We all love 360 VR videos for their capability of magically teleporting us to another place, another time. However, presenting your own content can be tricky: - Teaching new users how to navigate in VR - Ensuring they watch the right content - Interacting with them while not seeing what they see - Getting their attention and pointing out important details - Guiding a group of users simultaneously LiveSYNC Presentation Solution takes away all of these troubles and puts you on the director's seat. You use a single iPad for controlling a group of smartphones, tablets and VR headsets: this master device acts as the director of the show while the other devices run in audience mode and replicate your commands instantly. A two-way link allows you to observe every client device individually and simultaneously in a gorgeous video mosaic. LiveSYNC is really easy to use: in the setup wizard you decide whether a device acts as the director or belongs to the audience, give a distinctive name for the device so that you can identify them, and reserve a communication channel for your presentation. After copying your media files in place you are ready to go. In the audience mode, the users will join your channel and wait in a lobby room until it is time to begin the presentation. They don't need to do anything - not a single button press, as everything can be controlled from the master device. In the director mode, you will instantly see when a client device joins your channel. During your presentation you can change content at any time simply by dragging your 360 photos and videos from the media library to the presentation view. The client devices report to master when they have prepared the video and the whole group begins to watch it in sync. You can pause the video at any time, let users observe their surroundings, and guide their attention to important details by adding hotspots from your own or the factory set, simply by dropping them on the presentation view. Rearrange the hotspots by dragging and add textual labels. Everything you do will be replicated to the whole group, instantly! LiveSYNC operates wirelessly using Bluetooth, hence there is no need for any infrastructure or costly network connection. One iPad can control up to 8 clients. If you have a larger audience, divide them to groups and use multiple iPads for controlling each group - or, hook up your iPad to a projector or TV via HDMI cable (or wirelessly via AppleTV) and share your own screen or the view from one of the client devices; the iPad acts as a relay. The application works in 'Player' mode (FREE) where all the features are active but watermarks are displayed on your own content until you purchase a director mode subscription via in-app payment. Three plans are available, they only differ by the amount of simultaneously controllable devices: - 'Duo': 1 VR + 1 other device, $199.99 /year - 'Quad': 2 VR + 2 other devices, $399.99 /year - 'Team': up to 8 devices (depends on iPad model), $799.99 /year Payment will be charged to iTunes Account at confirmation of purchase. Each subscription is 12 months long and automatically renews unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24-hours before the end of the current period. Account will be charged for renewal within 24-hours prior to the end of the current period, for the price of the currently active subscription type. Subscriptions may be managed by the user and auto-renewal may be turned off by going to the user's Account Settings after purchase. During subscription period it is possible to upgrade the plan (existing plan will be compensated automatically). After canceling the subscription, the plan will change back to free 'Player' mode after the paid subscription period ends. The audience mode is available for common platforms, and the director mode for iOS only. We recommend using a modern iPad for controlling the presentation.

About

Depth of Field

Read full description

Stopdown draws the sharp zone instead of handing you a table of numbers. Pick a camera, then set focal length, aperture and focus distance. The band redraws as you go: where sharpness begins, where it ends, how deep it runs, and how much of it falls in front of the focus point and how much behind. Hyperfocal distance stays on screen, so you can see where to focus to send sharpness off to infinity. FREE • Depth of field for any sensor — from full frame down to a phone • Depth of field drawn to scale, with the numbers beside it • Hyperfocal distance, and how much sharpness sits in front and how much behind • Works offline. No account, no ads, no subscription STOPDOWN PRO — ONE PURCHASE, NO SUBSCRIPTION • Focus stacking planner: how many frames to shoot and at what step to cover the whole range • Need a particular depth? We'll find the aperture for it. The same maths, run backwards • Diffraction limit and field of view • 372 camera bodies, each with its own circle of confusion • Saved presets: your kit in one tap • Manual circle of confusion for large prints, 4K and 8K WHY THE NUMBERS CAN BE TRUSTED We use the standard circle of confusion: the sensor diagonal divided by 1442. That is the criterion for an 8Ɨ10″ print that looks sharp enough at arm's length. Settings has an Accuracy section — the formula, the assumptions, and the point where the model stops holding. You can check the app instead of taking it on faith. PRIVACY Every calculation happens on your device. It needs neither an account nor a connection to work. Anonymous usage statistics show us where people get stuck. You can switch them off in Settings. iPhone only. Metric and imperial units, written the way your region writes them.
