We posted a video of the Total Control Android Vidcam Multichannel View Options on our Youtube Channel.

 The options are:

• Default Cameras:
• This option allows you to choose how many cameras will show on the screen by default when you enter the multichannel view.
• Options are: 2,4,6,8,16,32 cameras
  
• Show Group: 
• This option allows you  to choose which cameras will show by default when you enter the multichannel view.  Options are:
• First Cameras: this will show the first camera group in the camera list starting with camera 1 always.
• Last Cameras: this will show the last group of cameras you exited the app from previously when you enter the multichannel view.  great for picking up where you left off.

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.

We put up a video as well as tutorial on how you can now remotely skin the iphone remote edition application.  This function allows you to overwrite the default icons in the application with your own.  Also you can provide your skin to the community to share with others or load it locally via your own web server if you want to keep it private.

Pretty much going to be the same as our iphone/itouch/ipad IR remote here
Total Control Iphone - Itouch - Ipad Remote Edition Click Here

 It will not have the security functions and profiles in the initial release though.  Other than that it will have the main IR functionality such as IR dbase support, learn IR functionality, macro support, prebuilt GUI for device types, etc.  So basically you can set this all up in less than 1/2 hour for many setups.

It will be missing punch through support in the initial version but you can override buttons with learned IR so you can basically punch through manually for now until we add it in.

On the hardware side it will support the bitwisecontrols BC4 and HAI HTX Home Theater Extender

Should be released within the month directly via our website.
