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.

I probably can’t use it if I purchase either. -- RakoonGamer, 2024-12-21 ### *---- "The app isn't working for me." The app isn't working for me. I bought the video capture card that you recommend, and it still doesn't work. -- Drummercuba, 2024-12-18 ### *---- "Heavy Input Lag 13inch iPadPRO" Title says it all, heavy input lag ranging from 10 seconds to 2 minutes between Legion Go and Steamdeck to my 2024 13inch iPadPRO. -- taeles, 2024-12-06 ### *---- "Doesn’t work, even with their recommended capture card." Honestly, just busted. You’re better off using Genki Studio, because on top of everything this app is supposed to do, you can also record and screen share as well - from the same card that Orion recommends, mind you! -- Seth Skyrippler, 2024-12-04 ### *---- "Do not buy" did not connect and work -- Him.6, 2024-11-25 ### ***** "Ask" Does the app work for iPad 9 considered the lightning slot . -- Nirfanaflaym, 2024-11-19 ### ***** "Great app, recommend highly" Saved me hours and lugging around a spare monitor. Highly recommend! -- paulsnn1, 2024-11-08 ### ***** "It just works!" In these days of empty promises it is just outstanding to find a product that delivers exactly what it says with no nonsense. Thank you for restoring my faith in app developers and for having a fantastic sense of humor. This crew takes their product seriously but not too seriously! I’m so excited…I’m so scared! 😂 -- BigMicEnt, 2024-10-20 ### *---- "Didn’t work on my iPad" Tried with different dongles but would not work. Installed different app works fine. -- Caliconsertive, 2024-10-10 ### *---- "Not satisfied" I have the right capture card that I bought from their website and it still doesn’t work -- mwiejeo, 2024-09-19 [View all HDMI Monitor reviews and detailed analytics on AppTail](https://app.apptail.io/signup?utm_campaign=ai-crawl&utm_content=reviews) ## HDMI Monitor In-App Purchases | Item | Price | |------|-------| | Orion One Time Purchase | $4.99 | ## HDMI Monitor Discovered Keywords -
