TOUCH-INTERACTIVE MONITORING · SCOPES · LOCAL VIDEO

iPad monitoring.
For the whole set, the editing suite, and the color suite.

Parade puts touch-interactive monitoring and scopes on iPad for Resolve, Premiere Pro, or straight from your camera. Use one as a camera monitor, connect nearby devices directly for a small crew, or add a router when four or more devices need the picture.

In camera transmitter mode, nearby Apple devices connect directly using the same peer-to-peer approach as AirDrop. Resolve and Premiere monitoring use the same Wi-Fi network as the computer.

01 · ON SET

Camera monitoring and transmission.

Start with one camera and one iPad. Add nearby Parade devices directly, or put a router in the kit for a larger viewing group.

HEADLINE FEATURE · 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.

2 DEVICES Direct · no router3 DEVICES Direct · lower bitrate4+ DEVICES Router recommendedNO INTERNET Local picture only
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.

01 Each camera connects to its operator's iPad through UVC capture.02 Each iPad publishes its camera as a separate Parade stream.03 The operators exchange feeds directly, without joining a Wi-Fi network.
CAMERA INPUTS

Direct capture now.
DeckLink next.

Use a class-compliant UVC capture device today. A companion Mac encoder for streaming a DeckLink SDI source is coming soon.

01CAMERA → USB-C · MONITOR + TRANSMIT

Direct UVC capture

Connect a compatible UVC capture device to an iPhone or iPad. Monitor the camera locally, transmit directly to nearby Parade devices, or add a router when the viewing group gets larger.

02COMPANION MAC APP · COMING SOON

DeckLink network encoder

Stream any SDI source live over your local network from a DeckLink device. The companion streaming encoder app is coming soon.

SCOPES ON EVERY FEED

Waveform to eight IRE probes. All on the picture.

Move and resize scopes with your hands, isolate a skin-tone range for false colour, or open one tool full-screen. The same touch tools work with camera, Resolve, and Premiere feeds.

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.

02 · POST PRODUCTION

Resolve and Premiere monitoring.

Use the iPad already in your bag as a dedicated edit display, a touch scope surface, a second colour-space view, or a client inspection monitor.

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

Set the stream colour space and 0.5–100 Mb/s quality range in Resolve.

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.

SOURCE

Final Resolve node

The Parade OFX receives the graded frame and passes the image through unchanged.

CONNECTION
10

Same Wi-Fi network

A local 10-bit picture path. No Parade account and no cloud session to create.

VIEWER

Picture plus scopes

Zoom the frame, move the scopes, place IRE probes, or save a 10-bit HEIC screenshot.

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.

DaVinci Resolve

Place Parade on the final timeline node. Choose Rec.709, Rec.2100 PQ, or Rec.2100 HLG, then send the finished picture to an iPad on the same Wi-Fi network.

02MERCURY TRANSMIT · REC.709

Adobe Premiere Pro

Install the output bundle once, then select Parade Video under Premiere Pro → Settings → Playback. The Program Monitor picture follows on iPad with no timeline effect.

RESOLVE OUTPUT

Choose Rec.709, PQ, or HLG before the picture leaves Resolve.

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.

Rec.709Rec.2100 PQRec.2100 HLG
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.

  1. 01

    Branch after the grade. Create separate SDR and HDR paths in the timeline node graph.

  2. 02

    Transform each branch. Set one path to Rec.709 and the other to Rec.2100 PQ or HLG.

  3. 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.

MOBILE EDIT · CLIENT INSPECTION

Give the client an iPad. Keep your grading display.

Use iPad as the dedicated picture while editing on a MacBook, or set one above the suite monitor for the client. They can zoom into a face, title, edge, or prop; move a scope; and save a 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

These are the current paths. Parade does not claim to replace a calibrated reference display, a dailies system, or an offload tool.

iOS and iPadOS 17+. Waveform, vectorscope, histogram, false colour, HSL qualifier, up to eight IRE probes, uniformity key, focus peaking, zoom, 10-bit HEIC capture, and direct UVC transmission from a compatible USB-C device. Two devices connect directly without a router; three can connect directly at a lower bitrate; a router is recommended for four or more. App installation and updates may still require App Store access.

STRAIGHT ANSWERS

Four questions to ask before you put it in the room.

01

“Is an iPad my new reference monitor?”

No. Parade is a portable, secondary, or client display with scopes. Keep a calibrated reference monitor and controlled video I/O for mastering and final QC.

02

“Does the picture leave the room?”

Not during a Parade session. Resolve and Premiere send over the local Wi-Fi network shared with the iPad. No Parade account, cloud relay, or internet connection is required.

03

“Does the OFX change my grade?”

The OFX is a pass-through monitor output. Put it on the final timeline node; Parade receives the finished frame and the image continues through the node unchanged.

04

“Which colour space am I looking at?”

The OFX plugin allows you to specify any common display colour space for each stream—Rec.709, Rec.2100 PQ, or HLG. Drop the effect into your timeline and ensure each viewer receives the intended colour space.
