I need to get a live composite video signal to display on iOS, how can I do this, even if it is a workaround?


Is there a device that will allow “composite in” analog video signal into a iOS device?

Does anyone know how can I get a composite analog video signal to display on a iOS device?

I would ideally like a direct wired connection that is still able to charge a iOS device while in use if possible, and to avoid WI-FI OR BT logging in or connecting to that network each time if possible. Willing to go wireless if here is a solid option, it just limits what few options iOS allows to do anything else.

Might there be a wireless module that would allow a Composite In video signal, and transfer the feed to iOS in whatever protocol iOS needs?

Thank you for any help and ideas how to solve this need and problem.

Can add any helpful details that would help receive assistance solving this need.

I found these answers:

Add a composite to HDMI adapter.

That is part of the dificulty.

There is no built in video input, even HDMI.

So simply grabbing a lightning/USBC to HDMI and using a Composite to HDMI won't do anything but output.

There are a few ways to get a video feed onto iOS with BIG compromises, I just can't seem to find something reasonable, and that is very surprising.

After all this time iOS still doesn't directly allow functionality that could be considered basic.

Was really hoping to find someone that has found a usable working solution how to do this specifically, get Composite Video into a iPad.
