TVs and Computer Monitors are large, cumbersome devices. 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. ABOUT Orion is a Fun Project developed by the minds of Lux Entertainment and Optics Incorporated. Our collaboration team includes Anton Heestand, Jelmar Geertsma, Jonathan Hollander, Cabel Sasser, Louie Mantia and of course our families who so lovingly support our silly and loving work on apps. Also check out Halide, Spectre and Skylight — our other apps, and please leave us a review if you like our app. }

Tried this, recognised the connection but then a black screen. Bought a new HDMI capture card (the one recommended by Orion) and new cable but still black screen. Saw someone else’s review who couldn’t get Orion to work and tried HDMI app - I did the same and that works. Also Orion UI is ‘cool’ and ‘edgy’ but is slow, annoying and useless info, suggest focussing on making the product work as a starting point

It is not full screen, no setting for resolution or aspect ratio. Also the longer you use the apps in 1 session and it will become lag, will need to close and re-run the app again. Commenting from M3 iPad Air

Rarely ever connects. Go grab the Genki app instead.

The app has good quality when using a capture card, the setup was confusing me a bit but I just went to “Privacy and security” then “Camera” and enabled permission for Orion then it worked flawlessly with my switch 2, it also has minimal delay.

No matter what resolution I set my PC monitor to, there are black bars on top/bottom of Orion app. I Paid for the upscale and it still doesn’t let me go full screen with the video. Very disappointing. (iPad 10th gen 2022 with iOS26)

App will lag after a while in iPadOS 26. Instant lag whenever notification tray or action menu used. Please fix!

Just because Apple’s new icons are hideous doesn’t mean yours has to be. Bring back that beautiful CRT!

Welcome to Orion 1.1.0! In addition to updating things to match Liquid Glass, we've added a long requested feature: content zoom! If you're playing widescreen content but prefer that the middle content fill the screen, just tap the adjust button, and then the fill button. This is perfect when playing a retro game on a modern console that forces content to be wide screen, as it just crops an unnecessary border to make full use of your screen. If you run into any issues, feedback, or feature requests, please let us know at support@lux.camera.

Welcome to Orion 1.0.2! We want to thank you so much for your amazing response to our new app. If you love Orion so far, please give us a review or rating. It helps us a lot, and lets us continue working on this app. This update to your favorite HDMI monitor has a fix for audio issues. Previously, an issue could cause audio to stop working, especially with headphones or audio devices. This update also lays the groundwork for our future updates. We'd love to see your setup and hear your suggestions for upcoming features and special custom icons. You can find us at @halideapp on Instagram and Threads, @halidecamera on Twitter, and @halide on Mastodon. Thank you!
