Transform your device into a versatile portable display with the High-Quality USB Camera Viewer & HDMI Display solution. Whether you're looking to connect a camera, gaming console, laptop, PC, or any other device with HDMI output, you'll need an HDMI to USB C dongle, also known as a UVC capture device or Video Capture Card. Note that this is not the same as a USB C hub or a USB C to HDMI cable. Additionally, cameras, endoscopes, and microscopes equipped with USB streaming capabilities are fully supported.
Noir, our cutting-edge software, supports UVC video streaming and UAC audio streaming, providing you with options between OpenGL ES and Vulkan for enhanced graphics performance. The free version of Noir offers essential functions and an immersive experience, although it includes ads (which do not appear in the preview). For those seeking more advanced features and to support the continuous development and maintenance of Noir, the pro version is available for purchase.

FAQ
Why doesn't Noir recognize my device?
Possible reasons include your phone or tablet not supporting USB Host (OTG) or the connected device not being a Video Capture Card. Additionally, insufficient power supply might require the use of a USB hub.Why is the preview so laggy?
Laggy previews are often linked to the USB version. Ensure your USB 3.0 capture card is connected with a USB 3.0 cable and port. For USB 2.0 cards, use the MJPEG format and stay within the 1080p30fps limit (some support up to 1080p50fps).Why did my capture card, which was working fine, suddenly fail to connect?
System issues are usually the culprit. A simple restart of your device can often resolve this.Why does my gaming console or Video playback device show a black screen when connected?
This issue frequently occurs with PS5 and PS4 due to HDCP being enabled. Disable HDCP in your console settings. Note that PS3 does not support HDCP disabling. Other devices might also automatically enable HDCP during video playback, leading to a black screen. Some HDMI splitters can bypass HDCP, but this solution is not recommended here.Why are resolutions other than 16:9 and 4:3 not supported?
Current capture cards generally do not support ratios other than these. Use Noir's built-in Stretch feature to adjust the ratio, ensuring your capture card's EDID supports it and setting your device's output resolution accordingly.
