Thanks for the awesome video! We just released Orion 1.0.2 with some fixes for an audio issue or two. Hope you enjoy! :)
Hey, you're welcome! Great job on the visual design for the app - looks fantastic! Keep the updates coming :)
It’s a great app. Would be awesome if you could add a recording feature.
Looks great. Thinking it would be perfect excuse to get my retro mini consoles out again. Can Orion do 4:3 ratio? Seems stretched on the SNES footage here.
I’ve been looking for an app like Orion but for the new iPhone 15 pro with usb c. Do you have any plans on bringing it to the new iPhone?
@@eeedawg1019 as far as I’m aware the iPhone 15 doesn’t support video input even on iOS17. It’s only available on iPadOS17.
I've been searching for somthing like this for years on youtube and gaming webs and all that staf and never find nothing. Really thank you man
Oh thank gosh. I've wanted to do this for a minute, though not for gaming. Just wanna plug my iPad Pro in as a reference display because it's nicer than my IPS panels.
This is definitely one of those “IYKYK” features that will be hidden away for most iPad users. I love this though. Thanks for sharing your results with us! Swapping HDMI cables is definitely good troubleshooting.
You're welcome!
Glad to see this feature finally into the IPad. It’s such a game changer
100%
Why wasn’t it working with older iOS versions?
Game changer is not the term I'd use since android has had this for close to a decade. I'd say it's about time iOS is starting to open it's doors
its a game changer into the apple ecosystem. why android guys always have to come with the same argument? @@lucho3410
I got Orion working with an HD60s and wow, it is perfect. Surprisingly low latency, no screen tearing, perfect HDR support on PS5 Honestly super impressed
Can you link the Orion device that you used and did it work natively
Give me link please
Okay I’m really excited to try this now! Thanks!
Immediately going to be using this for a viewfinder! Or at least try it! Nice job mate!
Cheers! And yep, it's going to replace my camera monitor for sure
No way! I’ve been wanting to do this for years! But now I have an OLED switch and have to decide between the larger screen of the iPad or better color and contrast of the switch.
This is a really slick feature that I didn't know about until your video, so thanks. I'm going to install the app on my iPad 10 and play around with it.
Defo worth it!
How was your experience? I also have an iPad 10 that I want to use as a second monitor for a Windows 10 laptop
How was your experience with it??
@@sreyashpaikray2642 TBH, I never got around to installing it. I got sidetracked by other stuff and forgot about it.
Just tried with an elgato cam link 4k. No screen tearing or lag. Actually pretty cool!
Edit: I’m using a generic usb c adapter to connect on an iPad Pro M1.
thats probably because the input processing is being made by the capture card and not by the ipad. the ipad is just getting the information already processed. but i think its amazing that an ipad is actually supporting input signals when almost every other device out there is just supporting output signals.
@@ReiHerrera that’s fair. I wanna say that it’s using UVC for the video stream, so in theory a faster processing unit in the adapter would cause less lag overall
@@lilman227 did u try competitive fps like csgo or valorant? Is it viable to use iPad as a monitor with cam link
@@WoodWax no, but I’ll give it a shot today
@@lilman227 thanks man plz let me know if it works
Ok i love my ipad mini even more now! Ill probably get a mac mini for this. But would love to see the ipad mini with faster refresh rate and brighter screen. But this also makes me wonder what android have to compete with this.
What a great app, thanks for the review.
If you reduce the external resolution, the input lag should be less. I do the same thing with my galaxy tab and the app "USB Camera"
I didn’t watch the whole video but liked and am commenting to help Al Gore’s rhythm! 🥁 thanks for heads up, this is a game changer!!
I’ve been trying to do this for years!!!! This is great!
It's so sick
This is class. Tempted to try it with my Steam Deck.
I saw this video and immediately saw a use case for using iPad as an external monitor for things like connecting to mini PC's / raspberry pi's where input lag isn't really a big deal. If it can play games with minor input lag, it'll be a great fit for this!
That exactly what went through my head was, hooking up a raspberry pie also a lot of other people state there better apps and better devices that remove the lag and latency
Did it work as a external monitor for you guys?
Definitely going to use this!, would you ind letting me know what switch dock you use?
I have two portable monitors already. And im also able to send video to my portable dvd player and even my car stereo because it also plays dvds. Ima give this a go🎉🎉🎉
Glad to see more capability coming to ipad
Interesting about HDMI cable changing lag… I very occasionally do some visuals for gigs, and I’ve used a setup where I feed output from an iPad into another machine, but the lag is problematic.
Try a more expensive gold plated hdmi cable for better latency and data transfer. Should help your lag issues mate.
Oh nice, never thought about using the ipad as monitor for the camera.
I've been waiting on this for like 5 years now.
Very nice, I am going to get Orion and use my Xbox Series X to my iPad mini 6. Thanks so very much for the great content.
The screen tearing is likely a symptom of the capture device rather than the app. Going with a higher end USB capture card from AverMedia or Elgato and using a USB A adapter would probably fix the tearing issue and maybe improve latency if you're someone who would use this setup enough to make that worth it.
I’m using whatever capture device Walmart sells for around $20 and I get tearing. I thought it was the app because it goes away if I restart it. Lag varies depending on what game I’m playing. I use my iPad Air as a display for my Nintendo switch.
@@DNMEBOY same thing will happen with me in OBS on my pc with cheap capture cards, not an issue on the better ones tho
@@solidstate000 What would be a really good capture card on amazon to get? to minimize input lag on ipad
@@luke25 probably the avermedia live gamer mini, runs about $70 right now
still an awful idea, remote play is literally free…why??? If you say ‘offline play’ - OK…..are you out in a forest playing your PS5 with a gas powered generator? What’s the use case for this?
Bro thankyou for this useful video
Great idea and videos. Thanks
This saved me a lot of money because I already own an iPad mini six. This will be fine but I’m planning on streaming on Twitch in future soon. Play a bit of PS2 and this saved me a lot of money because I thought I had to get like a fool on streaming, PC and everything.
Amazing video💯......informative
Do you think that they would ever make this a full feature for the iPad? Cause that would be awesome and make me want to buy one!
Oh unexpected but cool vid! Works with an USB-A capture card (I tried the ELGATO CamLink) and a normal dongle as well :)
good to know!
This is cool to watch. About 15 years ago, I tried to run old consoles through my mac. The only option was a $400 "tv capture card" made by Elgato, and I believe it only allowed for cable tv (not gaming). Obviously, so much has changed, but a $20 solution is amazing 😂
Do you think a higher end hdmi adapter could improve or possibly remove lag completely?
Really interesting. Was looking into the hdmi area for my iPad. Might give it a go now for sure
Thank you definitely going to be doing this with my switch oled
the switch screen is big enough tho ipad only makes it 2x bigger
I've been wanting to do this for such a long time now! So awesome this works.
Oh boy I just noticed the super terrible screen tearing it has. That is unpleasant to say the least!
Thanks for the video, want to ask about the ipad battery, how long is the battery life ? And is there any capture card that can charge the ipad at the same time?
Pretty sure the lag is down to the combination of the cable and the capture card. A good 8K capable HDMI cable and probably a better - and more expensive probably - capture card would work better. Awesome video, subbed!
Can you use your Macbook pro screen as well with consoles ? In my case specifically a M2 pro
Have tried this and it works with absolute zero latency on my ipad 10th gen with xbox series s
Hi i hope you are doing well . I wana buy a new ipad could you please explain more about your capture card or what Equipment you are using
It would be better if you please send me a video of your latency ❤ thanks
Do you know a way in which to use an iPad as a monitor viewfinder when using the camera on the iPhone??
I might need to give this a test. I don’t necessarily want to game with this, but I sometimes need a quick screen setup for one of my home servers, and I do already have an Elgato HD60S that I could try it with.
I do also wonder if a higher quality capture device would help its input lag. Realistically though, capture cards will always add *some* lag into the device to screen pipeline.
Damn lightning cable
Nice video sir. How about connection to ROG Ally? Just curious about that setup. Thanks for the reply sir
This looks so fun. Might start packing my console for hotel visits haha.
Yes!
If you use this as a camera monitor, can you live steam the content via the iPad or is there limitations there?
Is HDMI to USB-C works for your PS5 + Apple Studio Display? (and does sound work?) Thanks :)
I've tried this, and the screen tearing + input lag make it a terrible solution for gaming. this is a novelty at best.
you need a better capture card and app. the app he recommended is an awful choice although the ui is pretty ive compared with others and its by far the worst
@@RPGkanonwhat do you recommend?
Hopefully he replies… lmao
@@RPGkanonwhat’s the recommendation for all the best equipment needed with names
@@RPGkanon bro u cant just say this and not give an app recommendation lmao
Ive been using duet, and recently they added 120hz mode for the ipad pros. Lag is pretty bad, but a bit better recently. Im just wondering how this is compared to duet.
FINALLY!!!!!!!!
The requirement of a capture card means this is a bit more expensive…. But for sure apple has to work on a full on integrated version where you don’t need a capture card.
Just one cable, or an HDMI dongle so you can keep the iPad charged so it doesn’t die in the middle of gaming. I’d see this working well on the go with anything, especially a Nintendo switch in the car with a 100 watt hour battery that can support both devices, or just the switch in docked mode. Cuz Xbox’ and the PS5 would be pretty power hungry.
Maybe a more expensive better quality capture card would have less lag and tearing?
How does the Steam Deck perform on this setup?
The latency might also be due to the capture card interacting with the App on the iPad having issues.
It’s unlike regular displays just showing the signal perfectly. But most of the times it’s due to the cable.
Hello is the macbook air 15 inch m3 in 16gb unified memory, and 512gb ssd suitable to use as a monitor for nintendo switch? Will it have lag?
can you do this on usb c macs? that would be so good to reuse the displays
What iPad min mounting system did you use for your Sony camera? Thanks
I’ve got this same setup going too. The screen tearing is really a problem, definitely waiting to see if it can be updated before I make it a permanent solution, or if I should just bite the bullet and buy a monitor 😂
I think it's due to the capture card more than anything else!
@@ByteReviewyeah who could have thought the $20 capture card would work flawlessly 😅
Amazingggg
Excellent vid as usual but this deserves a better capture card, try the Elgato HD60X. Would be interesting to see if you get HDR, less tearing and lower lag....?
Going to grab one and make an updated video when the app is a bit more stable for sure!
this only works with capture devices that work without a driver, so like a webcam (using USB-VC)
Good morning, can you used a tuner box so I can watch tv broadcast?
Is Orion still available on the iPad?
Can we use it on iPad 6th gen with a lightning connector by using lightning to usb c ?
i became obsessed with this when the beta for 17 was out. some tips,
your capture card isn’t good. i bought that exact same one for the exact same reason probably reading the same sources to get this all running lol. but you need a more expensive one. 100-150$ capture card is for beast level but settling for around 70$ price range or the cheaper one your using is okay too.
its just a whole lot less lag
also, major tip here.
three finger double tap on the screen zooms to fill. this works great with cyberpunk or gta with a ps5.
three finger tap hold an drag to zoom, then if you have a mouse or magic keyboard you can use the cursor to align it filling the screen
Which capture card would you recommend?
As cool of thing as this is you wouldn't be able to hook this setup to a player or PS5 for the ability to watch movies (at least in the US). There is a specific setting that is enable that stops the DVD players from playing while plugged into a capture card.
I just got the recommended capture card from Orion, and the input lag was the first thing I noticed as well. Was a little disappointed to see that. But using the iPad as a framing monitor looks very enticing.
I think the HDX from elgato is supposed to be waaay better, also try a high speed HDMI if you have one
what's even the point to connect it with cable if there's still some input lag? Better off with Moonlight game stream which is at least wireless if not any better in terms of latency.
i have the j5create JVA06, the lag is minimal to non, playing switch
@@turismoride6617it’s perfect for traveling for work when the network is poor or while camping and it is raining. Lag isn’t too bad and you can always play XCOM or Rabbids or a turn based game.
@@ByteReviewdo you have a video on different hdmi grades?
Hey would you please make a video on the games with haptic support on ipad with controller
Would a better quality capture card like the Genki Shadowcast reduce the lag?
I have an iPad 9th gen, which does not support any app I found on the Appstore for this purpose. Any solution ?
How’s the delay compared to remote play?
Could we not use a Lightning to usb c adapter and it work on an older iPad ?
Dude thanks alot, i travel with steam deck (windows dual boot for non gaming part so lag won't be an issue) and IPad pro, i was seaching for portable monitor and this would save me money and weight. why Apple didn't advertise this
Can something like this be done when plugging into a MacBook Air?
This is awesome, but it should be a native feature from Apple at this point. Plus Apple could make a killing selling adapters.
that was a very helpful Video. thanks a lot! may I make a similar Video for my Greek and German Chanel about how to connect your iPad as an external monitor for a pc? Of course I will mention your Chanel and video
What is that stand that you are using??
Hi do you have how to emulate these consoles? i only have an ipad and a PC. i want to play zelda and spiderman on ipad thank you
About fucking time. Damn. Now we need this solution for Macbooks and other laptops.
Does it support 1440p at 120 Hz on PS5 & XSX?
Is this only for iPad Pro uses?
I noticed the Switch in general has more input lag even on a regular TV than other consoles, so your issues through the conversion device didn't seem all that surprising.
what ipad was used for the video?
Is the preview resolution on the ipad higher than the resolution displayed on the camera's LCD?
I may need it if it can help me manually focus to shoot my subjects better
depends on what your camera can output and what resolutions the capture device supports
I was shocked seeing this. Like oh my god
Is it work for all type of iPad with usb-c ?
Do this applies to a MacBook Pro (newer model) ?
Hello, what hdmi cable requirement do you recommend for avoiding the lagging? Also the type c hub so I can charging my ipad air 4 while connecting to Nintendo Switch? Thanks in advance.
Want to know it too
@@dedey0637 nice to know I’m not the only one 😁
Can we use lightning to usb c dongle for iPads with lightning cable
input lag could be the type of capture card ur using. or even the hdmi cable.
Will the apple pencil work on this so we can paint in photoshop?
I have iPad Pro 4 generation but does not work ): is it compatible with it? I tried with many apps but no one works):
Is there a benefit to getting a topped out 4k capturecard on pcie x4 slot, for near o input lag?
Question for you: I noticed you’ve been testing this for consoles, but will it work with a PC as well? I’m not sure if it’s technically any different but I figured I should ask before I spend money on it.
Watch the video mate, the second half he talks about the use case for computers!
Can you use a normal Adapter as well?
But does sound come through because i kinda want to hook up a dvd player to it
Wow thank you soo soo much for this great videoa nd help!
I was traveling to Asia and I needed a portable monitor for my mac mini and i was using Duet but they got expensive and now all they want is subscriptions i hate it. I miss this awesome type of apps that really help people just like me that are out there seeking real help from awesome developers! Thank you so much for this great video and shoutout to orion for making this happen! I can’t wait to tell this to my friends and family members 😇😇😇😇👏👏👏👏👏👏
Duet works if u pay 1 time through the app tho... for the most basic option its like $8. Which option did you need?
@@jeffery8168apparently they changed that now its all about subscriptions see it for yourself
I tried it with sky stream but the the sound is all messed up. Not sure if it's my capture device or just the app.
Have you tried closing the app rather than deleting it? Also, lag isn't a problem on sidecar so that would be preferable to this solution when using it with a Mac although I guess it's not possible to get sidecar working with a Mac mini alone.
Yes, I did try closing it
will it work as a secondary monitor?
iPad Pro 2nd generation will work?
Would something like this work on a Samsung Galaxy A8?
