Noir: High-Quality USB Camera Viewer & HDMI Display

Transform your mobile device into a portable monitor for cameras, gaming consoles, laptops, PCs, and more! This app requires an HDMI to USB-C dongle (a UVC capture device or video capture card – not a USB-C hub or USB-C to HDMI cable) to function. It also supports USB streaming cameras, endoscopes, and microscopes.

Noir utilizes UVC video and UAC audio streaming, offering OpenGL ES and Vulkan graphics options. The free version provides core functionality and an immersive experience (with ads, but not in the preview). Upgrade to the pro version for enhanced features and to support ongoing development.

Key Applications:

1. Camera Monitoring: Pro features include LUTs, histograms, and edge detection.
2. Primary Gaming Monitor: Pro features include visual effects, brightness/contrast adjustments, app-specific volume control, and FSR 1.0.
3. Secondary Laptop Monitor: Extend your workspace seamlessly.
4. Broad Compatibility: Works with any device featuring HDMI output or USB streaming.

Recommended Capture Cards:

• Hagibis UHC07(P): Affordable and supports convenient PD charging. https://bit.ly/noir-hagibis-uhc07

Pro Version Enhancements:

1. Ad-free experience with zero tracking.
2. Visual effects for enhanced viewing.
3. Picture-in-picture mode for multitasking.
4. Brightness and contrast adjustments for optimal viewing.
5. Full-screen stretching for maximized display.
6. 3D LUTs for color grading.
7. App-specific volume control for precise audio management.
8. Luminance and color histograms for advanced image analysis.
9. Edge detection for improved clarity.
10. FSR 1.0 for enhanced image quality.

Troubleshooting:

1. Device Recognition Issues: Ensure your device supports USB Host (OTG) and that you're using a video capture card, not just a hub. Insufficient power might require a powered USB hub.
2. Laggy Preview: Check your USB version (USB 3.0 recommended). For USB 2.0, use MJPEG format and stick to 1080p30fps (some cards support 1080p50fps).
3. Sudden Connection Failure: Restart your device.
4. Black Screen (Gaming Consoles): Disable HDCP in your console's settings (Settings -> System -> HDMI). Note: PS3 doesn't support HDCP disabling. HDMI splitters might bypass HDCP, but this is not officially supported.
5. Unsupported Resolutions: Most capture cards only support 16:9 and 4:3. Use Noir's stretch feature to adjust, provided your capture card's EDID supports it.
