Host software compatibility
USB video class devices are supported when the Android device supports USB OTG (pretty much all devices with USB-C). However, few apps support the video format of the GB Interceptor.
| Software | Status | Note |
|---|---|---|
| nExt Camera - USB (pl.nextcamera) | ✔️ | |
| USB Camera (com.shenyaocn.android.usbcamera) | ✔️ | |
| USB Camera Viewer (com.homesoft.usb.camera) | ❌ | Works, but introduces some unexpected colors. |
| USB OTG camera, Endoscope app (net.usb.usby) | ✔️ | Working since firmware 1.2.0 |
There is no general support for the USB video class on iOS. The lightning port cannot even provide power to the GB Interceptor. However, USB-C iPads support the Interceptor since iPadOS 17, so there is hope that with the rise of USB-C iPhones this feature will eventually become available. At the time of writing, the API for external cameras explicitly only mentions iPads, though.
External webcams are supported since iPadOS 17 on iPads with USB-C port. The following have been tested on an iPad Pro.

| Genki Studio | ✔️ | Automatically runs in 60fps without issues. |
| HDMI monitor Orion | ✔️ | Automatically runs in 60fps without issues. |
It seems like every single software is happy to accept the GB Interceptor. Of course, glitches can be expected in some cases when the software did not expect a 160x144 resolution.
