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.

Not good enough
The app works good, but there’s a bit of lag which makes it almost unusable for gaming. For uses where some lag is okay it may work just fine, but I’m not sure those uses really could benefit that much of using an iPad as external display. Good thing is that the app is free, so give it a try, but for me it wasn’t good enough.
No 4:3 screen ratio, worthless with Ipad.
They need to solve it quickly, it wastes the available space in the Ipad.
Outstanding
Great app. Genius at work thinking and creating incredible apps
