Use iOS Video Effects with a Clean HDMI Camera App

HDMI Cam works with system-level iOS video effects instead of adding heavy in-app filters.

Where the effects come from

Portrait, Studio Light, and Voice Isolation are iOS system features. HDMI Cam keeps the camera output clean and lets iOS provide supported effects.

Run HDMI Cam, open Control Center, tap Video Effects, and enable the effects your device supports.

Portrait can soften the background for face camera workflows. Studio Light can help in dim rooms. Voice Isolation can help meetings and teaching.

Availability depends on iPhone model, iOS version, and active camera mode.

Support

Are these built-in filters?

No. They are iOS system video effects.

Why do I not see every option?

Some effects only appear on supported devices and supported camera modes.
