Why Lumen
It feels like a product, not a poster.
Phone-first by default
The controller is designed around touch, quick actions, keyboard access, and route state.
Quality users understand
Native, 1080p 120 FPS, 4K+, and Custom mirror the way people already think about video.
Fast without vague claims
The page says up to 120 FPS and shows the selected route, bitrate, and packet loss.
Quality lab
Fast is better when users can see the dials.
Lumen turns the product claims into controls: route, capture quality, app target, bitrate, packet loss, and the phone URL.

NAT traversal and relay fallback avoid exposing the host.
