2.1.1 Remote
The Remote mode serves two purposes. It allows you to quickly connect to
a Visual Productions device and control it directly. Secondly, in this mode,
Kiosc can connect to a Kiosc Editor and receive live updates as the user works
on the design. This way it provides a real-time preview on the actual target
device. Please note that due to Microsoft Store security measurements, it is not
possible to make a remote connection to Kiosc Editor if Kiosc and Kiosc Editor
are running on the same PC. To transfer a showfile, it can be manually copied
using the filebrowser. More information can be found in chapter 5.
Although quick to set up, a Remote connection to a CueCore2 or similar device
does not enable the user to make elaborate designs. The editing capabilities
inside the CueCore2 are basic. In order to create more demanding user-interface
designs it is recommended to use the File mode.

Kiosc can only be connected to a single external device when using Remote
mode. It is using a propriety protocol that is only supported by the Visual
Productions range of devices. This protocol is uni-directional and thus provides
no means for giving feedback to the Kiosc app. No OSC or UDP is used in this
mode.
The Remote mode makes Kiosc compatible with VisualTouch, the previous-
generation touch screen software from Visual Productions.
Figure 2.1 shows an example of Kiosc being connected to an IoCore2. By using
the Remote mode, a simple dashboard can be created in a few mouse clicks.
In this example Kiosc is used for setting DMX values, transmitting a RS-232
