Duet Display for Pro Tools | Control users
I've just realised that my response to a topic in the 'Post - Surround' Video' section (not usually my neck of the woods!) discussing 'Duet Display' for iPad was over three months late :)
However, I though that PT | Control users might be interested, as most likely to have an iPad connected to their Mac/PC already ... and because the app is currently on sale! Duet Display can be used as an extra screen to display anything e.g. mix/edit window, control plugins via touch interface, display meters, etc. I read the Pro Tools Expert piece on it first + tested with PT 12.7 ... all works fine, so much so that I'm surprised more don't (apparently) use it as a mini Slate Raven e.g. with the larger iPad Pro. See - http://duc.avid.com/showthread.php?t=384483 :) |

Re: Duet Display for Pro Tools | Control users
Is Duet Display actually reliable though???
I have Air Display connected via cable option and it's completely crap. Works smooth for a little and it's SUPER handy... but then constantly freezes or lags and just frustrates you, giving you only a few initial minutes of bliss before it goes to horse ****. |

Re: Duet Display for Pro Tools | Control users
I only tested for a short period and it performed fine at the highest settings i.e. 60fps and using my iPad Air's full Retina resolution.
These are probably too high for this application and might be less of a draw on my Late-2009 iMac if I was to reduce these ... so I can't speak for reliability yet but it does appear to have better reviews than Air Display so may be worth trying out at the 50%-off price of $9.99 (just checked and it's still discounted) ... and a pretty cheap way to try out Touch Bar if you're on Sierra. |

Old thread. I'm trying the Duet app for the first time and am having some problems. I work in post so all I need it for is for video display. I'm getting lag when I playback. As soon as I drag the video back to my MBP, it stops. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you. |

What I'm getting at is it is normal. You choose to live with it. Duet has to buffer the graphics and that creates lag.

Re: Duet Display for Pro Tools | Control users
It's not useable with the lag in my workflow. Are there any other options for using an iPad as a second monitor? Thank you.

The most/best I've seen to use something like Duet for was putting a metering plugin over there. NuGen VisLM, Izotope Insight, etc. (but we noticed that also affects performance slightly but won't be as bad a video and not as critical)

Re: Duet Display for Pro Tools | Control users
I use Duet Display all the time for the Video Window, the Automation and Markers floating windows. Works perfectly even on an old iPad2. Just need to set the video delay accordingly and must not forget to set back Reduce Transparency.
