Advanced Output App

I would be awesome if there was an app for the iPhone or iPad that you could use to modify you advanced output settings. Often I find my self in a large venue or hall in which the FOH is over 100' away from the objects that I'm mapping. Currently I usually call someone on my cell that is on stage and we play the game of --- Bottom Left Corner Up , Top Right Corner down. I've also used a vnc system to remotely control this with some success. But it would rock if I could just walk up the stage and whip out my iPhone and make the need corrections.

ya, +1 here to, i tried a VNC type system, and the latency was even more annoying than the walking back and forth from the computer..

It's too bad resolume immediately crashes when the app air display is open, (which has little to no lag, unlike a vnc client) even when the main resolume window is on a GPU connected monitor. I assume that it has to do with the airdisplay driver not supporting GPU acceleration or something, but it would be really useful for it to run even in a gimped fashion for situations like this.

Splashtop has a better latency, you even see the video @5fps or so....
but not perfect at all...

the best way i think would be using 2 devices... one for vnc and one for controlling the mouse/keyboard!

The solution would to have designated osc addresses on the corners of slices and then build a custom layout in the open-osc app.

That Air Display app works nice, but you are correct that Resolume crashes when trying to start up.
I can get PhotoBooth to run though and when moved to the air display it actually runs better than expected.
Probably OpenGL is not supported, i will try to at least not make Resolume crash, maybe there is a way around it.

Ahh, just had a look at the code and i got an access violation when running the Air app. But it was a simple fix. Now it's running fine, 4.1 will contain this fix. The controls in the Advanced Screen Setup however are a bit too small to control with your fingers and it seems that the Air app is a bit off regarding the finger to mouse cursor mapping. But it looks cool though.

is AirDisplay also able to show the video output, as an extra preview/output screen?
