Connect tablets to LiveEdit App
Connecting Showtime via QR Code
LiveEdit instantly generates a QR code containing both the connection information to your computer and access to the project for Cloud usage. Simply scan the QR code with Showtime, and you're all set!
Steps:
- Click on the Orbit icon in the sidebar to open the Orbit panel.
- Press the 'Share' button. A QR code will appear on your screen.
- Use the Showtime app on your tablet to scan the displayed QR code.
- Showtime will connect to your project and sync with your timeline in real-time.
Note: You can view all devices connected to your LiveEdit app in the Orbit panel.
Warning: To connect to your LiveEdit App, make sure the tablets are on the same local network—either wireless or wired—as your computer.
Can't Scan the QR Code?
If your tablet doesn't have a camera, you can use a six-digit code to connect Showtime manually.
- Just below the displayed QR Code, click on "Use a code instead."
- In the Showtime app, manually enter the provided PIN code.
- Additionally, enter the IP address found at the top left corner of the Orbit panel.
Note: Orbit requires a Production Plan.
