What Larix Broadcaster is

Larix Broadcaster is an encoder-based app for streaming live video and audio from smartphones and tablets. It runs on Android, iOS, and macOS, supports resolutions up to 4K, and can send streams to multiple destinations. Supported protocols include SRT, RTMP, NDI, WebRTC, RTSP, Zixi, and RIST. Video encoding uses H.264/AVC, with HEVC on supported devices as a Premium feature; audio uses AAC except for WebRTC, which uses Opus. Controls include portrait or landscape orientation, camera switching, recording, screenshots, audio-only capture, pause, and standby. Overlays can contain local or remote images, web, text, HTML widgets, GPS data, and timestamps. Larix Tuner can control multiple app instances remotely, back up and restore settings, track statistics, and automate workflows through a REST API. The free plan covers core streaming and encoding, while Larix Premium costs $9.99 a month and adds WebRTC output and premium streaming features. Without Premium, streaming stops after 30 minutes free plus 30 minutes with a mandatory overlay.
