Razor Mirror Booth: Software Setup

Updated Yesterday · 3 min readBeginner

The Razor Mirror Booth runs on FMX for iPad — Foto Master's photo booth software for iPadOS. This guide covers everything from installation to running your first test session.

Step 1: Install FMX for iPad

Turn-Key package and Bring Your Own (BYO): Install FMX from the App Store on your iPad:

  1. Open the App Store on your iPad
  2. Search for FMX by Foto Master or use this link: FMX on the App Store
  3. Tap Get to install

Note: FMX for iPad requires an active FMX for iPad license linked to your Foto Master Cloud account. See License Management Across Devices if you need to activate or move a license.

Step 2: Set Up Your Event in Foto Master Cloud

Before opening FMX, create and configure your event in Foto Master Cloud. FMX pulls everything — workflow, layout, assets, and sharing settings — from the cloud.

  1. Log in at cloud.fotomaster.com
  2. Go to Events → New Event and fill in the event name, date, and duration
  3. Assign a Preset to the event — a preset bundles the workflow and layout
  4. Configure sharing settings: email, SMS, online gallery, and any AI features
  5. Save the event

Tip: See Creating a Cloud Event for the full walkthrough.

Step 3: Log in to FMX on the iPad

  1. Open FMX on the iPad
  2. Tap Sign In and enter your Foto Master Cloud email and password
  3. Your FMX for iPad license activates automatically

Note: If you see a license error, verify your subscription is active at cloud.fotomaster.com → Account → Licenses.

Step 4: Select, Sync, and Play

FMX connects to your Cloud event in three steps:

Select — Tap Load Event (or Select, Sync, Play). Your list of Cloud events loads automatically. Select the event you configured.

Sync — Tap Sync. FMX downloads the full event package: workflow, layout, all assets, and sharing settings. Wait for the sync to complete before going live. The booth can run offline after syncing.

Play — Tap Play to enter Experience View. The booth is now live.

Tip: Always sync before going live, even if you synced earlier. See Select, Sync, Play for a full explanation of how syncing works.

Step 5: Configure Device Settings

Before going live, review the key settings in Global Settings (the gear icon):

Camera

Confirm FMX detects the iPad camera. Tap Preview to check framing and exposure for the Razor Mirror's slim profile — the camera should capture the guest standing in front of the mirror clearly.

Printing

If using a printer, select it from the list (FMPrint or AirPrint). Run a test print to confirm output quality.

Cloud

Confirm the Cloud connection shows as active.

Tip: See FMX for iPad — Full Documentation for all settings and features.

Step 6: Run a Test Session

  1. Tap Play to enter Experience View
  2. Go through the full workflow as a guest would — capture, selection screen, sharing
  3. Confirm the photo output (layout, overlays, branding) looks correct
  4. If printing is enabled, verify that the print comes out correctly
  5. Check that the photo appears in your event's online gallery in Foto Master Cloud
