How I wish Apple would work to make this better than the current state. Currently it's very ugly (bad scaling, weird res, weird bars around screen), high latency, needs some configuration...
Just let me plug in a cable and it should immediately become a display. (with video over DP?)
- hot_gril 2y agoI legitimately don't remember if iPads have USB-C or Lightning or both at this point, but theoretically either should've worked for wired video
- walterbell 2y agoCheap HDMI to USB-c adapter was relatively painless with Orion app for video display on iPad Air/Pro.
- tempaccount420 2y agoThe cheap ones have high latency and only 1080p, no?
- walterbell 2y agoIt was adequate for CLI/terminal/console usage, i.e. there was no issue between iPad and the capture card, any limitations were intrinsic to the card itself and would be the same on a PC laptop with Windows/Linux. Non-Pro iPads are limited to USB2 speeds. Capturing 4K content for display on iPad would need a Pro device with USB3/Thunderbolt USB-c input.
- hot_gril 2y agoMaybe it's my eyes, but I really like having a high res display for terminal or anything else where I'm reading a lot of text. It can be low framerate or high input delay, though. 1080p on a small screen isn't bad, though.
