Presentation setup

Hi,

I'm looking to possibly purchase around 10 iPads for use in a daily meeting. We currently have a Windows PC that is linked to a 50" TV. What I would like to do is replicate the computer display onto the iPads and lock it so they can't "accidentally" press the home button and come out of the presentation.

Would this be at all possible? Even if its not iPads, it could be a Windows tablet or Android.

Thanks in advance

Take this to the ipad discussion. You'll get a better audience for your question.

Better yet, go and visit an Apple store. Make an appointment to talk to a business specialist.

Luck.

IOS6 has an accessibility style which lets you mark out the portion of the screen you want consumers to only be able to interact with. It can technically by bypassed by pressing the home button 3 times in succession, but in the very least, that would help avoid unintentional home button presses.

You can't locked any tablet unless it has some type of business programed iOS installed. Contact Business Specialist from apple to see what they tell you.

Why lock it anyways, I would just send the ppt to each iPad/tablets and everyone can see what you are currently presenting on the 50" and they can flip around the ppt in the iPad wherever they seem fit to read more if they have fallen behind.

Hi,

Thanks for the replies! I'm just describing what I've been asked to get, my boss wants the display to be duplicated so people can't just go through the slideshow whilst he's talking. It doesn't even have to be an iPad if anyone knows whether it's possible on a Windows/Android tablet.

Thanks
