I just have to toss my hat in the ring for commandfusion. There are a few posts here about how not that the ipad has a native touchpanel symbol the Crestron solution may be less processor demanding, but it looks like the commandfusion solution will almost always have more "iPadness" to it. Swiping, scrolling, gestures, etc.
I am told that 5 iPads in a LARGE project concurrently connected to the system may be the limit of CommandFusion, but I am not really sure. Then of course there is always the new found speed and horsepower of the the MC3 that might help in accommodating more iPads.

Have you discovered the Anchoring option in VTPro?
Open the Properties tab and select an item on the page, you will see an
anchoring option in the properties tab that allows you to deal with the
rotation issues to some extent.
On a recent foray into it myself I found that setting a sub page: Left=No,
Top=No, Right=Yes, Bottom=Yes FixedWidth=Yes, FixedHeight=Yes
AND having a sub page 748px wide X 518px high set 400px from top and 10px
from left *just* about centers the sub page in portrait mode BUT it slides
it to the right edge of the page, to me preferable as they can use their
thumb to operate cursor controls close to the edge of the page.
I placed a main nav strip horizontally at the top of the page and a footer
at the bottom but there is still a big gap between top nav and the sub page
in portrait, however in landscape you wind up with a big gap to the left and
right of the sub page.
I hate it but what else can you do?
While it has its own set of shortcomings I still think CommandFusion slays
Crestrons answer to the iPad!
Seriously, no develop in landscape mode? No horizontal scrolling lists?
C'mon Crestron!
I could be dead wrong about this but, I'm not so sure about 30 iPads on a
single processor with CommandFusion.
Seeing as how the EISC limit is around 30 or so, having 30 S+ direct sockets
may prove fallible if too many are in use at one time, it would be a real
suckfest to run into this problem late in the project.
Anyway, HTH

Subject: [Crestron] Crestron Mobile Pro G - Designing in Landscape
I have a job here that has a vast amount of iPads (around 30) but the caveat
to it is a majority of them will be wall mounted. This means they need to be
designed in landscape format.
Now I've already long ago given up on designing a layout that can be both
portrait and landscape friendly opting for mostly portrait designs as they
are native to VTPro. The problem I am having is designing this particular
job solely in landscape format. I am locking the panels in landscape mode,
but I am running into issues in the design of not knowing how to scale my
images since we can't discretely build in landscape format in VTPro.
I've been wracking my brain today trying to figure out how to do this but
can't come up with any good solutions other than to just create a button,
load it, and see how it looks. I am using blueprints as well, but they just
don't turn out correctly since I can't run them at the desired ratios.
Does anyone have any tips/pointers for designs they have done in landscape
mode? Anything helps at this point.
