Camranger Share Users - CamRanger User Manual

their personal device when Share Live View is enabled and the main applicaIon is
streaming live view..
• Show Clients: The CamRanger user can see what devices are using the CamRanger Share
applicaIon during the CamRanger session.
Assuming that all devices have a good connecIon with the CamRanger, as the number of users
increase, the performance decreases slightly; adding 1 second per shared device for each small
JPG that is distributed is a good rule of thumb. Similarly, sharing live view with an addiIonal 1 or
2 devices will not significantly degrade performance, but as more devices are added the frame
rate will reduce. AddiIonally, a device with a very poor/slow connecIon can degrade the
performance for everyone. The photographer using the CamRanger app can always temporarily
turn off sharing to kick off all shared devices. As the number of users increases the there are
pracIcal performance limits. Depending on the scenario, pracIcal maximums of 5-15 clients are
typical. The amount of data being shared as well as the network strength to all of the clients
dictates the pracIcal maximum.
If the CamRanger is only connected to the CamRanger network, the CamRanger Share app users
will also need to connect to the CamRanger network, using the same password, however no
registraIon is required. If the CamRanger is bridged to an exisIng Internet network, the Share
app user can connect to the same Internet network that the CamRanger is connected to, and
sIll use the Share app. Those using the share app should stay within range of the CamRanger or
bridged network when using the app
For more informaIon about the CamRanger Share ApplicaIon, refer to the CamRanger Share
App User Guide Video (Note: this video is demonstraIng the setup with an iPad, but the general
concept and use with the Windows computer is the same).
CamRanger Share Users
The CamRanger Share app is free and available for download for the
Windows on the CamRanger website, hKp://camranger.com/downloads/.
Once the photographer has started the CamRanger session, the
CamRanger Share user must connect to the CamRanger network from
within the Windows computer network sehngs. Once connected to the
network, the user can access the app and view the images that the
photographer choses to share. Those using the share app should consult the photographer
about the network connecIon and should stay within range of the CamRanger when using the
app.
