Best quality and latency
How to get a smooth picture with as little delay as possible.
The sender adapts to your network by itself. A few simple steps still get the best out of it.
Network
- Connect the Mac by cable to your router or switch. Then only the iPhone or iPad shares the wireless link.
- Use 5 GHz or 6 GHz Wi-Fi with as few other devices as possible. No guest Wi-Fi, no repeaters.
- Don’t use AirDrop on the Mac or iPhone during the show – it briefly disturbs the Wi-Fi.
Quality
Under Qualität (quality), choose:
- Komprimiert (WLAN) (compressed, Wi-Fi) – the default. Adapts to each device’s connection.
- Studio (LAN) – every frame on its own in high quality. Only for cable or very good Wi-Fi. Devices with a weaker connection automatically get the compressed picture.
Tip: Keep Bei Engpass Bildrate senken statt Qualität (lower frame rate instead of quality) turned on. Every frame stays sharp even when the Wi-Fi briefly drops.
What happens on bad Wi-Fi?
When a device’s connection gets weak, the sender first sends fewer frames per second, and on a very weak connection switches to a small backup picture. This only affects that one device – all others keep full quality. When the connection recovers, it switches back automatically.
Camera
Built-in FaceTime cameras add some delay of their own. For the lowest latency, use a capture card with 1080p50 or 1080p60.
