1.3 Follows Your Lead
kDynamo mini keeps you on the go with its smaller size and handheld ease-of-use. kDynamo Air
features a 100mm VESA (Video Electronics Standards Association) standard mounting pattern that
provides fixed mounting for greater security and convenience, allowing users to deploy kDynamo Air in a
variety of off the shelf semi-mobile or permanent mounts, and eliminating the need for expensive
customization.
Software on the connected iPad host controls kDynamo’s operation via control, status, and data functions
available through the Lightning interface. MagTek understands the value of easy-to-use, well-
documented APIs, Software Development Kits (SDKs), and sample code, which speed development and
integration and reduce time to market. MagTek SDKs have no royalties or maintenance fees and are free
to redistribute with your application. For even easier development, use MagTek’s MagneFlex browser or
middleware application.
