Application Description:

Noir: High-Quality USB Camera Viewer & HDMI Display

Transform your mobile device into a versatile display 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 cameras, endoscopes, and microscopes with USB streaming capabilities.

Noir leverages UVC video and UAC audio streaming, offering OpenGL ES and Vulkan graphics backend 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.

Primary Gaming/PC Monitor: Pro features include visual effects, brightness/contrast adjustment, app-specific volume control, and FSR 1.0.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ):

Device Recognition Issues: Ensure your device supports USB Host (OTG) and that you're using a video capture card, not just a hub or cable. Insufficient power may require a powered USB hub.
Laggy Preview: This often stems from USB version incompatibility. Use USB 3.0 cables and ports for USB 3.0 capture cards. For USB 2.0 cards, use MJPEG format and stick to 1080p30fps (some cards support 1080p50fps).
Sudden Connection Failures: Restart your device. This usually resolves system-related issues.
Black Screen with Gaming Consoles/Players: HDCP may be enabled on your PS5/PS4. Disable it in Settings -> System -> HDMI. Note: PS3 doesn't allow HDCP disabling. Some HDMI splitters bypass HDCP but are not officially supported.
Unsupported Aspect Ratios: Most capture cards only support 16:9 and 4:3. Use Noir's stretch feature (requiring EDID support from your capture card and matching output resolution on your source device).
