The recommended set up for the show laptop is with an external monitor or graphics switcher, attached to it, otherwise you might experience a small lag in PowerPoint's response to clicks. It's an anomaly with PowerPoint and not RemCue.
To use the Presentation Control System:
-
Download the zip file to the show computer (the one that actually runs the presentation)
-
Extract the file and double click the app
-
You may get a Windows Protected Your PC warning when you launch it. If you do click the "More Info" link and then "Run Anyway".
-
Once launched, enter the EVENT CODE and click "Connect"
-
If a valid code is entered, you will get a message that it has connected to the event
-
The operator screen allows you to enable or disable the control as needed
IMPORTANT NOTE:
The control app sends a Page Down or Page Up keypress to the active application when a presenter clicks, meaning the presentation software needs to be the active program. If you're in slide show mode, it will be active.
