing dedicated, low-latency video streams to the different departments over a local network, you can reduce replay requests on your list and help maintain a quieter, more focused video village. Please note that streaming functionality is not a feature in Reeltime Lite and is only available within Reeltime Pro.

Customizability

Focus on what your team needs. Configure streams and create tailored output views within Reeltime Pro, including different layouts, crops, filters, or metadata to meet the individual demands of various roles on set.

Network streams

Reeltime Viewer receives live video and playback streams from Reeltime Pro via the on-set network using industry-standard encryption. A custom streaming protocol optimized for local wireless networks ensures very low latency and high reliability for smooth monitoring.

Security

Effortlessly meet security requirements in alignment with your production's policy by incorporating watermarks into streams.
