    Interesting. Hopefully the person selected to be the Stage has a 64gig iPhone!

    Kinda like using Teradek Cubes and Telestream Wirecast but that would be live switching.

    That does point out a limit with the initial workflow on the ’Stage’ device. Shooting 1080p on the iPhone, the capacity of a nearly empty 64 GB iPhone is about 6 hours. So using 8 iPhones certainly sets a low limit to the event time! If however, only 2 or 3 iPhones were used, you might record 2 hours from each which is very useful. This assumes it uses the same compression or APIs in iOS libraries. Apparently a future offering of the product will include a remote server so we’ll need to wait to see how that alleviates recording time constraints although with trade-offs to transmit many GBs of data.
