soundiesam Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 Hey all, so I'm wondering if anyone has developed an app for Ipad that can run video, lighting and audio. Basically I'm looking at something like Qlab for ipad anybody seen anything or know of anything? Sam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjriley Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 You mentioned QLab, they do make an iPad app to control the full version of the software which I find very useful, especially during rehearsals as I can have someone running the show while still making level changes etc. without having to involve them.

soundiesam Posted February 11, 2014 Author Share Posted February 11, 2014 Yeh my issue being that I have a job where it would be useful if I could use some,thing small like an ipad not having a computer somewhere running it... I do still need a QLab license for some other stuff Sam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alistermorton Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 If you're only running on the iPad and don't have a computer elsewhere running QLab (or whatever) how will you get the outputs to the sound,video, midi etc systems? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soundiesam Posted February 11, 2014 Author Share Posted February 11, 2014 well this is the question is there an app that will play videos cues out of the VGA convertor, audio cues out of the headphone jack? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkPAman Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 well this is the question is there an app that will play videos cues out of the VGA convertor, audio cues out of the headphone jack? And lights with BlueTooth? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alistermorton Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 Maybe DMX over wireless ethernet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soundiesam Posted February 11, 2014 Author Share Posted February 11, 2014 ok so I'm guessing you guys don't know of any apps that will do what I'm asking for thanks for you input. sam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ImagineerTom Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 There are apps / programs that turn ipods / pads/phones in to effectively "media servers" and use the existing apple infrastructure (ie video and audio out gadgets) to feed in to PA systems / screens etc but there's nothing "all in one" as it is an incredibly niche and pointless way of doing it, at its core all show control systems split the rendering/playback processor load from the control/command load by using multiple computers, something you can't do in just one iPad. Choose your favourite computer based show control systems then use something like "GoToMyPC" so that you can use an ipad to remotely control it, that way you have the best of both worlds.

Basically I'm looking at something like Qlab for ipad anybody seen anything or know of anything? Sam Depending on a WiFi connection to run a show seems like a really bad idea. Losing control of all your media systems every time the WiFi drops out and having to re-sync is going to make for a very sketchy look to your show. If you are going to connect the iPad with wire to the devices you want to control, why not use a computer that there are already apps (like QLab) to do what you want?

soundiesam Posted February 11, 2014 Author Share Posted February 11, 2014 Ok so the answer to the question is there an ipad app like qlab is.... No Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LXbydesign Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 Theres no need to sound quite so off-ish! Its common sense more than anything else. Most, if not all I-Pad remote control apps come off the back of some hardware along the line. MA, Avo, Chamsys, Zero88, Behringer, Yamaha Even if there was something like an 'all in one' app like QLab - its still going to have to interface with an entire box of tricks somewhere along the line so I dont really see the benefit. Technically speaking, all the lights, sound, video could still be linked togther by ethernet and controlled from a laptop- in turn fired from an I-Pad - but for most applications that would be a bit overkill dont you think !!!
