For environments without internet access, Curator offers an offline solution using Live Connect Technology. This method allows photos from the capture device to be sent to a 2nd iOS device (iPhone or iPad) running the curator app all while being on the same wireless private network.
How It Works:
Run your event on an iPhone or iPad using the Curator app
Enable/start Live Connect on that device (the capture device)
Connect a second iOS device (iPhone or iPad) to the same local Wi-Fi network (must be your own network with no firewalls)
On the 2nd device do NOT start live connect, only connect via the Live Connect page to the capture device in the devices page in live connect. (top of page).
Then on the 2nd device, run the event but this time press slideshow. Choose your settings and thats it.
Key Features:
Works without an internet connection
Supports single or quad image/video slideshows
Great for remote or bandwidth-limited venues
Requirements:
Two iOS devices with Curator installed
Local wireless network with no firewalls
TV with a iOS device connected via a HDMI dongle
📝 Notes and Recommendations
The HTML5 and Apple TV methods require internet to function correctly.
The Live Connect method is ideal for offline setups, but initial configuration may require technical setup.
Make sure to test all setups prior to your event to ensure compatibility and performance.
