| 1329419 | 2013-02-21 22:06:00 | Hi, I'm keen to save costs and use my Android 10" tablet as the teleprompter screen for filming . The set up we've done previously is set up a skype video call between the Mac (which as a teleprompting software) and the Android, and using Skype's Share Screen setting, however it is not very reliable - the call drops, and it lags sometimes . I have heard of using an Ad-hoc system - don't understand this, could someone explain the concept of this? I am thinking of finding a way to make the Android tablet a second monitor, effectively, and then move the mirrored talent window to the second monitor (the tablet) . Would that be the way to go? Any good software/apps that someone here has tried & tested? Thanks caffy |

| 1329420 | 2013-02-21 22:34:00 | Er, hold the horses. Just been told about AirDisplay which I've just tried and works perfectly on this PC and the tablet. Need to test it on the Mac. | caffy (2665) | ||
| 1329421 | 2013-02-22 05:33:00 | Tested on a Mac to the tablet, prompter doesn't scroll smoothly on the tablet. So looking into making the tablet 2nd monitor via HDMI cable, with something like this (pbtech.co.nz) - would the Mac recognise the tablet as a 2nd monitor or duplicate it instead? Also, if I want to set up an ad-hoc network (I suspect the wireless internet connection here may be too slow, hence the lag), can I set it up on the Mac, and then get the tablet to join this network? Or do I have to change things on the tablet too? |

| 1329422 | 2013-03-04 09:40:00 | Just a FYI.... We played around with ad-hoc and finally got it working. Seems too much of a bother so looking more and more into getting a HDMI connection between the tablet and the laptop. Toying with the idea of buying a 11" monitor instead...do such things exist??? :) |
