Kind of pricey for a app but this should work with your Ipad. You will need the proper cables.

Duet Display on the App Store

This only works on Macs and PC's at the moment

.
Needs software on the Mac/PC to send the signal to the iPad and the app on the iPad to receive it.

You could run out to a black magic capture device then into a lap top.

I want to use either an ipad or sony tablet as a larger 2nd display.

The problem being the st16 outputs through hdmi which is fine if you are flying in your lounge and want to connect to the tv!

I have trawled through goodle search but i am struggeling to find anyway to provide a wired connection.

A dedicated 10" battery powered HD field monitor with hdmi input is around £300 which seems a daft option when i have two tablets avalible!

Anyone with any ideas?

I'm not aware of any tablet that has HDMI input. As others have noted, the camera is available on WiFi so you can connect using the CGO3 App - the distance comes down to how good the wifi reception is on your tablet. On the other hand a 10" screen is around £50-60 on ebay (look for car headrest screens) if you can arrange a 12v supply:

So, to use a HD monitor with HDMI input, you simply connect a HDMI cable from the ST16 to the monitor? Are there other settings or apps required?
