Which remote do you want to use?

Standard Remote

StandardRemote

The Standard Remote uses buttons and sliders to remotely control prompter functions.

The remote provides buttons for fast-forward, rewind, increase and decrease speed, next and previous marker, restart and timer. Sliders can be used to set the absolute scroll position or speed.

The remote works in both portrait and landscape. In portrait, the text can be displayed below the controls. In landscape, the text can be displayed to the right of the controls.

A display area is used to show the time status, connection status and current file.

For more information about using the controls, see Standard Remote.

Gesture Remote

GestureRemote

The Gesture Remote is designed to be used without looking at the screen.

Gestures can be assigned to prompter functions.

Gestures can be one and two finger swipes in any direction, single and double taps, rotation and pinching.

The gestures can control all of the same functions as the Standard Remote as well any of the extended commands.

For more information about configuring the gestures, see Gesture Remote.
