HDMI Monitor - Orion - Reviews, Revenue and Downloads - Apple App Store

Description

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?

Say “Hello” to the Orion Video System, a software application from Lux Entertainment and Optics Inc. With a simple USB-C Capture Card, or “dongle” and the free Orion Video System application, getting a big screen is never a big hassle*.

*Requires iOS 17, an iPad with USB-C, and a USB-C Video Capture Card.

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.

Démo

Une démo pas démo, bizarre. Ont peu rajouté des effets de veille écran sur un film de mauvaise qualité. Quel idée de marketing de mauvais goût.

Screen tearing while gaming

Tried both a laptop with Steam and a Nintendo Switch. Minor input lag was acceptable most of the time, but there was tons of horizontal screen tearing using one of their verified capture cards and it was very distracting. The more activity / action on the screen Tried more than one HDMI cable, multiple sources, two different iPads. Reached out to technical support but they did not respond. Should not be advertised for gaming use cases.

Cool concept

Nice concept and works for the most part but tons of input lag on games.

Just Amazing!

This app is simply too good, 100% recommended.

Amazing

Using this with a USB 3.0 4K capable USB-C capture card and playing PS5 with 4K output, (M2 iPad Pro 11”)

Forget it!

Forget it! Hooked up my M1 MacBook Pro and all I get is an image of my computer’s background. Nothing else! Useless. Used a Video Capture card.

Not sure why the low review score?

The app works well and does exactly what it says. One time purchase for pro features is also appreciated!

Great app!

Use this to turn my iPad into a monitor for my Steam Deck, the CRT options are fun for playing my older ROMS. Attention to detail is wonderful, unboxing at first launch is a fun experience. Would love to see PiP added in the future as well as more options for scaling and adjustments :) Thanks for the hard work!

Misleading

Sprung to use this app because of the reputation of Halide. Unfortunately, disappointed. All the marketing photos make it appear as if the full screen of the iPad will be used. That is not the case. There is no resolution option to make use of the full real estate of the iPad Pro screen.

Not working

Tried to connect iPad Pro M1 to MacBook Pro by original hdmi apple connector and also to PS4, same result - not working. App shows icon that not connected. iPad is updated to iOS 17
