Z CAM IPMAN Gemini Overview
Leverage the power of your Android device for monitoring and camera control of select cameras, or convert your camera's HDMI output to USB for easy ingestion into your Mac or Windows computer with the IPMAN Gemini HDMI to USB converter from Z CAM. Not just a basic HDMI to USB video converter, the IPMAN Gemini supports HDMI signals up to 4K30, as well as 1080p60 and 720p60, converting them to 1080p30 for output over a USB Type-C port. Connect the converter's output to your computer, which recognizes the device as a USB camera, for plug-and-play connectivity with no drivers to install on macOS or Windows.
Connect the converter's USB Type-C output to an Android device to use it as a multifunction monitor including display of video and control of camera functions when connected to your camera (requires an optional cable). Output to an Android device and you can power the converter from the Android device, or use PD 3.0 charging to recharge your connected Android device. The included camera mount and smartphone holder enable attaching a smartphone to your camera's cold shoe.
Note:
Camera control via USB requires you to use a camera that supports camera USB with PTP.
