Genki Studio turns your iPad into a portable monitor and professional video capture and presentation device. Connect your Genki ShadowCast or any compatible USB UVC input device to start using your iPad as a portable monitor for your gaming console, PC, digital camera, small board computer, or microscope. Record the input at maximum quality and save the media file directly to your iPad or an external SSD to save storage space on your iPad. With external monitor support, your iPad can output full-screen content to another external display via AirPlay or USB-C to HDMI/DisplayPort adapters while continuing recording to your iPad, while using Apple Pencil markup for a quick presentation.

Connecting to UVC devices requires a compatible model of iPad. Requires additional accessories; this app supports Genki ShadowCast, and any other input device that conform with UVC (USB Video Class) standards. Appropriate USB-C adapters, docks, or hubs are required for some devices or configurations. Multitasking features require a compatible model of iPad. Connecting to External Displays wirelessly requires AirPlay 2-enabled TVs, streaming boxes or sticks, or a compatible Mac with the latest macOS update installed; also, using a non-Genki ShadowCast capture product will have an added Genki logo watermark on the clean video output Image.

** UVC input is supported on iPad with a USB-C port. USB-C ports on some iPad only supports maximum USB 3.0 SuperSpeed 5Gbps or USB 2.0 High-Speed, which may limit the formats you can use with your UVC devices. Please check your iPad’s support before downloading this app or buying accessories.

Love it for its simplicity

by Ro*****, 2026-07-22

I’d rather word my title this way and give five stars than a more enthusiastic title with four stars. That out of the way, Genki Studio is truly a great app. Even so, it boggles my mind that it supports the smallest and latest iPad, but not the largest and latest iPhone. Place two of said iPhones side by side and you essentially have the same screen real estate as the iPad Mini. As trivial of a feature it may be to hope for iPhone support someday, I do think it would be at the very least useful for testing HDMI output on various devices. There are other UVC viewers that support iPhone, but nothing supports Genki Shadowcast as seamlessly as this App does. I understand that generally speaking this app was made with heavy consideration for the Nintendo Switch (it all started with Genki Audio on Kickstarter… proud supporter!), but I will say for the sake of iPad Mini users out there: Yes, the iPad mini’s screen is barely bigger than that of the Switch. But Genki was on to something with Apple displays. Relatively same size or not, Nintendo Switch looks crisper (in handheld mode, Switch only does 720p; 1080p is only via HDMI out) and the iPad mini’s speakers are louder. So it’s worthwhile to try for Switch, but I personally wanted to use this app for other game consoles without built in screens. This does great for those too. I’ve never had an HDMI device I’ve tested not work with the Shadowcast, which is their official hardware. As a final note, I think it’s pretty cool that they allow for any UVC device, but I don’t think all UVC devices are created equal. I’ve used a 3rd party UVC device on PC with the Genki Arcade app, and it was nowhere near as clean. It did work, but there was a huge black border I don’t get with Shadowcast. I hope they continue to make the Shadowcast! The space saving design is so convenient. Genki Studio is a must have for UVC. I really hope they decide to either add support for iPhone or introduce a separate app. I’d rather install something from Human Things than some random shady looking app. If you have a Shadowcast, get it! You won’t be disappointed
