Four assigned sources
Place up to four available Parade or local capture sources into a 2×2 monitor. Each quadrant keeps its own source label, format, colour-space readout, zoom, and scopes.
NDI · SMPTE ST 2110 · DIRECT PCI CAPTURE · RESOLVE / PREMIERE
Four feeds. One iPad.
The field monitor/recorder, rebuilt.
Bring NDI, SMPTE ST 2110, and direct PCI capture sources into one quad—or use Parade as a dedicated iPad monitor from Premiere or DaVinci Resolve while you edit or grade. Switch A/B/C/D full-screen, use synchronized multi-feed recording and touch scopes, and save 10-bit HDR stills from Resolve or live video straight to Photos.
No proprietary SSDs or recording-option keys. Local Parade sessions need no account or internet connection.

See all four.
Punch one full-screen.
Parade keeps four sources visible in a clean 2×2 monitor. QUAD and A–D controls put any feed full-screen while recording, playback, timecode, and touch scopes stay on the iPad already in your kit.
Live full-screen switching
Tap A, B, C, or D—or double-tap the picture—to inspect one source full-screen. The other source connections stay active and recording is unaffected.
Hold the display, not the signal
Freeze the last displayed frame across the monitor. Zoom, probes, and scopes still work while incoming feeds and active recordings continue.
One take, separate files
Record each distinct assigned feed as its own 10-bit HEVC .mov with aligned timing. Play the take back through the same quad or full-screen viewer and use the same inspection tools.

The physical-I/O setup: Parade uses one direct UVC capture path on iPad. Additional quad slots can receive Parade, NDI, SMPTE ST 2110, Resolve, Premiere, or ParadeLink DeckLink sources over the local network.
Build the video village out of iPads.
Start with direct UVC capture. Add Parade transmitters and network sources to fill the other A–D slots, then give operators or clients their own local view.
THREE WAYS TO FILL A–D
Camera, post output,
or network feed.
Mix direct UVC capture with Resolve, Premiere, and other Parade sources. Choose what belongs in each quadrant instead of building the monitor around one fixed input type.
01CAMERA · HDMI / SDI → USB-C
Direct UVC capture
Connect a compatible UVC capture device to an iPhone or iPad. Put that camera in any A–D slot, then monitor, record, or transmit it.
02PLUGIN OUTPUT · SAME WI-FI
Resolve or Premiere
Each Resolve or Premiere output appears as an available Parade source. Assign it to any A–D slot on an iPad using the same Wi-Fi network.
03ALREADY ON THE NETWORK
Live network source
Choose another Parade feed already on the local network and place it beside the camera, Resolve, or Premiere in the same quad.
MORE THAN A MONITOR / RECORDER · DIRECT UVC
Turn an iPhone or iPad into an on-set video transmitter.
Connect your camera through a compatible USB-C UVC capture device. Parade monitors that feed locally and sends it straight to nearby iPhones and iPads using Apple's peer-to-peer connection system—the same basic approach AirDrop uses.

TWO-CAMERA · NO ROUTER REQUIRED
Two cameras. Two iPads. Each operator can check the other frame.
Connect Camera A to one iPad and Camera B to another through UVC capture. Each iPad monitors and transmits its own camera, and the two devices exchange their Parade feeds directly. No existing Wi-Fi network or router is required.

THE TOOL ROW, REBUILT FOR TOUCH
Awesome, interactive scopes. On every feed.
Waveform, vectorscope, histogram, false colour, HSL qualifier, IRE probes, key uniformity, and focus peaking. Move and resize them with your hands or open one full-screen.
RGB waveform
Read the red, green, and blue traces together. Move the panel, resize it, or open it full-screen.
Vectorscope
Check hue and saturation against Rec.709 or Rec.2020 targets, with adjustable trace gain.
RGB histogram
Compare the distribution of all three channels. Move, resize, or open the histogram full-screen.
Exposure false colour
Map luminance to fixed colour bands for fast exposure checks in SDR, PQ, and HLG.
HSL qualifier
Tap a skin tone, refine its HSL range, and apply false colour only inside that selection. Compare skin-tone exposure and consistency between shots while the rest of the frame stays unchanged.
Eight IRE probes
Place and drag up to eight spot meters. The reading stays inside each probe, directly over the sampled area.
Uniformity key
Sample a green or blue screen and reveal distance bands or a keyed checker view.
Focus peaking
Choose edge, fine-detail, outline, or soft peaking; then set sensitivity, overlay strength, colour, and underlay.
Put Resolve and Premiere beside the cameras.
Assign an edit or grading output to any A–D slot, use iPad as a dedicated display, or keep simultaneous SDR and HDR outputs visible on separate devices.
RESOLVE → iPAD
Three local steps.
No account setup.
Parade sends the finished Resolve frame directly to iPad. No Blackmagic ID, no internet dependency, and no cloud relay between the timeline and the viewer.
01 · FINAL NODEAdd Parade OFX
Place the pass-through effect on the final timeline node so it receives the finished frame.
02 · EXPLICIT OUTPUTChoose 709, PQ, or HLG

03 · SAME WI-FIOpen Parade on iPad
Put the Resolve system and iPad on the same Wi-Fi network, then open the picture and touch scopes.

Zoom the frame, move the scopes, place IRE probes, or save a 10-bit HDR HEIC still to Photos.
If the timeline stops, Parade refreshes the current frame once per second for viewers that join late.
TWO POST OUTPUTS
Resolve or Premiere.
Your iPad is the display.
Resolve carries explicit Rec.709, PQ, and HLG selection. Premiere sends its Rec.709 Program Monitor picture without adding an effect to the timeline.

The OFX exposes the output choice at the source. Parade uses that tag for the iPad display path; Premiere output is Rec.709 in the current transmitter.

TWO PARADE OUTPUTS · ONE RESOLVE TIMELINE
Monitor SDR and HDR at the same time.
Use two iPads and two Parade OFX instances. Each iPad receives its own live colour-space output from the same Resolve timeline. The Resolve system and both iPads must be connected to the same Wi-Fi network.
- 01
Branch after the grade. Create separate SDR and HDR paths in the timeline node graph.
- 02
Transform each branch. Set one path to Rec.709 and the other to Rec.2100 PQ or HLG.
- 03
Stream both pictures. Put Parade after each transform, then connect a different iPad to each output on the same Wi-Fi network.
One Resolve timeline. Two live pictures. SDR and HDR remain visible side by side.
DAVINCI RESOLVE · TIMELINE NODES2 OUTPUTS
10-BIT HEIC · RESOLVE OR LIVE VIDEO
Take HDR stills. Directly from the picture.
From a DaVinci Resolve output or an HDR live feed, two-finger tap saves the current frame as a 10-bit HDR HEIC in Photos. No stopping the grade to export a frame on the Mac. No SDR screenshot flattening the result.
Use the iPad as your dedicated picture while editing, or hand it to a client above the grading monitor. They can zoom into a face, title, edge, or prop and save the HDR frame without taking over Resolve.
For mastering: keep a calibrated reference monitor and controlled video I/O. Parade is a portable, secondary, or client display with scopes.

CURRENT BUILD · NO OPTION KEYS
Four-up monitoring,
without hiding the limits.
Parade covers portable quad monitoring, multi-feed recording, playback, timecode, and scopes on iPad. These are the current source paths, physical I/O limits, and host requirements.

STRAIGHT ANSWERS
What Parade does—and where it fits.
“Can I plug four SDI cables straight into the iPad?”
No. Parade has one local UVC capture path. Fill the remaining quadrants with Parade sources on the local network—other transmitters, Resolve outputs, Premiere, or another available live source.
“Do the other feeds stop when I punch A full-screen?”
No. Full-screen is a view change, not a source switch. All four connections stay up, assignments remain in place, and an active recording continues.
“Does the picture leave the room?”
Not during a Parade session. Sources travel locally between the devices you connect. No Parade account, cloud relay, or internet connection is required.
“Is an iPad my new reference monitor?”
No. Parade replaces a portable monitor/recorder/scope role. Keep a calibrated reference monitor and controlled video I/O for mastering and final QC.
