PromptSmart Pro Remote Control is an optional, companion app to the PromptSmart Pro teleprompter app (subscription required) that lets you control the scrolling of your content with a simple tap of your finger to move it forward or backward, start/stop your presentations, and return to the beginning via a WIFI connection or mobile hotspot. The Remote Control allows you to mirror the screen of your prompter display so that the content of the teleprompter display can be viewed and re-positioned from a distance. Two iOS devices with a history of connection will learn each other and connect more easily afterwards. If the remote screen sleeps, the connection will automatically be re-established once the remote control app is made active again (after a few moments).

- Wireless Bluetooth LE control
- Remote configuration and operation
- Gamma and gamut adjustment
- Custom 3D LUT application
- 4K-to-HD downconversion
- Image analysis tools

The ATOMOS - Remote app provides external controls for ATOMOS devices including the Shogun, Shogun Ultra, Shogun CONNECT as well as all NINJA V equipped with the ATOMOS CONNECT accessory or an AtomX SYNC module. The app communicates wirelessly via Bluetooth LE to perform remote configuration and operation tasks. Input options let you select connection type, select gamma/EOTF, and adjust gamut settings. For monitoring, AtomRemote can control playback, select dynamic-range settings, apply custom 3-D LUTs, and use default color-space transformations. Output controls provide options for 4K-to-HD downconversion and HDR output. In addition to starting and stopping a recording, AtomRemote can activate a full suite of image-analysis tools, including exposure and focus assistance. Being able to adjust these settings remotely is ideal for situations where it is difficult or unsafe to access your rig, such as when it is mounted out of reach as part of a “crash cam" setup or on a gimbal or stabilizer.
