The setup of your solution affects compatibility. Currently, our mobile app allows pairing of a single device with one mobile. The Smart Remote Controller can control up to three Tail Air devices. If you utilize the OBSBOT Webcam software for computers, its capability increases. With Tail Air devices connected to NDI, there's theoretically no limit to the number of devices, provided your network status can support this setup. For a wired connection, the number of ports and capabilities of your switcher are key factors for Tail Air's multicam setup.

To capture a video signal, connect your two devices to the same switcher using either a micro HDMI or USB port. If you need to control the devices, our smart remote can manage up to three at once. For a Power over Ethernet (PoE) connection, use a VISCA-compatible control panel to handle your Tail Air devices. If you're controlling and receiving video signals from more than two Tail Air devices, consider using NDI supported hardware or software.
With NDI丨HX3 support, OBSBOT Tail Air can be controlled via the NDI protocol supported Controller and Switcher.
