Second Screen
Posted on: 27.10.2012 by Tessie Spice
Hey guys!

If I were DJing with a second person and wanted to have my own small personal screen with whatever's happening in traktor on it, could this be easily done?

I just saw the iPad mini and it sparked the idea

It's not just a question of enabling it - the Apple TV has chips in it. It's a great deal of data, too - if one is using an iPad and the rMBP, he's mirroring two retina displays.

Not easily. There's some hacks that may do what you want, but I'm not sure. Air display works well enough, but there is some latency. I like it more for using programs on my computer while sitting in the recliner. I tagged a bunch of stuff with Beatunes and used the Beatport pro app for digging all on the iPad this weekend.

30.10.2012		I want to say there's an iPad app that does that, beucase it sounds like something a friend was talking about enjoying a while ago………but I don't remember the details. I'm sure searching (google/duckduckgo) is your friend here.

Obviously depends on your laptops outputs as to what lead you need to connect it
