Leverage Legacy Remote Hardware
Backbone CoHost™ lets you grow without adding expensive, single-purpose remote hardware.
Expand without it!
Remote contributors can use:
-
Smartphones (iOS or Android)
-
Laptops or field rigs
-
Standards-compliant IP audio apps
-
Existing remote Codecs
All without a central box waiting at the studio.
Cloud-Native Control — Producer Driven
Every aspect of CoHost is controlled by the producer or screener using a familiar Mac interface.
-
Bring in, hold, mute, or remove remote contributors
-
Adjust levels and manage mixes centrally
-
Control transitions just like an in-studio board
-
Use the same control surface as Backbone Talk
Field talent focuses on content.
Producers stay fully in control.
