Touch Devices
You can use xStudio on touch devices, like tablets and mobile phones. When using xStudio on such touch devices, a light version of the app with limited scope of functions compared to the complete version for standard keyboard-mouse-interaction is opened.
Tablets
Recommendation:
Use the latest version of iPad or iPad Pro to achieve the most
comprehensive range of functions possible on tablet devices. A full support of all options
cannot be guaranteed.
When using a tablet, you have the following xStudio functions available. The order in the list indicates the rough workflow through the application.
