Has an IPad and iPhones and wants to be able to run his lights using a Tablet instead of a computer. How can he do this?<br> I really don’t recommend running a show completely wireless because of the connection ability using WIFI. If you lose your wireless connection then you have no show but that is up to you if you decide to take that chance.<br> I do recommend DMXis because the program runs well on computers and all you would need is either a pedal or tracks to run the lights. Below is my article on DMXis if you would like more info: <a href="https://www.learnstagelighting.com/how-to-program-with-dmxis/">How to Program With DMXIS</a><br> If you still decide that you want to go wireless completely you can use the following programs:<br> Luminair: <a href="https://www.synthe-fx.com/products/luminair">https://www.synthe-fx.com/products/luminair</a><br> LightRider: <a href="https://www.lightriderapp.com/">https://www.lightriderapp.com/</a><br> Jorge: Would like to know what I think of ShowBuddy and know more about it?<br> Personally, I do really like ShowBuddy because it’s simple and reliable. It does run alongside with DMXis. There is a Free Demo Version Here: <a href="http://www.db-audioware.com/show-buddy">ShowBuddy Demo</a><br>
