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.

Best experience I’ve had with my capture card
Jul 26

JulioTheGreat
I know the latency has a lot to do with the capture card itself, but this app has been the best experience I’ve had with my own capture card. I have the hagibis pro 1080p 60fps that I got for my quest three to connect my laptop or my console, but the lag was just too bad. I then tried connecting my console to my laptop through OBS while I was traveling, and it was also super laggy(I don’t know if it was my settings). But when I try to hooking up my Xbox through this app it worked perfectly. The picture was clear there was little to no perceivable lag genuinely amazing, I could actually play my games as if they were on a regular monitor.

Updated…. I was able to follow the developer response to get what I want. I would still say that the colors are a bit off but, this is better and meeting my expectations. ************************************************************ Generally this application works will with the Shadow Cast. However…. Running this as an extra display or even a gaming monitor at a standard full HD resolution (or any standard resolution) on an iPad seems like a waste. I am not really asking for 4K (though this does that just at 30Hz and the screen looks terrible that way) but for a non-standard resolution that can fill the screen. The big letter box on the top and bottom don’t really seem needed. And, I would certainly think with a USB C 3.1/2 GEN 2 connection that you could push a 1 K level resolution that is taller…. Please…

Hello Rokair,Thanks for the review. Genki Studio app shows all resolutions reported by the capture device. Unfortunately all of the current capture devices are only capable of outputting in standard resolutions in 16:9 ratio causing letterbox experience on iPad’s “square” screens. One thing you can try is setting a custom output resolution of the resolution of your iPad in your PC graphics card settings, most capture cards will still accept the signal but output in the preset 16:9 resolutions. With Genki Studio, you can set to display in stretched mode that restores the ratio and achieve full screen iPad display without letterbox, although there maybe lost image clarity. If you have any more questions, feel free to send us a email at ipad@humanthings.co. Thank you.

Great App

Rated Review
I just got this app, and it is a game changer. It doesn’t actually use much power at all! I have full brightness, and from the hour I was playing, I only lost two percent—100 to 98! There are a few cons, however. The screen sometimes glitches out, and parts of the screen get unaligned. Also, the drawing feature is there, even when I’m playing, and I can’t figure out how to turn it off. All in all, this app is amazing. 10/10!

Game Changing App for iPadOS 17
09/24/2023

This app is a literal game changer with the new HDMI Input feature of iPadOS 17. Using a simple USB-C HDMI Capture adapter, you can use any iPad with USB-C connector as a monitor. Second monitor for your PC, Nintendo Switch, XBOX, PlayStation, anything with a HDMI out. A big feature that sets this app apart from several others I have tried is that this app passes the audio signal to the iPad so that you can hear through the iPad speakers. Oh, and the app is free! Great job, GENKI!
