### Transform Your tablet Into a Professional Video Monitor
Simple USBVideo turns your iOS device into a powerful USB video capture viewer and recorder. Perfect for content creators, streamers, and professionals who need to view and capture video from external sources.
** IMPORTANT: This app requires a UVC-compatible video capture device**
### What is a UVC Device?
UVC (USB Video Class) devices are standardized USB video capture cards that connect between your video source (camera, laptop, gaming console) and your iPad via USB-C. These devices convert HDMI, SDI, or other video signals into a format your iOS device can display.
**You'll need to purchase a UVC capture device separately.**
