We have added a preview demo video of our upcoming multichannel view support on iphone vidcam edition.  Basically this functionality will allow you to view multiple live video streams on 1 page at the same time.

It is pretty much the same functionality we introduced on our Android Vidcam Edition version a couple of months back. we are in final testing and should be submitting to Apple soon.

For the iphone/ipad/itouch implementation it will have the following functionality:

• view multiple live video channels on 1 screen at the same time
  
• choose from how many cameras to see on 1 page at a time (1,2,4,6,8,16, or 32 cameras)
  
• quick cycle button to go through different views or long press to get a pop up selection option of how many to show on a screen
  
• ability to start the app right into a specific multichannel view
  
• ability to start multichannel view on first group of cameras all of the time or the last group you exited the app on
  
• ability to choose how many cameras to start the multichannel view with every time

for the iphone you will typically enjoy 2,4,6, or 8 channel view options. for ipad 16 & 32 come into play although all camera view options are available on both types.
if you want to go into full single view on a particular camera just touch that camera on the screen while in multichannel view.

the demo video is on an iPad but it is the same for iphone and itouch.
