Use your iDevice as an extra display for your Mac
I wonder how they achieve "Zero lag". I've been using similar software ( AirDisplay [1] ) and the lagging is awful.<p>You have to be certified hardware manufacturer if you want to use the USB connection to transmit any data between the iPad and your Mac [2]. So my bet is they either use WiFi ( which can roughly get 60fps on retina resolution ) or Bluetooth 4. In both cases I think the refresh rate would not satisfy in a lot of cases, e.g. playing a YouTube video through their software on the iPad.<p>1: <a href="https://avatron.com/applications/air-display/" rel="nofollow">https://avatron.com/applications/air-display/</a>

Done.<p>> No need to worry about firewall settings, Wi-Fi speed or your 802.11n network.<p>> Duet is secure, simple, and allows you to use your iOS and OS X devices in harmony.<p>So I guess I was wrong with my bets. Maybe they got a hardware manufacturer license from Apple. Anyway launch is on 16th, so let's see.<p>3: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/duetdisplay/info?tab=page_info" rel="nofollow">https://www.facebook.com/duetdisplay/info?tab=page_info</a>
