External Display System
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.

No ability to resize window?

I regret paying for this. Image looks sharp, but there are way more gimmick / novelty features than actual features. Being unable to resize the window on iPad, which are all near 4:3, while the input devices this support are all 16:9, is insane. It makes the app unviable for retro games, which is what it would be best at. I recommend you get Genki Studio instead. Waaaaaay better, does everything this app does and more.

Great app!

Does what its meant to do great. There’s nothing else out there like it. Only recommendation would be for native video recording. Using the iPad’s built in screen recording works, but it would be easier to have a button within the app

poor refresh rate. I wish I could get a refund

Its a waste of money. Very bad refresh rate. I want to get a refund

Needs work

I paid for the IAP to support development, because I truly *want* this app to be better. But for now, Genki Studio is the better option to avoid input lag and screen tearing. I'll check back in as updates are released and update my review accordingly. Don't let us down, Lux devs!

pinch to zoom

overall satisfactory. I wish they could have pinch to zoom feature. Ipad has a aspect ratio of 4:3, but inputs are always 16:9, which makes the image too small. If you could have a pinch to zoom feature, this would be awesome.
