My sixth-generation iPad Mini is now pulling double duty as a portable TV. That's thanks to the free and excellent Orion app, which, when paired with an inexpensive USB-C to HDMI adapter, turns any compatible iPad into a display capable of connecting to just about any output device.
You'll need an iPad with a USB-C port. That includes the following models: iPad Pro 11-inch (first generation or later) iPad Pro 12.9-inch (third generation or later) iPad Air (fourth generation or later) iPad Mini (sixth generation) You'll also need a USB-C to HDMI adapter capable of capturing video.
Fire up the app, and at the initial launch screen you'll be prompted to connect the HDMI adapter. You'll know at this point whether your adapter is compatible or not: The app won't proceed unless it is. If it's compatible, you'll be prompted to allow camera and sound access. Say yes to both prompts. Connect your device Once you've done that, connect your device via an HDMI cable, and the iPad should spring to life just like connecting the device to a TV would. That's it! You're off to the races.
