Turn Your iPad Into a Portable HDMI Monitor
HDMI Monitor - Orion
Orion helps turn any iPad with a USB-C input into a portable monitor for cameras, game consoles, and much more. Along with the iPad and app, you will also need a USB-C capture card. While the app is free, a one-time in-app purchase will unlock additional features like the ability to adjust video brightness, upscale HD video to 4K, and more.
What is it about?
TVs and Computer Monitors are large, cumbersome devices. Wouldn’t it be a treat if you could use the portable screen you already have with you as an HDMI monitor for cameras, game consoles, computers or other devices?

WHAT TO USE ORION FOR
Orion is perfect for turning your iPad into a portable display for your camera, so you can check your framing, focus, color and more when taking video or stills. Or connect Orion to a game console for gaming on the go or when needing a quick, fantastic monitor and set of speakers. You can also hook Orion up to a Mac, PC or other HDMI capable devices to get an extra screen to output video to.
FEATURES
Orion is jam packed with amazing features. From the simple things like sharing a quick screenshot of your video feed to a quick, convenient set of controls and intuitive user manual, Orion makes your iPad an excellent external HDMI monitor. With Orion Pro — a one time upgrade — you can also adjust the video brightness (from regular brightness to darker than the system brightness), upscale HD video or games with our AI powered 4K upscaler, or enjoy a retro movie or game with the 3-way retro CRT Emulation system.
In addition to this, Orion collects and shares ZERO data. Free is truly free: no ads, no tracking, no nonsense.
Other great features include full audio passthrough for playing HDMI device connected audio directly to AirPods or other connected devices; sharing full videos from your device with iPadOS Screen Recording, and more.
