iPad: Screencast without jailbreak - is that possible?
Until now, it was only possible to create a screencast from the iPad using jailbreak or special hardware. In the meantime it works without. This requires a computer and a special program.
Create an iPad screencast with "Reflector"
The software "Reflector" makes it possible to take a detour of the screen of the iPad. For this, the image is sent to the PC or Mac via Airplay.
- Download the program and install it on your PC or Mac. The demo version is fully usable for ten minutes, after which you have to purchase the full version for around $ 15.
- Start the program and open the Control Center on your iPad by swiping from the bottom of the screen.
- Activate Airplay, select your PC or Mac as the receiver and activate screen synchronization. The prerequisite is that the computer and iPad are in the same network.
- The picture and sound of your iPad are now transferred to your computer.
Record screen content with screencast software
Now you can record the screen content of your PC or Mac with ordinary screencast software. You will find a selection of tools in this practical tip.
The "Reflector" program runs on all Windows versions from XP and on Mac OS. At least an iPad 2 with iOS 5 or higher is required to use AirPlay.
