   They mentioned their existing controller support. Did they say anything about the new USB-C port’s video output support? Will latency be better than video out over Lightning?

     @EricZhang456 Most tracking devices have the hardware required to output video, alas the proprietary software won't allow that, or the USB-C port isn't wired up correctly to allow for HDMI or DisplayPort over USB-C.

     @mike I don't think most phones can output video

     @benis Yes, note the part where I noted: "or the USB-C port isn't wired up correctly".
     
     Signal integrity over flex cables isn't that great, but they will carry a 1080p DisplayPort signal just fine.

     factually inaccurate, the USB C ports on most phones are connected to their motherboards via flex cables (cables are hardware) that only have enough conductors to enable USB 2 mode connections
