Using external screens

About the second document view

The Navigator panel is used to adjust the zoom level, the displayed region and the rotation of the document on the external screen.

Toolbars and Studio panels are shown only on the iPad's internal display. However, user interface elements that provide helpful feedback about your interactions—e.g. the selection bounding box and tool attributes such as brush size—can be shown on the external screen as well.

The external document view is not constrained to the same aspect ratio as your iPad's built-in screen, enabling you to take advantage of large widescreens. Depending on the connection method, the document view may be letterboxed or pillarboxed.

Settings

The following settings become available on the Navigator panel when an external screen is connected:

Screen—choose whether the panel's other settings affect the iPad screen or the external screen.
Main View Mode—determines the document representation (Vector, Pixels, Retina Pixels, Outline, Wireframe or Hairline) displayed on the selected screen, or on the left when Split View Mode is active.
Split View Mode—set to None by default. Select Pixels, Retina Pixels, Vector, Outline, Wireframe or Hairline to split the selected screen horizontally and display the selected document representation on the right side.
Show Tool—determines whether user interface controls, such as handles, are shown on the external display.
Sync To Embedded—when editing an embedded document, this determines whether the external screen displays the parent document (disabled) or the embedded document (enabled).

To connect an external screen using AirPlay:

Connect your iPad to the same Wi-Fi network as your Apple TV or AirPlay 2-compatible TV.
Swipe down from the top-right corner of your iPad's screen to open Control Centre.
Tap Screen Mirroring.
Select an external screen from the list.
(Optional) If the external screen displays an AirPlay passcode, enter it on your iPad.

To control the external screen's document view:

Connect your iPad to your external screen using a cable, adaptor or AirPlay. Your Affinity app will automatically detect and output to the external screen.
In your Affinity app, open the Navigator panel.
Select External screen from the pop-up at the top of the panel.
Use the panel's other controls to control the rotation, zoom level and other attributes of the view on the external screen.

To finish using AirPlay:

Swipe down from the top-right corner of your iPad's screen to open Control Centre.
Tap Screen Mirroring.
Tap Stop Mirroring.
