Using Cerise with an iPad

Diagram: one USB cable between the iPad and Cerise for data and power, or the included splitter so the iPad charges at the same time

Cerise can be directly powered by an iPad or any computer you plug it into. Optionally you can use the included splitter to both charge your iPad and use Cerise.

Cerise can work with a Lightning iPad using a separate Lightning-to-USB adapter, such as Apple's Lightning to USB 3 Camera Adapter. The adapter requires external power to work. This setup can be unreliable, especially on older iPads, and is not recommended for production use; prefer a USB-C iPad where possible.
