Sometimes one screen just isn\u2019t enough. Whether you\u2019re working in two or more spreadsheets, or doing research for a blog, two monitors simply make it easier to work in multiple windows and boost your productivity. Wouldn\u2019t it be great to use your iPad (or iPhone), as a screen for your Ockel Sirius B<\/a> or Ockel Sirius B Black Cherry<\/a>? In this article we\u2019ll explain you how to do this by using the Duet Display application.<\/p>\n

The Duet Display App<\/h4>\n

There are many apps in the Apple AppStore for dual monitoring, but we believe the application called \u2018Duet Display\u2019 is the best option around. Even though it is one of the higher-priced iOS apps (at the moment of writing this blog, the app can be downloaded for USD 15.99), the boost in productivity makes this money well spent. The Duet Display app is designed by ex-Apple engineers and has a 4,5 out of 5-star rating in the Apple Appstore. It offers a dual monitor solution without any noticeable lag, so if you\u2019re looking for a reliable and fast dual monitoring solution, this is the way to go.<\/p>\n

Another great feature of Duet Display application is that you do not need to use your PC-monitor again. Connect your iPhone or iPad USB-cable to your Ockel PC, start the application and you\u2019re ready to use your iPhone or iPad as the main monitor.<\/p>\n

How to set up the Duet Display Application<\/h4>\n

To set-up your iPad\/iPhone as a second monitor you\u2019ll need the Duet Display Application for iOS and the PC (or Mac) companion app. Since our Ockel PC\u2019s are running on Windows 10, we\u2019ve tested the PC-version of the Duet Application.<\/p>\n

    Step 4: Connecting your iDevice with your Ockel<\/p>\n

      \n

    2. Start the iOS Duet Display application on your iPhone or iPad;<\/li>\n

      How to use your iPad as a primary monitor<\/h4>\n

      The Ockel Sirius B and Sirius B Black Cherry can use the iPad as monitor in conjunction with the Duet Display App. The trick to use the iPad as a primary monitor is to ensure you set Windows 10 as auto login or to add a 4 digit password to login.<\/p>\n

      Turn on Ockel, ensure you have USB-Lightning or 30-pin cable connected to the iPad and run the Duet App. That\u2019s all! You now have the ideal portable monitor. \u2013 Thanks Alan for the tip!<\/p>\n
