using ipad as touch screen monitor
Posted: 02 Dec 2015, 18:26
hello
im totally new to avolites and im already loving how well the this software works. im using the titan one as a stop gap as i currently use freetyler dmx and im wanting to move to a avolites desk but wanted to learn the functions before splashing out.
the huge problem im having is titan one not allowing midi (freestyler does) and i use it a hell of alot in shows to get me physical faders. its no suprise avo dont allow midi on this level because that would defeat the object of buying the consoles.
anyhow im trying to get some additional control using a touch screen display now as i understand this is what titan was designed for and should work great. i decided to see if i could get my ipad to run as the second display so i downloaded display duet which is an ipad app that lets me use my ipad as a second monitor. hey presto it worked and now i have extended display from my pc to my ipad.
here comes the problem:
i fired up titan one and dragged the titan program over to my ipad and opened up the visualiser on my main screen i thought great looks brilliant. then i tried to use the touch screen on the ipad and nothing it doesnt work. at first i thought it was a problem with the duet app so i closed titan down and then the touch screen on the ipad started working allowing me to control my pc from my ipad.
this has to be something to do with the software somehow blocking the touch screen output as all my other programs run seemlesly
could anyone shed some light as to wether this is just an isssue im expiriencing or if this is supposed to happen?
thankyou
