Field notes
The documented workflow is deliberately local: an HDMI source feeds a USB-C capture dongle, which presents the signal inside the iPad app without an account, Wi-Fi dependency, or cloud relay. The site distinguishes Aspect Fit from Stretch Fit for different display shapes, including 4:3 retro footage, and lists power-pass-through and low-latency capture hardware as practical considerations. Pro features are described separately from the free framing, zoom, audio, and snapshot tools.
