Orbit streams the rows you choose to viewers on the same local network — iOS devices running the RePro app, or any browser via the Orbit Monitor page — with no external server, account, or internet connection needed. Use it to give a camera op, director, or anyone nearby a live look at your rows, with per-viewer access codes and quality monitoring.
Turn Orbit on and open it
- Open Main Settings (gear icon) → Orbit Streaming section → switch Enabled on. (This master switch stops every active Orbit stream the moment you turn it off.)
- Close Main Settings. An amber Orbit Device Control button appears in the main-window footer. Click it to open the Orbit window.
The footer button only appears while Orbit is on and the app is unlocked (see Security & PIN Lock).
To publish GUI rows (BETA), FILE rows (BETA), or use the RKT direct-encode mode, turn on the matching switch in Main Settings → Beta Features first.
Publish a row
In the header of any row you want to share, click the small round amber ORBIT button. Hollow means off; filled with spinning dots means it's publishing. Repeat on each row you want viewers to see.
Create and share an access code
- In Orbit Device Control, click + Generate Code. A new code appears with an auto-name and all rows permitted. (Limit: 50 codes.)
- Click the code's name to rename it (e.g. "Camera Op"), then press Enter.
- In the expanded code, click the A / B / C row chips to choose which rows this viewer sees (drag to reorder them).
- Share it:
- Click the QR icon and have the viewer scan it with the RePro app or the iOS Camera app, or
- Click the copy icon to copy the code and send it. The eye icon reveals the code briefly if you need to read it aloud.
Two defaults to know: new codes are Video Only (no audio until you uncheck it) and have Snapshots off (tick Snapshots to let viewers grab stills).
Approve viewers manually
- Expand the Settings section and turn on Require Approval for Join Requests.
