Avid says we have to use Ethernet, so it means using iPad's battery?
Well, it's all pretty much in the title... Avid says to use Ethernet instead WiFi, right?
So, to connect the iPad with ethernet I need a lightening adapter, so I won't be able to connect the iPad to power Am I right? Do you run it on battery? It seems so inconvenient to me... and also battery won't last like 8 hours or more what do you do to solve this problem? Thanks |

Nope.
To run it on ethernet you need the Apple Camera Connection kit and the Apple 100Mbit Ethernet adapter. The Camera Connection Kit allows you to power the iPad and Ethernet adapter at the same time. (and it is required to have the iPad on plugged-in power or the Ethernet adapter won't work) Can't use the 1GB ethernet adapter with iPads

but I don't get how it can power the iPad... I searched camera connection kit and it is a lightening to usb adapter... so if I plug the ethernet adapter to this what will I use to power the iPad?

Its not a requirement either...its just a more reliable performance. (I don't use or need one on my system BTW)

I also just use the wifi connection. Hasn't caused me any issues thus far.

I use mine WiFi and don't have any issues.. my router is in the same room as my iPad/Dock though. If you're going across a studio or in a different room than your router, I can see how you might need to add an Access Point, or a range extender.
