Once the Remote Truck and Production Truck session is connected and assigned, the replay server and cameras will need to be enabled to feed to the Remote Truck app.

  1. Navigate to the Replay tab of the Settings/Preferences menu in Production Truck. Then enable 'Replay Server/ISO Record'. This will start the replay server allowing designated cameras to populate to the app.

  3. Verify the camera angles are populating within the Remote Truck app. In the app navigate to the menu and below Production Truck select, Official Replay. If this option does not appear instantly, navigate back to the iPad's home screen and back into the app.

  4. If the camera views are not showing please use the 'Refresh' button on the app to trigger camera angles to populate again.
