Record the Event Presentation directly to a HDMI recorder. Many are available some with screens that can double as a preview monitor.

Additionally, USB C Hubs, portable monitors, microphones, keyboards, mice, can all be used with DirectorStudio. As the iPad continues to mature as a laptop replacement new and exciting possibilities will help DirectorStudio to increase in power and flexibility.
