Installation Guide when using a Hyperdrive adapter

Here are instructions on how we recommend connecting Singa using a Hyperdrive adapter. We recommend using a Hyperdrive adapter if your iPad has a USB-C port.

Requirements:

  • An iPad and the Singa Pro App. We recommend an Apple iPad 6th generation or newer.
    • Between the 6th and the 9th generation, iPads came with the standard Lightning charging port port. Please check the steps for installing iPads with an audio jack on this page.
    • iPads sporting a USB-C port can use the HyperDrive adapter recommended in this article.
  • A Hyperdrive USB-C adapter
    • Be mindful of the HyperDrive model you purchase. You will need one with at least a charging port, HDMI port and a 3.5 mm audio jack
  • Screen(s)
  • Two speakers
  • Mixer: multiple options - simple 4-channel analogue mixers to digital mixer options.
  • Two or more wired or wireless microphones
    • Wired benefit: less risk for positive feedback loop.
    • Wireless benefit: a better experience for the singers
  • Various cables (like RCA and HDMI cable)

Please note! The length of an HDMI cable can affect the quality of the transmitted signal. Signal losses can occur with distances over 10 meters/35 ft, which can cause degradation of image or sound quality. HDMI repeaters and extenders can strengthen the HDMI signal for longer distances. For professional longer-distance installations, we recommend you to contact your local professional AV company and use, for example, active HDMI fibre or CAT cables.
