About Us

image by: peter schlossnikel

Boinx Software was founded in 1996 by brothers Achim and Oliver Breidenbach. They chose Boinx because they wanted a name that was artificial, young, hip, fun, pronounced the same in German and English and could also be a sound. We make cool photo and video software for Mac, iPhone, iPad and Apple TV.

Our main offices are situated in Germering, Germany, in sight of the Alps close to Munich – world-famous for the Octoberfest.

Live video for social media streaming The german newcomer KLAN (klanmusik.de @klanmusik ) got an offer from an independent filmmaker crew to be filmed and streamed live while performing on stage. The crew wanted to test new a software-based workflow solution for an easy, lightweight equipment setup. They choose mimoLive as the live video production software and build their whole workflow around it. The filming was done by two NDI PTZ cameras for the on-stage views, two SDI handheld camcorders for closeups and one SDI cam for the master shot. #mimoLive run effortless on a #apple #iMacPro. #music #copop2019 #musicvideo #livemusic #live #video #production #tvproduction #liveproduction #macOS #livestream #facebooklive #youtubelive #boxcast #ndi #sdi
