iOS app Instant Replay and timeline

The instant replay and zoom window

In the timeline of your iOS device, you can see RF and quality levels. When Instant Replay is turned on, you can simultaneously replay and listen to the 5 minute audio history of the channels on an iOS device.

To use Instant Replay on an iOS device, enable it in Channel I/O on the server.

The stop button and the stream buffer

Wavetool streams audio to the iOS device. The buffer size fluctuates widely if the Wi-Fi connection is bad. If the buffer runs out, the connection will be reset and the buffer will need to refill itself before audio playback can resume.

Start the stream by tapping Start stream in iOS.

Tap Stream Buffer to edit the buffer. The buffer size can be adjusted from 50 to 3000 milliseconds. Try with a small buffer size first and increase it if you encounter problems.
