Hello,

Some options:

- use the Tagtool Player and connect Madmapper via Syphon/Spout.

- use a capture device to get the iPad video directly into madmapper

iink - I would like to clarify, because my brain just needs all the steps clearly laid out 😜 - a) run MadMapper AND Tagtool Player on my one laptop, b) connect iPad running Tagtool to Tagtool Player via wifi (hard-wire/cable is not possible, is that correct?), c) connect Tagtool Player to MadMapper via Syphon/Spout function in MadMapper.

Is that the correct procedure? Thank you!!!

@OffLeashArea yes. thats the road.

if you can run an ethernet cable - you can also hardwire an ipad. You need the ipad connectors (USB to Ethernet) - also no switch involved if you only connect 1 iPad. You can plug it directly into the laptop.

Yes- You can connect Tagtool for iPad wirelessly to Tagtool Player.

The recent update also allows you to use NDI to stream from your device to any NDI reciever. For high resolution streaming an ethernet connection is recommended.
