Hello, 

On Ipad Pro 2018, is it possible to use extended desktop with a an external monitor on USB C.
If not, is it on your plan for next release ?

Thanks

Frédéric

    @Tiago « Cool, happy to help :)

    And don’t forget; with iOS 13 comes global mouse support for “any” pointing device (enabled as an “assistive device”)!

    Ah, yes you mentioned the iPad consideration. I’m pretty sure Apple will let you return the iPad, too, if you change your mind. At least in DK and the US...

    I have a Wintendo laptop from work sitting on a shelf next to the router, acting as the Jump RDP server - haven’t brought it out of the appartment since they gave it to me :D

    Sorry, I don’t know about data consumption as I’m too cheap to pay the monthly fee for an extra eSIM for the iPad so using the iPhone as a hot spot :oP

    @Tiago « Oh, also, you might try out Jump on iPhone with the Lightning to HDMI adapter or just an AppleTV - works quite well with mouse and keyboard as an RDP terminal, too ;)

    @Rune you can't see the data usage inside iPhone? My use case will be using Jump Desktop with mobile data (using phone hotspot too), but my monthly maximum is 5gb mobile data, for the 20% of the time I will use it might be enough :)

    Yes iOS 13 or iPad OS is also another reason I'm considering this, iPad is becoming a real laptop replacement, with USB-C ports and mouse accessibility even more, + RDP to my desktop = best combo :D

    The iOS app need a update to support external display in 4K and screens with 21:9 ratio.

    For the rest, its a nice app. Thanks.

    @Tiago « Just got a random chance to test data consumption. It’s pretty huge - though I am running full res on the 12.9” - at 500 MB in a two hour meeting where I didn’t use RDP intensively.

    @Rune Mariboe how do you manage to have full resolution with your 12.9 inch iPad ? I am trying to remotely connect to mac MacBook Pro Retina 15 inch and it just don’t want to display at full resolution. Everything is blurry and barely usable.

     

    Thanks.

    @Pierre-Luc « I’ve only connected to Windows using RDP - that works flawless every time 🤷🏽‍♂️:)

    I have a 4K Monitor plugged in using an Anker hub to my iPad Air.  My only complaint about this otherwise superb implementation is that the video output is limited to 1440p, even though the Anker 8-in-1 hub supports 4K @ 60 Hz.  Is this because the display is being mirrored and is thus limited to iPad resolutions?  Is there any possibility of ever getting native 4K Remote Desktop on an external monitor?  Or is this an Apple limitation?

    Is there any activity on this? This would have been a killer feature. Has anyone made it work for them apart from the left-most split screen setup?

    The split screen thing is an iOS limitation; it appears only active apps can cast to external screens, and I doubt inactive apps will ever be able to receive input anyway...

     

    With regards to > 1440p support, it does not seem like there's a fix coming - the closest to a mentioning is this in the iOS update log, mentioning 8000+ pixels wide screens:

    • 9.2.6

      This release adds support for using the mouse scroll wheel when using a generic external mouse with Jump. We've also redesigned the top toolbar button with a more compact pill shape. Finally, we've fixed a bunch of bugs.

      Notable fixes in this release:

      * Turn off Smart Touch Gestures by default. If you want to re-enable it open up Settings -> Mouse & Gestures -> Smart Touch Gestures.

      * Can not show the toolbar on iPadOS when in split view mode

      * Make sure audio mixes with the system audio

      * Remote resolution is not correctly set when reconnecting to connections

      * Reconnecting to automatic connections may take a long time when the app is brought to the foreground

      * Crash when showing extremely big displays (8000+ pixel width) on older devices

    Randy « Definitely not an Apple limitation since other apps can cast 4k content. Don't know why Jump doesn't work correctly with our devices and apparently, the devs don't either (last I spoke with them several years ago they didn't appear to have a 4k device for testing anyway:)...
