Replace Legacy Remote Hardware

Laptop 2.png

Backbone CoHost™ eliminates the need for expensive, single-purpose remote hardware.

Instead of shipping or maintaining:

  • Portable codec units

  • Central rack-mounted receivers

  • Dedicated ISDN or proprietary links

You connect directly into the cloud, straight to your production workflow.

Remote contributors can use:

  • Smartphones (iOS or Android)

  • Laptops or field rigs

  • Standards-compliant IP audio apps

All without a central box waiting at the studio.

Cloud-Native Control — Producer Driven

Every aspect of CoHost is controlled by the producer or screener using a familiar Mac interface.

  • Bring in, hold, mute, or remove remote contributors

  • Adjust levels and manage mixes centrally

  • Control transitions just like an in-studio board

  • Use the same control surface as Backbone Talk

Field talent focuses on content.
Producers stay fully in control.

How it Works

Remote contributors connect → cloud processing → producer control → live broadcast output.
