Translators always one slide behind
Each booth tries to follow the speaker manually. By slide 20 they are 2–3 slides off, the audience sees the wrong language version, and someone has to run between rooms.
KonduktoPILOT keeps presentations in 2, 3 or 5 languages perfectly aligned. The presenter clicks once — every translation laptop changes the slide at the same moment. Over LAN. Windows ↔ macOS. No internet.
Three classic failure modes every multilingual conference hits — and the AV team gets blamed every time.
Each booth tries to follow the speaker manually. By slide 20 they are 2–3 slides off, the audience sees the wrong language version, and someone has to run between rooms.
The presenter is on a MacBook, the booths run Windows, the agency brought their own laptops. No clicker software supports all of them at once — until now.
If a translation booth restarts mid-session, it lands back on slide 1 while the speaker is on slide 25. Manual recovery is slow, visible, and embarrassing.
Run KonduktoPILOT on the presenter laptop in Master mode and on every translation laptop in Slave mode. They find each other automatically.
Logitech R400 / R500 / Spotlight, DinoFire, Kensington, any USB or 2.4 GHz remote that emits Page Up / Page Down. KonduktoPILOT captures the keypress at the OS level.
Translation laptops launch KonduktoPILOT in Slave mode. mDNS auto-discovery finds the master in ~3 seconds. No IP addresses to type, no port forwarding, no IT ticket.
Presenter clicks NEXT. Master broadcasts to every Slave; each one emits a synthetic Page Down to its local PowerPoint, Keynote or Adobe Reader. 5–30 ms latency over WiFi.
Every detail from real conference setups — Defender exclusion, slide mapping, manual override, session logs, auto-reconnect.
Slaves find the master in seconds. Manual IP fallback for locked-down corporate networks where Bonjour is blocked.
Master on Windows, Slaves on macOS — or any other mix. Identical WebSocket protocol, native key emission per OS.
EN deck has 60 slides, DE deck has 45. Define mapping once — Master sends GOTO(target), every booth lands on the right slide.
WiFi drops? Slave retries 1s → 2s → 4s → 8s → 16s → 30s. When master comes back, the slave keeps its current slide instead of jumping to slide 1.
Windows Defender blocks the keyboard hook? Click 🛡 Check & fix Defender in Master — UAC prompt, exclusion added, hook recovers. No PowerShell required.
Every connect, slide change, pause, lock and recovery is logged with timestamps. Perfect postmortem after the conference. Excel-ready.
Polish, English, German, French, Spanish — switch live without restart. Light or dark theme.
Booth operator can pause auto-sync and click locally — useful for showing a detail off-flow. Re-sync button snaps back to master's slide instantly.
The app never talks to the cloud. Works in fully air-gapped networks. No analytics, no auto-updates calling home.
Master Dashboard for the presenter laptop. Slave Panel for each translation booth. Switch roles at any time from the header.
The WebSocket protocol is identical regardless of OS. A Logitech R500 plugged into a MacBook drives Windows booths just as well as the other way around.
