iPad What connectors would I need to connect.....

[Sonic Pilot]

I want to use an iPad 8Th gen as a video monitor while filming with a Galaxy S9 Plus. I want to use an HDMI cable to connect them and achieve this.The Galaxy S9 Plus has a USBC port and the iPad has the lightning port. Is there a single cord that I can connect that will allow the HDMI to display on the iPad?
I'm new at this and just want to be sure I get the right cord/connector that will work.

Thanks for any advice!

I don’t think you will be able to achieve this in the way you describe.

iPad does not support HDMI in (only out) and by the way other tablets don't either, so what you are trying to do is just impossible...

Im afraid you cannot do that.

Thanks for the advice. I thought I could do this after watching some youtube videos where it appeared iPads were hooked up as field monitors.

they were probably using some app connected to the internet...

Thanks again guys for "adjusting" my expectations on this. I'll go in a different direction. Think I will just buy a dedicated field monitor instead of trying to get an iPad to work for this purpose.

It’s possible to use like this via an app using a private local wifi network, for sure with a dslr.

Yea, the App is not a good option for me. Typically they have significant lag and require a constant internet connection....both are deal breakers.

I use my iPad Pro occasionally via camera connect with my 5d’s and it’s great but I shoot stills so can’t comment on video lag. It doesn’t need any internet connect, it forms a LAN.

Is it possible they were actually shooting video from the iPad?

The new Sony Android phone accepts HDMI in for exactly this purpose.
