Turn Your Device into an HDMI Monitor with a Capture Card
Noir Lite
Noir Pro
To use your device as a portable display for a gaming console, laptop, camera, or any other HDMI-output device, you need a USB-C capture card (not a USB-C hub or USB-C to HDMI cable).
Cameras, endoscopes, and microscopes with USB streaming features are also supported.
Noir supports both UVC video and UAC audio streaming, offering a choice between OpenGL ES and Vulkan for the graphics backend.

FAQ
Does Noir work on all Android devices?
Some devices with MediaTek, RockChip, or other SOCs may have compatibility issues due to chipset-specific USB implementations. Qualcomm-based devices generally have better compatibility.
Why doesn't Noir recognize my device?
Possible reasons are that your phone or tablet doesn't support USB Host (OTG) or the device you are using isn't a Video Capture Card. In some rare cases, you may need a USB adapter or USB hub to ensure the capture card works properly.
Why is the preview so laggy?
This is often due to the USB version. If you are using a USB 3.0 capture card, ensure that both the USB data cable and the USB port on your phone or tablet are USB 3.0 compatible. If you are using a USB 2.0 capture card, ensure the video format is MJPEG and does not exceed 1080p30fps. Note that some capture cards may support up to 1080p50fps.
My capture card stopped working suddenly. Why?
This issue is often caused by system problems. The simplest and most effective solution is to restart your phone or tablet and try again.
Why do I see a black screen from my console?
This issue is more common among PS5 and PS4 users and is caused by the gaming console enabling HDCP. To resolve it, go to the PS console interface: Settings > System > HDMI, and disable the 'Enable HDCP' option. Note that the PS3 does not allow you to turn off HDCP. Other devices may also automatically enable HDCP when playing video content, which can result in a black screen. Some HDMI splitters can bypass HDCP restrictions and may serve as a workaround.
