Alternative connection of an iOS device to Capture One

When you want to view images on your iOS device but don’t have access to the Wi-Fi network that the Mac running Capture One Pro uses to serve the images from, you can use the internet sharing instead. This could be useful, for example, if you are a client visiting a studio and do not have the SSID or Password of the Wi-Fi network there. Some preconditions to this alternative connection must first be met, however. The Mac serving the images from Capture One Pro must access the Wi-Fi network using ethernet and must also have built-in Wi-Fi for it to share a connection with the iOS device (or a computer or a smart device using the web-browser function).

1. On your Mac, go to Systems Preferences -> Sharing and highlight the Internet Sharing option but do not enable it with a check-mark yet.
   
   
   
   
2. Go to Share your connection from and select Ethernet from the drop-down menu.
   
   
3. In the To computers using panel, enable Wi-Fi with a checkmark. 
   
   
4. When you want to secure the network, click on the Wi-Fi Options button (below the panel). A Configure an internet-sharing network dialog opens.
   
   
5. From Security, select WPA2 Personal and add a password, verify and select OK or Cancel to dismiss the dialog and start over. 
   
   
6. Now enable the Internet Sharing option from Step 1 and press Start.
   
   
7. On your iOS device, click on the Settings icon and select Wi-Fi.
   
   
8. Choose the applicable Network (SSID) and type in the Password from Step 4, if it was set.
   
   
9. Open the Capture Pilot app on your iOS device and wait for the Local Servers list loaded.
   
   
10. From the Local Servers list, click on the Server Name to connect to the session served by Capture One Pro.
