Rigs and controllers#
Use hardware recording controls

Use an external display
- Connect the display through a compatible adapter or cable.
- Open Settings › Camera › Clean HDMI Feed and select the required option.
- Check the external image and its orientation before recording.
Display output is a monitoring connection. Confirm the phone's recording timer and save result separately.

Clean HDMI output#

| Clean HDMI Feed | The monitor shows |
|---|---|
| OFF (default) | A mirror of the whole phone screen, controls included (standard iOS mirroring). |
| ON | The camera picture only: no controls, telemetry, timer or reticles; fitted to the screen with black bars. It keeps running during a take. |
Set it in Settings › Camera › Clean HDMI Feed; the change applies at once, with the monitor connected. Connect the monitor with a USB-C display adapter or cable. In normal recording the monitor follows the Log Look view you choose; above 60 fps, in Long-Record Mode, with ProRes RAW and in Dual Capture it shows the camera picture without that view.
