Could you build this?
Partial A basic Mac-to-iPad remote viewer is buildable, but a 120fps Retina stream with low latency, direct peer-to-peer connections, and strong encryption requires specialized video pipeline and networking work.
What it would actually take: The stack would use ScreenCaptureKit on macOS with hardware HEVC or H.264 encoding via VideoToolbox, a low-latency transport (QUIC or UDP) with NAT traversal and STUN/TURN fallback, and Secure Enclave key handling on both ends. The hard parts are achieving 120fps latency targets, input forwarding, and correct end-to-end crypto. This takes engineers with media-streaming and networking experience.
