Genki Studio turns your iPad into a portable monitor and advanced video capture and presentation device. Connect your Genki ShadowCast or any compatible USB UVC input device to start using your iPad as a portable monitor for your gaming console, PC, digital camera, small board computer, or microscope. Record the input at maximum quality and save the media file directly to your iPad or an external SSD to save storage space on your iPad. With external monitor support, your iPad can output full-screen content to another external display via AirPlay or USB-C to HDMI/DisplayPort adapters while continuing recording to your iPad, or use mirror mode and Apple Pencil markup for a quick presentation. Highlights of this app: · Connect your Genki ShadowCast or any compatible USB UVC input device to your iPad. · View the UVC input directly on your iPad. · Capture images or videos with audio with maximum quality, to your iPad storage or directly to an external storage device like a portable SSD. · Fully compatible with Stage Manager and Multitasking features of the iPad, enjoy music or play the video guide of your game while playing your game all on an iPad. · Grid and Ratio Overlay for easy monitoring of professional cameras. · Clean Video Output to display input on an external monitor with AirPlay or a wired connection, while continuing recording to your iPad at the same time. · Mark Up with Apple Pencil support lets you scribble on the screen. · Connecting to an external monitor and using Mark Up to enable Mirroring Mode, which turns your iPad into a portable notepad perfect for any live events. · Optimized for accessibility with VoiceOver support. * Connecting to UVC devices requires a compatible model of iPad. Using this app requires additional UVC accessories; this app supports Genki ShadowCast, and any other USB UVC input device including capture cards, professional cameras, microscopes, or webcams that conform with UVC standards. Appropriate USB-C adapters, docks, or hubs are required for some devices or configurations. Multitasking features require a compatible model of iPad. Using Clean Video Output with a wirelessly connected monitor requires AirPlay 2-enabled TVs, streaming boxes or sticks, or a compatible Mac with the latest macOS update installed; also, using a non-Genki ShadowCast capture product will have an added Genki logo watermark on the Clean Video Output Image. UVC input are supported on iPad with a USB-C port: · iPad Pro 11-inch and 13-inch (M4) · iPad Pro 12.9-inch (3rd generation and later) · iPad Pro 11-inch (1st generation and later) · iPad Air 11-inch and 13-inch (M2) · iPad Air (4th and 5th generation) · iPad mini (A17 Pro) · iPad mini (6th generation) · iPad (A16) · iPad (10th generation) USB-C ports on some iPad only supports maximum USB 3.0 SuperSpeed 5Gbps or USB 2.0 High-Speed, which may limit the formats you can use with your UVC devices.

This app use to be ok. It always had black bars on top and bottom. The Stretch feature would just distort the image and cut the corners off. Now on top of black bars on top and bottom, they’re on the sides as well. Using even less of the screen making the image even smaller. The stretch feature is as useless as ever.

Hello, thanks for leaving a review for Genki Studio. iPad screens have a unique, more square ratio, compared to all capture cards in the market, which only supports output in the regular 16:9 ratio. This makes the preview image displayed with a letter-boxing effect. Genki Studio supports both Stretch to Zoom and Crop to Zoom features; they allow you to use pinch and stretch gestures on the preview screen to stretch or crop the preview image to let it fill the iPad screen. The issue you are describing, of preview images having a letterbox, pillarbox, and even windowbox effect, is something out of our app’s control. As Genki Studio is trying to display the whole input image from your capture card on iPad's unique ratio screen, this will cause a letterbox effect unless you use the stretch or crop to zoom feature that distorts the original 16:9 ratio images. The pillarbox issue you are describing is something caused by your capture device and the images you are capturing, which is limiting a more square ratio image to output in a regular 16:9 ratio output resolution, and then the capture card's output in a 16:9 ratio image and displayed by the Genki Studio app correctly in a more square ratio iPad display, causing the windowbox effect. We suggest you look into the settings of your capture card and devices you are connecting to, updating output resolution settings; if you are using a computer, you may be able to create a custom resolution that is in the same ratio as your iPad screen, which will be captured by your capture card and output in a regular 16:9 ratio image, and the Genki Studio app is able to use the stretch to zoom feature to unstretch to its original ratio of iPad screen ratio. If you have more questions or need more support on this issue, please feel free to send us an email at ipad@humanthings.co. Thank you.
