External camera support depends on the mobile device, connection interface and capture accessory. The connection methods differ between iPhone, iPad and Android.
Requirements
- Identify your device model and operating system
- Check the camera’s HDMI output and the capture accessory’s input specifications
Step-by-step guide
- For iPhone, use a compatible Accsoon SeeMo connection where supported by Live Now.
- For USB-C iPad, use a compatible UVC HDMI capture card.
- For supported Android devices, use a UVC capture card with USB host/OTG support.
- Configure clean HDMI output, preferably 1080p, and test the live preview.
- Confirm audio capture, power and heat stability during a long test.
Important notes
- A basic HDMI-to-USB-C cable is not equivalent to an HDMI capture card.
- Compatibility can vary by capture card chipset, supported formats and device model.
