Remote control & screen recording for group Xcode + iPhone lectures?

I'll lecture on programming the iPhone.
Based on my past experience with lecturing on Java programming (and the hurdles of correctly recording all this), I want to access the students' OS X desktops right from my (lecturer's) OS X desktop.
I need a solution with the least overhead. That is, keeping open, say, 6-8 remote sessions in the background to quickly switch to should not put a noticeable burden on the lecturers' machine (currently a Mac Mini). If this achievable, I need an offline solution that can connect to the client OS X desktops in less than 4-5 seconds so that I don't need to wait much.
I consider supporting high-resolution, high-quality (with audio) video recording without putting much burden on the CPU a definite advantage. (No problem if the particular "mass VNC / remote desktop" solution doesn't directly support this, however - I can go the "separate screen recorder" route.)

I understand the Ipad is no complete substitute for a computer, but since I have mine, I use no more the lap or netbook for classroom presentations; I found easier to use the Ipad connected to a projector with the vga adapter. I see no limitations or problems, I simply synchronize my powerpoint presentations from my PC to the Ipad, and that's all. The Ipad is even better, you just touch "play" on keynote and the presentation begins immediately on  the screen; you don't have delays or need to change from the computer display to the projector. When synchronizing,  you have sometimes to arrange some image or text but it is no major problem. What is strange to me, is to have to go to the desk where the ipad is, to change slide each time. The Ipad is a step to the future, why cannot be remote controlled? Why can't I just walk around the room with my Ipad in my hand, speaking to the audience, and advancing slide just touching my Ipad when I want? I expect Apple, or somebody, design soon an inalambric device to be connected to the ipad, with a receiver connected to the projector, as there are so many for the laptops. I will run to buy it. Apple, please listen.

  • Screen recorder for iphone 4 ios7

    I heard about reflector. But it requires iphone4s minimum. I also tried to use software https://github.com/coolstar/RecordMyScreen to record, but it shows blackscreen because after doing research, it seems apple banned screen recording software from third party or something. It is only available for ios6. I tried to downgrade to ios6, but apple wont allow me to do that. So is there any solution?I appreciate for your help. Thank you.

  • Problems converting screen recording for DVD

    I have made a screen recording using Quicktime and also Camtasia for Mac. I am recording live currency charts and want to use this in a DVD but I can not find the proper combination of recording and exporting. I can export a good copy that when watched in Quicktime is excellent but when I try to render it for DVD quality it is blurry. I would appreciate any help here. This needs to be the highest quality possible.
    Thanks

    Look into Toast, Visual Hub & Video Monkey took the place of Visual Hub.

  • HEY CREATIVE!!!! Where is the remote control plug-in for Mediasource 5?

    I just upgraded to Mediasource 5 only to discover that this version doesn't offer any support for my Creative remote control. The remote control plugin on the downloads page says:
    "This download is for all Creative MediaSource? (version 3.00.6 or later) users currently using a Creative remote control."
    ...But when I try to install this plugin, it doesn't recognize that Mediasource 5 is installed. The description should read: "version 3 ONLY".
    I found other threads on this as well. The only resolution I found (aside from switching back to an earlier verision of Mediasource) suggested the use of third party software.
    Come on Creative, Mediasource 5 and it's other plugins have been officially available for download for since Dec. 22, 2006. That's 7 months.
    7 MONTHS!
    I've got to admit that I use my remote too infrequently to bother going back to an earlier version of Mediasource but WTF, I shouldn't have to compromise.
    It's things like this that contribute in a large part to Creative's loosing market share.

    Anyone? I need the volume control panel to enable the spdif out to my external decoder!

  • Screen recorder for 8.1 RT

    I'm wondering if there is a thing for windows 8.1 RT that is a screen recorder built in to the machine?
    pleas could you answer soon

    Hello SkyBlockMason,
    If my understanding is right, you want to use the steps recorder in Windows 8.1 RT.
    We could take the following steps to open steps recorder:
    1. Press “Windows Logo” + “R” keys on the keyboard
    2. Type in “psr” in the run command box and press “Enter”.
    For more information, please take a look at the following thread similar to this issue.

  • Need a way to remotely control a camcorder for live streaming

    Hi all,
    I purchased a Canon Vixia HF R40 for streaming. It works well enough when I use the camera's HDMI out to a Blackmagic Intensity Pro card and stream via Livestream.com.
    The problem I'm having is that the camera is permanently mounted about 8' up a wall, and I sometimes need zoom it in or out for different programming. Reading the box, I expected to be able to us WiFi to remotely control the zoom, but turning on WiFi turns off the HDMI output.
    Questions:
    1) Will the Canon CameraWindow software on my computer allow me to control the zoom the R40 via USB, or is it just for transferring previous recordings?
    2) Is there a different camcorder that will allow me to stream the HDMI output and zoom?

    1. No, as far as I know you cannot control the camera via USB.
    2. I believe that the last camcorders in Canon's M series (M400, M40, M41) came with an IR remote which could control the zoom.

  • Need help with my Toshiba remote control and receiver for Qosmio G30 161

    Hello to all
    I have a Toshiba Qosmio G30-161 and with it I have a Toshiba remote control and a Toshiba remote control receiver, this is the first time I have used it (tried to that is), my problem is the remote is not working on the computer when I press any program buttons the computer does nothing.
    I have installed four brand new AA batteries and the remote works fine its sending signals to the receiver, the receiver the detecting the remote as a red light appears every time you press a button and as for the computer I have checked the drivers and the USB is picking up the receiver as a E-home remote receiver which I have checked with Toshiba and that is correct, so all in all the remote is working, the receiver is picking up signals and the pc has detected the receiver but nothing works, I have installed remote control manager but this still has done anything. I have spoken to Toshiba help and support and the end result is they are not sure what the problem is. Can anyone help I require the remote for slideshows for customers as I??m a photographer.
    Also to confirm I am running Windows XP MCE addition.

    Hi there,
    this remote contol works, if you use it without any special drivers and special software, only in the Media Center.
    But if you install such stuff like [WinLirc|winlirc.sourceforge.net] then you should be able to get some functions for your presentation.
    Please try this tool and check if it works.
    By the way: If I were you I would first read the Manual and FAQ of WinLirc before starting because its a little bit tricky to handle the program. :) (Too many settings :D)

  • Is there a way to remotely control my iPad 2 using my iPhone?

    I use my iPad in my car to entertain my child while driving and I would like to know if there is a way to change the movie he is watching (in the backseat) using my iPhone while I am sitting in the front seat?  I think it would be great if I don't have to physically remove the iPad from its headrest mount to change to a different show.

    A google search produced nothing in the App Store which will let your iPhone remotely control an iPad's video play.
