Simple Display App vs VideoViewer Pro Usage & Stats
This app is a simple app to display externally input video supported from iPadOS 17.
It is easy to use! Just launch the app and connect a UVC-compatible device such as an HDMI capture or webcam to the iPad's USB-C port!
Until now, using an iPad as a mobile monitor with HDMI input support required an expensive dedicated input accessory, but now all you need is an iPad and a generic HDMI capture!
It has the minimum necessary features such as pinch-in magnification of video, SplitView and Stage Manager support.
Audio can also be played in the background.
Requires an iPad with a USB-C port and an update to iPad OS 17 or later.
This product cannot be used with iPads equipped with a Lightning port.
The HDMI port on USB-C hubs and other devices is for output only and cannot be used.
＊This app does not have a recording function at this time, but it is possible to use screenshots or screen recordings instead.
＊This app uses Google Firebase Analytics to monitor usage.
