iPads as touchscreens for FLX S

[drscoop]

Trying a little experiment with the FLX S24 last night and discovered I can run at least three iPads as touchscreens on the FLX S, using the Monitor and Remote apps.  I was wondering if there was a limit on just how many could be used?

One idiosyncracy I noticed was that, using Monitor on the iPads, if I changed from, say, the Cue window to the Fader window on one iPad, all iPads reflected the change and showed the same window.  However, using the Remore app, I could get screens showing a different, independent window on each, which is much more helpful, but less visually pleasing!  Is there a way of getting a similar, independent screen display using Monitor? 
 

[Also, just as an aside, I tried to upload a photo of the iPad/FLX S setup,  but got a file upload error - is the upload function having an issue? I got a file parse error (no decode delegate for this image format) and also a “cannot upload files over 563.2 kB error on a 112 kB file?]

No, there is no limit to the number of connected remotes/monitors.

That’s odd - all Remotes and Monitors should be able to view independent desktops/displays. In an older software version, all monitors would have to share the same external desktop. Please ensure you are running ZerOS 7.9.7. To confirm, tap Z/Shift -> System Information.

This is probably the quota limit for your account on the forum. We’ll look to increase this for you. 

Hope this helps,

Thanks, Edward.  The desk is indeed on 7.9.7 and the iOS apps are latest version.  Can do a quick video of behaviour if helpful?

Yes if you don’t mind, a quick video would be great.

Hmmm.....  Well, I tried to capture this as a video, but one of the iPads updated it's iOS overnight and now is working as you'd described!  All good, but will drop a video back if they start mirroring each other again.

OK no problem, glad it is working correctly.

Let me know if you have any questions.
