peter I think if possible , one device can only be the actual audio replay another a video replay and multiple devices should be able to control the show , so I can dedicate each device to what it is in the settings if I choose the first device to be the audio master than this option is greyed out on all other devices as it’s taken and only one device at a time can work this way, this applies for the video output device , but when it comes to the actual control of software you have the ability to make multiple devices to be either a smart or dumb slave , with appropriate setting to create the environment required.
If you only have one device then you don’t need to choose any options and everything works as normal, if you have a need to hook up multiple devices then you need to choose which option you need on every device if you need video device you choose that option and then you get view options to what you want to display on the screen using the HDMI output, if you need audio out device only you choose this option and this becomes an audio out master device with control ability, this once enabled on a device disables that option on all other devices apart from the control functions, choosing a smart remote device gives you full control of software and can be setup on multiple devices that each device can be customised to suit its need, so I can use my iPad on stage to perform with and my phone to also control the audio when off stage, the last dumb slave mode can be setup on multiple devices and customised without having any capability to control anything it’s purely a visual monitor of what’s going on in the show with customisable view settings.
These options give everyone everything they may want , running simply or creating a complex show with easy audio and video setup and having the whole band have any combination of control of the show , with simple setup process .
Audio master- has full control as well
Video master- has no audio control, has visual display control
Smart Slave - has no audio - has full control of show - has multiple device capability
Dumb Slave - has no audio - no control capability- has layout arrangement capability, its multiple device capable.
When you select any of these 4 Moses and create the interface preferences, these preferences get remembered even if you change to other hosting preferences, so once you setup how you want your show to work you simply arrive on the gig people fire up their devices and you are ready to go , no need to go through the setups every time and even if people change to different settings at home if they get back to the smart slave mode again all settings are remembered.
This gives them the freedom to play around at home with the device in normal settings but when they go on a gig they place themselves in to the appropriate settings and all those settings are immediately remembered .
As long as it’s the same wifi or Bluetooth all devices just turn on and everything just works without any settings required as long as no one has changed their hosting preferences.
