**Second Screen** Hey guys! If I were DJing with a second person and wanted to have my own small personal screen with whatever’s happening in traktor on it, could this be easily done? I just saw the iPad mini and it sparked the idea 😃 ---

Yes, just send a mirror/clone image to the external monitor. Obviously depends on your laptops outputs as to what lead you need to connect it ---

You can use the airdisplay app with the iPad, but there may be latency issues. ---

Is there a way of only displaying part of the screen on the external monitor? Like a close-up of the effect decks or something? ---

> [@MisterSwisster](#): > > Is there a way of only displaying part of the screen on the external monitor? Like a close-up of the effect decks or something? Not easily. There’s some hacks that may do what you want, but I’m not sure. Air display works well enough, but there is some latency. I like it more for using programs on my computer while sitting in the recliner. I tagged a bunch of stuff with Beatunes and used the Beatport pro app for digging all on the iPad this weekend. ---

Wouldn’t it be nice if apple enabled airplay mirroring between devices, not just to an apple tv. Quite niche appeal there I guess. ---

I want to say there’s an iPad app that does that, beucase it sounds like something a friend was talking about enjoying a while ago………but I don’t remember the details. I’m sure searching (google/duckduckgo) is your friend here. ---

It’s not just a question of enabling it - the Apple TV has chips in it. It’s a great deal of data, too - if one is using an iPad and the rMBP, he’s mirroring two retina displays.
