HDMI In

APEX can be used as a display only for the following types of devices. The touchscreen and side panel controls will not affect or work with the device connected.

iOS Devices

  • iPhone 8 and later are supported.
  • Can be adapter sensitive. Our testing has been with the Apple brand for most consistent performance
  • Screen mirrors the phone or tablet's display.
  • Recommended that phone or tablet is up to date in software.
  • If iOS device is disconnected while APEX is still on, the video screen will freeze, but APEX will work without issue.
    • Video function will return normally if iOS device is reconnected.

Android Devices

  • Not all Android devices are video-out capable!
    • Check with device specs to confirm capability.
  • Cannot Hot-plug Android devices. The Android device must be connected prior to powering the APEX on.
  • If an Android device is unplugged while the APEX is still on, the APEX will have to be restarted before video functionality will return.

Laptop/PC

  • Aspect/resolution adjustments may be necessary.
  • If PC is disconnected while APEX is still on, the video screen will freeze, but APEX will work without issue.
    • Video function will return normally if PC is reconnected.

HDMI Out

If you're experiencing issues with the Video Out function of your APEX, please note the following:

  • First refer to the table above to ensure that the resolution and aspect ratio are supported.
  • In most cases, the issue stems from the cable used. We strongly recommend using the HDMI cables we provide (link below).
  • If you opt for a third-party cable, be aware that results may vary across different brands.
  • Check that the display you are using is in good working order, and that the video input works with another device.
