AirCam StudioRun your service on Zoom, on a stream and in the room, from one screen.
Phones become the cameras. AirCam Studio on a Windows PC switches between them, puts up the hymn words, the Bible verse and the slides, mixes the sound, and sends it all to Zoom, to a live stream and to the room's screens. One person at one desk.
AirCam Studio Pro: program, preview, rundown and sources on one screen.
Every phone in the church is a camera.
The free AirCam phone app, on iPhone or Android, sends the phone's picture and sound over Wi-Fi to the PC. Nothing to plug in, nothing to configure: the PC finds the phones by itself.
- 720p or 1080p, 24 or 30 frames a second, with three quality settings for the Wi-Fi you have.
- Picks up an external or wireless microphone plugged into the phone automatically.
- Tally: the phone's border turns red with ON AIR when it's live, green with STAND BY when it's next, so the person holding it knows.
- Zoom up to 6×, switch front and back cameras and the torch, all from the PC.
- Shows "Streaming to" the PC's name, the battery level, and whether the phone is running hot; the PC sees the same.
- Steps aside politely: if another app needs the camera or the mic, AirCam waits and says so.
STAND BYgreen border: you're next
A broadcast desk, made simple enough for a volunteer.
Prepare what's next, press TAKE, and it's on air. Everything else is one button away.
Switching
A PROGRAM picture (on air) and a PREVIEW picture (next). Go on air with TAKE, AUTO or the T-bar. Cut, mix, dip, wipe, push, iris or sting transitions. Six scenes to save and recall a whole layout. HOLD shows the slate and closes the mics in one press.
Sources
Phones, USB cameras, NDI and RTSP network cameras, Panasonic camera heads, screen and window capture, video files, YouTube links, PDF and PowerPoint slides, Bible verses and hymns. Click a tile to make it next; double-click to put it straight on air.
Hymns and Bible verses
Type a hymn number and the words come up, with the music playing when it goes on air (695 accompaniments, downloaded once, then offline). Type a reference and the verse appears, from the KJV, ASV or BBE. EasyWorship songs import too.
Graphics
Lower thirds in five styles with the speaker's name, a ticker, live captions, a logo, a slate, picture-in-picture, chroma or luma key, and four graphics layers. A countdown or "STARTING SOON" card that can go live by itself at the set time. Graphics are prepared on preview and go on air with TAKE.
The rundown
Build the order of service in advance: songs, scriptures, scenes, videos, cameras, presentations and stage notes. On the day, press NEXT and each item does what it's set to do. Back up a step if you need to.
Screens for the room
A room display or projector with its own picture delay, a stage monitor for the preacher with notes and a countdown only they can see, and up to three more displays, each showing what you choose.
Recording and live streaming
Crash-safe recording that plays even if the PC dies, with GPU encoding and markers. Stream to YouTube, Facebook or any RTMP server, with a second destination if you want one. Pro records each camera to its own file as well.
Remote control
A web page for a phone or tablet, a Stream Deck through Companion, macros, and keyboard shortcuts for everything that matters. A backup camera takes over if a signal is lost, and a pre-flight check runs before the service.
Keyboard shortcuts
For the moments when a mouse is too slow.
Themes: Booth Graphite, Midnight Blue, Daylight and High contrast. Settings export and import, so a second PC is set up in a minute.
An audio desk that knows where each sound should go.
Every microphone, phone, video and the PC's own sound gets a strip with a fader, mute and listen. Each strip is routed to Zoom, the room, the stream and the headphones separately, so the preacher is heard online and in the room, while a video plays only where you want it.
- Per-mic gate, compressor, 7-band EQ, noise reduction and limiter, with presets for speech, music and the Zoom far end.
- FIX ECHO, a feedback suppressor and a 60 Hz hum warning.
- Online speaker and talkback keys, an echo test tone, and timing nudges so lips and voice meet on the stream.
- A new USB mic joins the desk by itself. A two-channel DJI mic splits into two strips.
- Up to four extra rooms, each with its own picture, speakers and volume.
- Sound reaches Zoom through the free VB-CABLE driver; Zoom simply picks "CABLE Output" as its microphone.

Pro is licensed to one PC: after the trial, send the activation request from About › Activate (by email or WhatsApp) and you get a licence file back to double-click. The licence is checked only when the app starts, never during a service. Pricing is being finalised; ask us.
One PC, one afternoon.
The PC
Windows 10 or 11, 64-bit. At least a 4-core processor at 3 GHz, 8 GB of memory and an SSD; 6 to 8 cores and 16 GB for a bigger service. Gigabit Ethernet for the PC, and a 5 GHz Wi-Fi point for the phones.
Install
Zoom, then the free VB-CABLE driver, then AirCam Studio. The installer sets up the "AirCam Camera", the firewall rule and a desktop shortcut. In Zoom, choose AirCam Camera and CABLE Output.
Run the service
Add your sources, check the sound, prepare what's next, GO LIVE, TAKE. A New-PC Setup Guide and a Quick Start come with the app, and we help you through the first one.
Things churches ask first.
Do we need real cameras?
No. Any iPhone or Android phone with the free AirCam app becomes a camera, and you can mix in USB and network cameras if you have them. Most churches start with two or three phones on tripods.
Does it work with Zoom?
Yes. AirCam Studio appears in Zoom as a camera called "AirCam Camera", and its sound arrives through the free VB-CABLE driver. Teams, Meet and OBS see it the same way.
Can we stream to YouTube or Facebook?
Yes. GO LIVE sends the program to YouTube, Facebook or any RTMP server, and can record at the same time.
What about the hymns?
The words for 695 hymns are built in, with the accompaniment music, downloaded once so it works with no internet on the day. Your own MP3 named by hymn number takes precedence. Bible verses come from the KJV, ASV and BBE.
How many phones can we use?
Six source tiles are shown at once, and more can be added. Each 1080p phone uses about 8 to 12 Mbps of Wi-Fi, so give the phones their own 5 GHz access point.
Is there a Mac version?
Not yet. AirCam Studio runs on Windows 10 and 11. The phone app runs on iPhone and Android.
How do we get it?
Email support@mabeleinnovations.com. We'll send the installer and the phone app links, and walk you through the first set-up.
