Questions

Which iPads work?

An iPad with a USB-C port and iPadOS 17 or later. iPhone can’t connect a capture card, but it can watch an iPad’s Capture Card broadcast.

Which capture cards work?

UVC (USB Video Class) capture cards that iPadOS recognizes, the kind that work without a driver. A direct HDMI cable to the iPad is not enough.

Can I use it with a Nintendo Switch, PlayStation, or Xbox?

Yes. Anything with HDMI out can go through the capture card: consoles, cameras, and computers.

Do overlays show up in recordings?

No. False color, zebras, and peaking are for the iPad’s screen only. Recordings, broadcasts, and screenshots use the clean feed.
