How to configure Teleprompter remote control

The LPM iPads have the Teleprompter app installed. For remote control, two iPads will be required, one to be viewed by the talent (the Host iPad) and the second to be used to remotely control the first (the Remote iPad). But please note that one Remote iPad can control up to seven Host iPads simultaneously. Start the Teleprompter app on the Host iPad. You will be prompted to choose a script. Do not start playing a script yet. Once a script is playing, it will not be possible to connect to a remote iPad. If a script is already being played, return to the 'My Scripts' window. Scroll to the bottom of the 'My Scripts' window and choose Remote:

Choose 'Host Session' when prompted:

The window should change to:

Prompt that Host iPad is ready for a remote connection

Note that the iPad hosting the Teleprompter session is named "Norcissus'. Now, move to the Remote iPad which will be used to control the Teleprompter session. Scroll to the bottom of the 'My Scripts' window and choose 'Remote', as on the first iPad, but choose 'Join Session' when prompted:

Prompt for session type on Remote iPad

When prompted, choose the iPad on which the Host session was started:

Click Done. (Note that this Remote iPad can control up to 7 Host iPads.) If the connection is successful, the window should change to:

As the prompt instructs, return to the Host iPad and open the desired script there.
