so I've been getting a ton of comments both on Twitter as well as on YouTube of how you can use any iPad, your iPad Pro, your iPad Air, your iPad Mini even as a mobile display for your brand new M4 Mac Mini and in this video what I'm going to

do is walk you guys through two different ways of actually getting this done because one way you can do no matter what and the other way is probably a little bit more beneficial but there's a little bit of a caveat that you need to go with but without

further ado let's talk about how to make your iPad a portable display for your M4 Mac Mini because with the iPad the Mac Mini together you could pretty much take this anywhere and have an awesome mobile operating system let's get into [Music]

it so before we get into this live demo and how to actually set this up in both of these different ways I do want to mention that the setup process is going to be your one C that you're going to have to get through right one of these

ways will allow you to just use this even during the setup process so you don't have to worry about getting the setup first before using your iPad and you do need to add one additional piece of hardware which is about a $20 dongle which I'll leave a link down below and

I'll explain how that all works and the second version is going to be all through continuity which technically probably works a little bit better especially if you have a great Wi-Fi connection but you will not be able to run this continuity until you set up your Mac Mini and you cannot set up your

Mac Mini without a display, so that's what we're going to have to work around, which I'll show you guys in a second, but let's get into the first way of how to use your iPad Pro as a dummy display for your Mac Mini for an awesome portable

desk setup. So let's get started with the situation and like I mentioned first, we're going to be going through the continuity aspect of how to use this iPad Pro alongside the Mac Mini, which I have pulled out over here, and I am using my BenQ monitor up top, and that is what

my Mac Mini is connected to currently via USB-C. So I'll also put a screen recording up to make this a little bit easier to visualize, but what you're going to want to do first is on your actual Mac computer itself, you're going

to want to go into your system settings. And as you can see in my system settings right now, the only monitor that's recognized is going to be my BenQ PD 3225 U, which I do absolutely love, and I'll leave the link down below if you

guys want to check that out, but you're going to want to press this little plus button. But before we do that, make sure that your iPad Pro, or any iPad, cuz this will work across any iPad, is connected to the same Wi-Fi and you're

logged into the same Apple ID to both of these devices. So once you know that you have that set up, we're going to press this plus button, and then you're going to see 'Link Keyboard and Mouse to Fern's M4 iPad Pro,' or you're going to want to

actually use the mirror or extend to options so this links your keyboard and mouse, meaning that you can use your keyboard that's connected to your Mac Mini and your mouse that's connected to your Mac Mini and use it to control your iPad. We don't want that option, we want to

actually extend, so we're going to click on 'Fern's M4 iPad Pro.' You got to give it a second for it to connect to itself, and then voila, down here on my iPad Pro you're able to see that we're now running, quote unquote, Mac OS right

so if I'm using my mouse right here, the first thing I want to do is arrange this correctly. So now that it's all arranged how we want it to be arranged, if we move the mouse down here you can see that I am technically running, quote unquote, Mac

OS, so if I pull up, let's say one of my tabs, so let's open up the calendar, it's going to open up the calendar and I have my dock app here on the iPad, and then I have the calendar popping up here, but I can click and drag over here and this

works like any other screen or any secondary screen that you could use. So I can use this as an extended monitor if I wanted to. So that is how you use your M4 iPad Pro, and again, it works with any iPad as long as you're on the correct

Wi-Fi, if you're running the latest operating systems on both of these, and then of course if you have the same Apple ID connected there. So that is how you use the first version of using your iPad Pro alongside your Mac Mini, which I think is a great solution, especially if

you have a multiple desk setup or multiple monitor setup and I like to be able to use the Hub of the iPad Pro and then one thing I know that people are going to ask is will you be able to use the magic keyboard as a peripheral as an

input device for Mac OS because technically we're connected to the iPad and this is to control iPad OS but you can see here that I have my Satechi keyboard This is technically Bluetooth connected to my Mac Mini obviously we're going to type it out something does type

up in the search bar but now if I move this off to the side and then I use the keyboard on the iPad Pro if I type something in it still does work so you can use the keyboard normally one thing that you cannot use is the trackpad

which is kind of interesting and how Apple's implementing this but the trackpad doesn't work at all you can kind of see it popping up for a second but it's because it's trying to pop up the iPad OS Mouse because if I swipe up

then I have that Mouse but if you're in this mode the only way to actually control it is to control it with the external Mouse that's connected via Bluetooth to the Mac Mini but you can use the keyboard to type away so that is something that I know many people are

going to ask but now let's get into the second version which is when you purely use the iPad Pro as an external display for your Mac Mini so for this way of working your iPad Pro as a display for your Mac Mini you're going to need something

called an HDMI capture card and what this does is it's going to reverse the direction of the HDMI and you guys have maybe seen some of my videos talking about how to use this thing with game consoles and being able to use your iPad Pro as a

dummy display but what this essentially does is that it HDMI outs from let's say something like a Mac Mini and allows you to HDMI in to your iPad Pro because if you were to use a regular USB-C to HDMI dongle it would actually try to send the

video out from the iPad to whatever device you're plugging into this little capture card which I believe is around $19 or $20 or $21 at the max will allow you to reverse that so I definitely recommend getting one of these because without this this is not going to be

able to be used and then of course you're going to need an HDMI cable and then lastly you're going to need to have a free app called Orion there is a paid or in-app purchase for it as well to give you some 4K scaling but this is

essentially what's going to allow you to turn this into a dummy display as you can see it kind of has that same vibe as an old school TV again that's not what it's going to look like once it's plugged in but that's what essentially

this is doing it's turning this into a TV or a monitor that you can then HDMI into and in this version you're actually able to set up your Mac Mini through this version because technically what you're doing what I keep mentioning is that you're turning your iPad Pro into a

display because normally when you set up your Mac Mini, you need to plug into a monitor in order to connect peripherals in order to then use those setting menus that I mentioned earlier. Because without those, then you're not going to be able to actually use anything outside of that.

With this version of using your iPad Pro as a secondary display, you're able to do that now. So if we grab this capture card, grab any old HDMI cable and to show you how well this works, I will be unplugging my monitor. So as you can see, my monitor

is completely disconnected. I do have the Mac Mini still turned on, so what we're going to do here is plug this in. We're going to go to the back, so the HDMI is plugged in and all we have to do is plug this in here and then it should

recognize it. If you do give it a second and then voila, you are running your Mac OS computer on this Mac Mini. So as you can see here, there's multiple ways to actually do this from a resolution standpoint. By default, it was at 720p, but

right now I put it at 1080p and you can see that it is kind of squished down with the black bars on the bottom and the top, but again, you still get the ability to use your Mac Mini with your iPad Pro with zero issues whatsoever, as

you can see I'm running it like normal. There is a little bit of latency as you can see with that little wiggle, but again, it still works normally. You don't need to have an external monitor plugged into it. This can be your one and only

external monitor and if you want to just click on here and use it normally it will work normally again. This will allow you to use your Mac Mini on the go with a very easy setup. So all you have to do is bring your iPad Pro, your Mac Mini, a

mouse and a keyboard and you're good to go. But now the question is can you use a trackpad or the mouse similar to the other situation we had before? The trackpad of course does not work because this is an iPad app so it thinks you are

in the iPad OS system still. And if you want to type something out will this work? Unfortunately it will not, so you do need to have a secondary keyboard, which I have right here, and use this to type away and then that'll work normally. So you're essentially using

your iPad Pro as a dummy display for your Mac Mini and that is how you set up and use your iPad Pro. And again this works with any iPad that has USB-C. So as long as it has a USB-C port on the bottom of it, it'll work. So the iPad 10th

generation, the new iPad Minis, the new iPad Airs, iPad Pro since 2018, this will all work perfectly with these iPads. And I think technically you can even use your iPhone with the app and use Mac OS on your iPhone, which would be a funny

one to do, but that is how you set this up. Now let's finish up the video, so that was just about do it for this video everybody, as you saw in my opinion the best way to do this especially if you're working on this in a true mobile fashion

and your only monitor is going to be your iPad, you're going to have to go through the HDMI capture card route and using the Orion application in order to do this because you do have to rely on things like Wi-Fi or Bluetooth connectivity and all those different

factors when you are using it in continuity mode. Being able to use it in continuity mode is probably the best way to do this, but it only really works if you have a great and stable Wi-Fi connection. And most people, if you are truly using this as a mobile setup, they

probably don't have a Wi-Fi connection on the ready. Yes, you can hotspot your phone, yes, you can kind of connect to slower Wi-Fi, but it will get a little bit choppy and the latency will kind of hit there versus with Orion. At the end of

the day, you will be able to use it and use it how it's intended to be used because again, you're only using your iPad Pro as a dummy display and nothing else is happening. So anything that has an HDMI out will be able to use this way

of using your iPad Pro as an external display. So think, you know, game consoles, think your Steam Deck, think a Switch, think a MacBook Pro, think a Windows PC, anything that has an HDMI out will be able to use your iPad Pro or any iPad for that matter as a display, but that'll

do it for this video. Everybody, if you did make it to the end, leave a little dolphin in the comments down below so I know you made it to the end. Let me know if you are actually going to be running a setup like this. I do have a travel

Setup video coming up, how I'm using my M4 Mac Mini on the go because there's a bunch of different ways to do this. With the iPad Pro, with a portable display, and everything in between, so definitely stay subscribed and stay tuned cuz that's

definitely a fun one, but that'll do it everybody. If you do want to watch more videos like this one, definitely check out one of these videos right here. YouTube thinks you're going to like this one and I personally think you're going to like the one below, but that'll do it.

Until next time, I'm Fernando. Peace everybody.

iPad를 M4 Mac Mini용 모바일 디스플레이로 사용하기

트위터와 YouTube에서 iPad를 M4 Mac Mini의 디스플레이로 사용하는 것에 대해 많은 댓글이 달렸습니다.

하나는 보편적으로 작동하는 방법이고 다른 하나는 더 유익하지만 주의할 점이 있는 방법입니다.

설정 프로세스는 두 가지 방법 간에 차이가 있으며, 하나는 설정 중에 사용할 수 있습니다.

두 번째 방법에는 $20 동글이 필요합니다(링크 제공).

두 번째 방법은 연속성을 사용하므로 디스플레이가 필요한 Mac Mini를 미리 설정해야 합니다.

방법 1: iPad용 연속성을 외부 디스플레이로 사용하기

연속성을 사용하여 iPad Pro를 Mac Mini에 연결합니다(이미 BenQ 모니터에 연결됨).

iPad와 Mac Mini가 동일한 Wi-Fi 및 Apple ID로 설정되어 있는지 확인합니다.

시스템 설정에서 더하기 버튼을 클릭하여 iPad를 디스플레이로 추가하고 '확장'을 선택하면 두 번째 화면으로 사용할 수 있습니다.

마우스를 사용하여 iPad의 확장 디스플레이를 제어하는 방법을 시연합니다.

매직 키보드와 트랙패드를 사용하여 주소 지정: 키보드는 작동하지만 트랙패드는 작동하지 않습니다.

방법 2: iPad용 HDMI 캡처 카드를 외부 디스플레이로 사용

이 방법을 사용하려면 HDMI 신호를 역방향으로 변환하는 HDMI 캡처 카드가 필요합니다.

HDMI 캡처 카드의 기능과 필요성에 대해 설명합니다.

HDMI 캡처 카드(약 $19~$21), HDMI 케이블, Orion 앱을 권장합니다.

이 방법을 사용하면 디스플레이로 작동하는 iPad를 통해 Mac Mini를 직접 설정할 수 있습니다.

캡처 카드와 HDMI 케이블을 사용하여 Mac Mini를 iPad에 연결하는 방법을 시연합니다.

iPad에서 1080p로 실행되는 Mac Mini를 약간의 지연 시간으로 표시합니다.

트랙패드가 작동하지 않으므로 타이핑을 위해 별도의 키보드가 필요합니다.

연속성 방법의 Wi-Fi/블루투스 종속성으로 인해 진정한 모바일 사용을 위해 HDMI 캡처 카드 방법을 권장합니다.

연속성 방식은 Wi-Fi가 안정적인 경우 더 좋으며, 그렇지 않은 경우 끊어질 수 있습니다.

HDMI 캡처 카드 방식은 HDMI 출력이 있는 모든 장치에서 작동합니다.

M4 Mac Mini를 사용한 여행용 설정에 대한 곧 출시될 동영상을 소개합니다.

iPad를 Mac Mini의 휴대용 디스플레이로 사용하는 두 가지 방법이 있으며, 하나는 추가 하드웨어(HDMI 캡처 카드)를 사용하고 다른 하나는 Continuity 기능을 활용합니다.

HDMI 캡처 카드를 사용하면 iPad를 Mac Mini 설정 과정에서도 디스플레이로 사용할 수 있으며, Continuity는 설정 후 Wi-Fi 연결을 통해 iPad를 확장 디스플레이로 활용할 수 있습니다.

Continuity 모드는 안정적인 Wi-Fi 연결이 필요하지만, HDMI 캡처 카드는 Wi-Fi 없이도 iPad를 모든 HDMI 출력 장치의 디스플레이로 사용할 수 있게 해줍니다.

📱 iPad를 Mac Mini의 휴대용 디스플레이로 활용하는 방법

이 비디오에서는 iPad를 M4 Mac Mini의 휴대용 디스플레이로 사용하는 두 가지 방법을 소개합니다. 첫 번째 방법은 **어떤 iPad에서도 사용 가능하며**, 두 번째 방법은 **Wi-Fi 연결 상태가 좋을 때 더 유용**하지만 설정에 약간의 제약이 있습니다.

📶 Continuity를 이용한 무선 연결

첫 번째 방법은 Continuity 기능을 활용하는 것입니다. Mac Mini와 iPad를 **동일한 Wi-Fi에 연결하고 동일한 Apple ID로 로그인**해야 합니다. 시스템 설정에서 '디스플레이 추가' 버튼을 클릭하여 iPad를 선택하면 **iPad가 Mac Mini의 확장 디스플레이로 작동**합니다.

이 방법을 사용하면 Mac Mini에 연결된 키보드와 마우스를 iPad에서 사용할 수 있습니다. 하지만 **iPad의 트랙패드는 작동하지 않습니다**. iPad의 키보드는 Mac OS에서 작동하지만, 트랙패드는 iPad OS에서만 작동하기 때문입니다.

🔌 HDMI 캡처 카드를 이용한 유선 연결

두 번째 방법은 HDMI 캡처 카드를 사용하는 것입니다. 이 방법을 사용하면 **iPad를 Mac Mini의 더미 디스플레이로 활용**할 수 있습니다. HDMI 캡처 카드는 **약 20달러 정도**이며, Orion이라는 앱이 필요합니다.

이 방법은 Mac Mini를 설정할 때 유용합니다. 일반적으로 Mac Mini를 설정하려면 모니터가 필요하지만, **HDMI 캡처 카드를 사용하면 iPad를 모니터 대신 사용**할 수 있습니다. Mac Mini의 HDMI 출력을 캡처 카드를 통해 iPad로 연결하면 됩니다.

HDMI 캡처 카드를 사용하면 iPad의 트랙패드는 작동하지 않으며, iPad의 키보드도 Mac OS에서 작동하지 않습니다. 따라서 **별도의 키보드가 필요**합니다.

진정한 모바일 환경에서 iPad를 유일한 모니터로 사용하려면 HDMI 캡처 카드와 Orion 앱을 사용하는 것이 좋습니다. Continuity 모드는 Wi-Fi 연결에 의존하기 때문에 **Wi-Fi 연결이 불안정하면 딜레이가 발생**할 수 있습니다.

HDMI 캡처 카드를 사용하면 **게임 콘솔, Steam Deck, Switch, MacBook Pro, Windows PC 등 HDMI 출력이 있는 모든 장치를 iPad의 디스플레이로 사용**할 수 있습니다.
