If you're on the go and want to play your Nintendo Switch on a larger display than the tiny 6-inch to 7-inch screen that is built into the console, you're in luck if you have a USB-C iPad. With an app and a couple of accessories, you can use your ‌iPad‌ as your Switch display or even with your PS5 & Xbox too.

Have been using this with my Macbook using OBS and I knew I could do this with iPad too but it was really missing a software. Glad we finally have an app for it. Will test this out as I already have HDMI dongle

I’ve used this for setting up a Raspberry Pi, and for manual focus on a DSLR.

What kind of capture card brand are you using if you don't mind sharing. I'm actually looking high quality capture card to connect Raspberry Pi too.

@johnbermudez9932 10 ай бұрын

Just a quick note, you have to use the power adapter that came with the console or you’ll get an error message saying “use AC power adapter that came with console” only sharing cause it happened with me when I was trying to connect my switch. Other than that everything else in this video is legit and helpful

@BooleanDev 9 ай бұрын

yeah switch only supports docked mode with external power

@DavidParke84 11 ай бұрын

Seems rad. would love to use this to have my ipad as an external edit display. Given the workflow, seems like it should work!

This is great. I am sure someone like small rig will come out with an iPad case that has a capture card built in and then use this as a camera monitor. Just like the seemo thing

Hi there! I really appreciate this. However, my iPad has a lightning port. I want to connect my switch so I’m using an adapter that fits, but how do I get the app? I can't seem to find it and when I try to get the beta app it asks me for a code? I don't know what's going on so if you know I'm really curious why this is happening. Again, thank you for this video, you earned a new subscriber!

I've been looking for a way to play horror games without having my wife and my 4 year old appearing all of the sudden on the living room just in time for the worst scenes lol. The thing is I play mostly on ps5, perhaps I could get a wireless hdmi to hdmi and then run that through the capture device into the ipad, but that sounds like a lot of input lag for bloodborne or RE8.

Tried using this set up with the same dongle from amazon and a usb-c to hdmi cable as well with my switch and just getting color lines as output on my iPad. Any advice? I am on IPadOS 17 and using the new app from the developer

This dongle does that when the signal comes on or goes off. If you simply unplug the hdmi cable and plug it back into the dongle it’s fixed. (At least my unit which has the same issue)
