Mirror sessions done with your device to a TV (Slideshow)

Mirroring the app screen to a TV will make the 360 booths more of an experience for everyone watching. It can be mirrored wirelessly using an Apple TV box, Chromecast or wired using an HDMI cable. The external session can be launched on a portrait or landscape TV.
You can also enable a QR sharing bar. That will allow the visitors to see the 4 (2 for portrait) latest files and use a QR to download the files.

There are two types of TV experiences: session and slideshow. The Session experience shows everything the camera device is doing, live view, countdown, end result. The Slideshow experience displays gallery elements in random order. The latest will display the end results after a session is finished (enable ‘Slideshow always’ to show gallery elements only).

Wireless mirroring:

  • iOS: Swipe down the Control Center of your iPhone or iPad. Tap on the ‘Mirror Screen’ icon tapping your Apple TV box item.
  • Android: Use ‘Google Home’ app to link to your Chromecast device.

Wired mirroring:

  • Plug one end of the HDMI cable into a TV, then the other end into an adaptor compatible with your iPhone or iPad connector, then connect it to your device.
