An iPad showing the photographer's Capture One session live from the Mac

Built for the shoot

DodoView puts your Mac's screen on several iPads at once over the studio Wi-Fi: one for the client, one for the art director, one for you. It lives in the menu bar.

No cables, no accounts, no cloud. The picture never leaves the room.

From the Mac to every iPad

Every iPad in the room

Stream to as many iPads as your Wi-Fi carries, each on its own connection. Name each iPad — "Client", "Art director" — so you know which is which on the Mac.

Capture One Viewer Mode

Set each iPad to your whole screen or just Capture One's Viewer — the image, without your tools. The Viewer keeps streaming under your other windows, so you work in Capture One as normal while the client sees only the picture. One iPad can be on the Viewer while another shows the whole screen.

Let the client browse (when you allow it)

Give a Viewer iPad control and the client can swipe through images and set stars and colour tags, straight into your Capture One session. Off by default, per iPad.

Intermission, one click

iPads start on a clean "ONE MOMENT, PLEASE" card and only see your screen when you choose. Write your own message, and pick a white card or a black one.

Cover the studio's other screens too — the photographer's EIZO, a client monitor, even one that's mirroring yours — with the same card. Your own screen is marked and never covered.

Pause a single iPad, or lift everything at once with ⌃⌥⌘I.

Lives in the menu bar

A live preview shows exactly what the iPads see, so you can check before you reveal. Screens and iPads sit in one list; give your screens names like "Photographer" and "Client monitor".

Built for bad Wi-Fi

A slow iPad skips ahead instead of falling behind, the picture softens before anyone stutters, and every iPad reconnects by itself after a dropout. Venue Wi-Fi that keeps devices apart? Turn on Direct Wi-Fi and the iPads connect straight to the Mac.
