How to record USB Type-C devices with ClonerAlliance UHD Halo¶
The ClonerAlliance UHD Halo supports recording screens from USB Type-C devices such as smartphones and tablets via a single Type-C cable. This guide walks you through the complete setup and recording process.
Connection Steps¶
Connect your USB Type-C device (phone or tablet) to the Type-C IN port on the UHD Halo using a Type-C cable.
The top LED turns blue, confirming that a DisplayPort signal has been detected from your device.
The device screen content appears on the connected TV or monitor via HDMI passthrough.
Insert a USB storage device or TF card into the UHD Halo.
Press REC to start recording.
Device-Specific Notes¶
Android Devices
Android phones and tablets must have Desktop Mode (also called DP Mode or DeX on Samsung) enabled before connecting to the UHD Halo.
Once Desktop Mode is active, the screen content will automatically mirror to the TV.
iPhone / iPad
No additional settings are required on iPhone or iPad. Simply connect via Type-C and the screen content will appear on the TV.
Simultaneous Charging¶
The UHD Halo provides up to 65W Power Delivery (PD) charging through the same Type-C cable used for video output. This means your phone or tablet can charge while being recorded, enabling long uninterrupted recording sessions.
Recording Specifications¶
Maximum recording resolution: 4K@60fps
The UHD Halo automatically adjusts to match the output resolution of your connected device.
If your device outputs a lower resolution (e.g., 1080p), the recording will match that resolution.
Use Cases¶
Mobile game recording — Capture gameplay from phones or tablets in high quality.
Phone screen tutorials — Record step-by-step guides directly from your device screen.
