iPad adapter for the projector

There are various adapters to connect your iPad to a projector. Which one you use depends on the connection options of the projector. Therefore, first check whether it has an HDMI connection. If not, only the AV cable and VGA adapter can be used.

• In order to have as little loss of quality as possible, the Apple Digital AV adapter is recommended. With the content can be played up to 1080p. The adapter currently costs 39 euros. If you have one of the new iPad models with a Lightning connector, you need this adapter, which is a little more expensive at 49 euros.
• If your projector only has a VGA connection or if the HDMI connection is otherwise occupied, you can connect your iPad to a VGA adapter. You can get it from Apple for 29 euros. For iPad models with a Lightning connector, 49 euros will be charged.
• There is also an adapter for projectors with a composite video connection. In addition, a USB plug is included, with which you can connect the cable to a power source. The Apple AV cable is currently available for 39.00 euros.
