Former Apple engineer develops apps to turn ipad into second screen on Mac

Apple's former engineer, Lahar Devan Rahul Dewan, developed a new application called Duet display. With this app, you just need to use its specially crafted charging cable to connect your ipad and Mac notebook to another display on your Apple computer.

Devin has worked at Apple for three years as an ipad and imac engineer. He said to BI: "The second monitor can increase productivity by up to 48%." If you have an ipad, you actually have a second computer screen. With duet, you can make the most of your ipad. Otherwise, the $700 premium toy does not work as it should. ”

For musicians, designers, and photo and video editors, the second display on the computer itself is important, and the app also leverages the touch features of the ipad, allowing you to manipulate the second display directly with your finger or mouse.

While several applications, including air display, can turn the ipad into a second screen, these apps connect ipad and Mac via WiFi, leading to a display delay. Duet display has no lag and is compatible with the retina screen resolution to take advantage of the ipad's high-definition display.

Duet display also provides power-saving options for users who use older Macs. Users can choose between regular display effects and retina display effects. In addition, users can switch between 30Hz and 60Hz screen refresh rates.

Setting up Duet display is very simple, you just need to download the app on your ipad and Mac, and then restart your Mac to finish it. In use, you'll find that if you connect your ipad and Mac, your ipad's utilization becomes very high. Your ipad display can also be set in portrait or landscape mode.

Another benefit feature is that you can set up only using the ipad as a monitor and turn off the Mac screen.

Most importantly, Duet display is the first app to actually turn your ipad into a second display. Duet display will be officially released in Monday local time www.zgios.com
