When you're making a film or TV show or shooting a live event, the people who need to see your work often can't be there in person.
RePro lets you watch video from any production on your phone, computer, or tablet - whether it's happening live right now or already recorded.
Two ways to use RePro
While filming:
Watch live, straight from the camera. See what's happening on set or in post-production and interact in real-time.
Example: You're filming in Vancouver. Your studio executive is in Los Angeles and your dailies colourist is in Paris. They see the live camera feed on their respective devices without flying to set. They have a chat about what they see and add annotations.
After filming:
Watch and annotate pre-recorded footage.
Example: Your editor finishes a cut at 6pm in London. The director in New York watches it at 1pm their time and leaves notes on specific scenes.
How to watch
If you just need to watch a stream:
Someone from production and/or the technical team will give you access one of three ways:
Guest Link (fastest, no setup - for passive viewing only)
Copy-paste a guest link into your browser and watch instantly.
No account needed.
Perfect for infrequent viewers or quick reviews.
RePro Stream Viewer App (mobile - best for passive viewing with some controls)
Download from the App Store (iPhone, iPad, Apple TV).
Requires an invitation to a project account, or a guest link.
Optimised for watching on mobile devices or your TV.
RePro Stream Web App (best for team members who also manage settings or need to interact with whoever is streaming)
Open in your browser at app.reprostream.com
Requires an invitation to a project account.
Use this if you need to watch AND interact with streams, or to manage project settings, users, or security.
Most viewers use the mobile Viewer App or guest links in browser.
The Web App is mainly for production team members who need to control access and settings.
Setting up RePro (for technical teams)
If you're setting up RePro for your production:
RePro requires some setup before anyone can watch.
This is not typically handled by average viewers.
Technical operators, camera operators, DITs, etc., feel free to read on!
The setup involves:
Creating an organisation on the Web App.
Creating a project under the organisation
Connecting your camera or video source using the RePro Connect App (a desktop encoder which can be downloaded here) or a hardware encoder
Note: the Connect desktop app is its own standalone app and is not the same thing as our mobile Viewer App or our in-browser Web App.
Inviting team members to join the organisation and/or project; Or generating and sending guest viewing links
Unlike consumer apps, you can't just "start streaming" without this setup first. But once it's configured, streaming and viewing is simple.

Why film and TV productions use RePro
Think of it like Zoom or Twitch, but designed specifically for professional film and television productions - with the security and tools that studios require.
Security:
Only people you invite can watch. Watermarks and encryption prevent leaks. Studios like BBC, Netflix, and Amazon already trust RePro with unreleased content.
Collaboration:
Built-in live chat and timestamped markers. Tag specific moments. Discuss what you're watching in real-time.
Control:
Decide who sees what, when they can watch, and for how long. Remove access instantly when needed.
Flexible deployment:
RePro runs on secure video engines hosted in London UK. It can also be set up to work with your own video engine hardware at a location or cloud solution of your choice.
Learn about enterprise deployment options or contact us at [email protected] if you wish to discuss a bespoke set up that suits you.
