iENG: Electronic News Gathering App for the iPhone & iPad

iENG is an app for news professionals to be used on both the iPhone and iPad.  iENG allows the focus, exposure and white balance to be locked and the image can be mirrored for solo stand-ups.  Wired mics are supported.


Once recording is stopped a screen appears prompting you to send it in the appropriate fashion (FTP or email) back to the TV station servers for immediate use by the editors.  It can also send to social media sites but you have to choose a lower quality setting for transmission.


Makes you wonder how long microwave trucks will be around.  And news camera ops.  And even reporters.  Is the real beginning of Viewer Created Content on the news?  


Here's the website:  http://getodd.com/iENG/iENG.html
