To use your device as a portable display for a gaming console, laptop, camera, or other HDMI devices, a USB-C capture card is required (USB-C hubs and USB-C to HDMI adapters are not supported).

USB streaming devices such as cameras, endoscopes, and microscopes are also supported.

Noir supports both UVC video and UAC audio streaming with hardware-accelerated low-latency rendering.

FAQ

Android

Does Noir work on all Android devices?

Some devices with MediaTek, RockChip, or other SOCs may have compatibility issues. Qualcomm-based devices generally have better compatibility.

Android iPad

Why doesn't Noir recognize my device?

Your device may not support USB Host (OTG), or the connected device may not be a UVC capture card. In rare cases, a USB adapter or hub may help.

Android iPad

Why is the preview so laggy?

Usually a USB version mismatch. For USB 3.0 cards, make sure both the cable and your device's port are USB 3.0. For USB 2.0 cards, use MJPEG format and keep resolution at or below 1080p30 (some cards support up to 1080p50).

Android iPad

My capture card stopped working suddenly. Why?

Usually a temporary system issue. Restarting your device is the simplest fix.

Android iPad

Why do I see a black screen from my console?

Most commonly caused by HDCP being enabled on the console. On PS5/PS4, go to Settings > System > HDMI and disable Enable HDCP. Note that PS3 does not support disabling HDCP. Other devices may also enable HDCP automatically when playing protected content. Some HDMI splitters can strip HDCP as a workaround.
