Apple lightning digital av adapter cable vs apple tv?

?

If you are trying to decide between the two here is some input.
The Apple TV is easy to use with the iPad since the connection is wireless. Moreover, the Apple TV provides a lot of functionality on its own. Since the Apple TV cost is $99 which is not that much more than the $49 Digital AV Adapter I'd recommend just getting the Apple TV.

  • HT4108 Will Apple make Lightning Component AV Adapter cable?

    I'm currently using a high tech Vaistech ML+ device which does not support HDMI so I cannot use the Lightning Digital AV Adapter cable.

    This is not a support question. This is an Apple Support forum.

    How can I connect my Ipad Air to my PC to see the Ipad screen on the PC?
    I have connected them via the Ipad to a LIGHTNING DIGITAL AV ADAPTER-ZML connected to a APPLE HDMI TO HDMI CABLE (1.8 M)-ZML, and to the HDMI port on the PC. But now I don't know how to show the Ipad screen on the PC, as if it was a monitor / screen, so that I can then use Lync and share my PC screen with people virtually.
    Thanks for any help! Regards

    Hi Rob - thanks so much for your help!  Could you tell me what "air sever or reflector apps." are? and where can I look for information about them?
    Do you use them on the Ipad or on the PC?
    Do I need a cable too and which one?
    Sorry... I am not very technical as you can see, thanks for your help.

  • HT4108 I bought 2 Apple Digital AV Adapters "HDMI" (30 pin Digital TV Adapter "for IPad 2" - Lightning Digital AV Adapter "for IPad mini") three days ago.

    Apple Crew ,
    I bought 2 Apple Digital AV Adapters “HDMI” (30 pin Digital TV Adapter "for IPad 2" - Lightning Digital AV Adapter "for IPad mini") three days ago.
    I’ve used my iPad 2 to connect with Samsung Smart TV via 30 pin Digital AV Adapter “HDMI”,
    The iPad 2 instantly connect to the television, but the problem is that the TV displayed screen (mirror) isn't full screen. I tried with every setting on my iPad and also on the television but still no luck and the screen still appear in small size.
    I’ve used my iPad mini to connect with Samsung Smart TV via Lightning Digital AV Adapter “HDMI”,
    but also the same problem
    I tried connecting with other televisions but the same result
    It only works with iPhone with Full Screen!!!!!
    I need to solve this issue as I paid almost 95 $ and for the first time I didn’t get the service I need from apple!! (Which I didn’t expect)

  • Pioneer AVH-X3600DAB and Apple lightning to VGA adapter.

    Hi I have a Pioneer AVH-X3600DAB and all the relevant cables to connect my iPhone 5 including an Apple lightning to VGA adapter.Why is the Pioneer telling me the "USB is not Compatable"?

    Hi gilespharrison
    You need to set the ipod mode from iPod Via Usb to iPod via Bluetooth.
    To do this you need to do the following.
    Turn off bluetooth on your device.
    Disconnect all the cables to the device.
    Go into the settings on the X3600DAB then scroll down till you see the iPod connection mode click on the iPod via usb then on the next page do the same thing again it should now change to iPod via Bluetooth.
    Just a FYI regarding App radio it doesnt work very well at all very buggy I think you might have better luck with and android device and the Mirror box.
    Good Luck.
    Let me know if you end up getting Pandora to work correctly.

  • Is the Apple Digital AV Adapter  and the Apple VGA Adapter the same thing

    is the Apple Digital AV Adapter  and the Apple VGA Adapter the same thing i want to get a ipad and i want to no if there the same thing before i buy it i would want it for the web for pic but for videos too

    VGA is an analog signal, while HDMI is an uncompressed digital image. 
    The uncompressed digital image is more superior.

  • Lightning Digital AV Adapter output 5.1 sound problem

    Dear all,
    I tried search over web and could not find the actual answer for my issue with Lightning Digital AV Adapter
    I bought Lightning Digital AV Adapter that wanted to output movie (with AC3, AAC track ) to my LCD TV via Yamaha Sound Bar YSP 2500.
    But I could not get the 5.1 AC3 sound pass through from my iPhone 6 or iPad Air to Yamaha Sound Bar YSP 2500. It did not detect any 5.1 sound.
    If anyone know Lightning Digital AV Adapter having hardware limitation to output or pass through 5.1 AC3 . Hope to find some answer in this forum. Thanks.

    Would the Lightning Digital AV Adapter work with running it into a HDMI to Component converter like the ones below?

    Hello abnaji1984,
    It sounds like you are able to see the video from your phone on your TV but cannot hear the audio from the phone on your TV. This is expected behaviour, and in the article that you used it shows that the iPod Touch only support video mirroring with the lightning AV adapter:

    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    All the best,

  • Can you mirror iphone 4 to macbook pro using 30-pin digital av adapter?

    I have an iPhone 4 and I want to be able to mirror my device onto my Macbook Pro, without using the internet. So for example if I was not in a location that had internet, I would still be able to do so. I purchased the 30-pin Digital AV Adapter online only to test it and not get anything on my screen but have iTunes open. Is this because I have an iPhone 4, would this accessory with with an iPhone 4S, or get the lightning adapater to work with the iPhone 5. Does anyone else know of other options that do not involve using internet.

    I use the 30 Pin Av Adapter from Apple, and it works on my iPad 2 running iOS 6.1.3. So not sure what those reviews would be talking about.
    Just to be sure there's no confusion: there's a difference between the 30 Pin Digital AV Adapter
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/MD098ZM/A/apple-digital-av-adapter
    And the 30 Pin to Lightning Adapter
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/MD823ZM/A/lightning-to-30-pin-adapter
    The 30 pin to Lightning in fact does not support Video output, but if you have a newer iPad. (4 or a Mini) you can use a Lightning Digital Av Adapter
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/MD826ZM/A/lightning-digital-av-adapter
    For older iPads the 30 Pin Digital Av Adapter works just fine, in all iOS versions I've tried it on.  In fact I can use it on a first generation iPad running iOS 4.3.3 to view movies from the Videos App just fine.
    All of these will require an HDMi cable and a TV with an HDMI input.  Most recent TV's have this. 
    The Apple TV will connect to an iPad wirelessly, but is also double the price of the adapters, and still requires the HDMI cable and port on the TV to connect to.
    I'd suggest the adapter that fits your iPad over the Apple TV unless you really need to have the connection be wireless from the iPad to the Apple Tv box.
    For Apps that don't have Video Output, the only eay to view the is to Mirror the iPads screen, and for that you need an iPad 2 or newer. As the First Generation iPad  cannot do this.

  • Cheapo alternative to Apple Lightning to USB Camera Adapter for audio interface?

    I am getting an audio interface (Steinberg UR44) which can be controlled with an iPad via the Apple Lightning USB Camera Adapter and a standard USB printer cable (Type A male  to type B male), but I am too cheap to buy the ridiculously overpriced Apple adapter, so I am wondering if the following will work instead:
    iPad --> Apple lighting male to USB Type A male cable (the standard charging cable) --> USB Type A female to Type B male adapter --> Audio Interface
    Other adapters are available for USB Type A female to Type B micro or mini male, so the same kind of arrangement might work for cameras.
    The adapters are five bucks or less vs. thirty for the RIDICULOUSLY OVERPRICED (yes, I know, I already said that) Apple adapter.
    I am thinking this is a better way to go than a cheap unlicensed knockoff lightning adapter, because the critical part of the connection (the lightning plug and electronics) would still be made by Apple.
    Has anyone tried the above with either an audio interface or camera?

    Because it was designed for use with the iPad. Apple makes no claim that it will work with an iPhone.

  • Troubleshooting With Apple HDMI & Apple Digital AV Adapter

    I am troubleshooting with the apple HDMI, I just bought the 'Apple Digital AV Adapter' and the 'Apple HDMI' but when plug the AV adapter into my iPad I get a blank screen on the tv. But I am getting sound from the iPad on the tv. Any thoughts?

    AV connector with iPad 3 does not work with iOS 7.  Tried with 3 adapters and 3 iPads and all had same problem. Although iPad does display on TV, the iPad touch screen does not respond to touch. Cannot unlock with adapter connected, and cannot run apps.  Unresponsive touch screen is wiggy at best.  When I unplug the adapter, the iPad functions normally.
    Completely ruined my presentation today. 

  • Inputting audio/video into my macbook pro? with Apple DVI to Video Adapter?

    I work with video, and am trying to save my minidv cam's life. is there a more direct way to input directly from a vcr/television into my macbook pro? because right now i'm having to input from my vcr/television into my minidv then into my macbook through firewire.
    i was considering the Apple DVI to Video Adapter ( http://store.apple.com/1-800-MY-APPLE/WebObjects/AppleStore.woa/wa/RSLID?mco=724 17D66&fnode=home/shopmac/macaccessories/cables&nplm=M9267G/A#overview )
    but i'm fairly certain that this is output-only. does anyone know if there is a way to input through it as well, or anything that works similarly?

    I thought that cables and adapters worked the same going either direction. I believed that the only concern was the male or female end points on them. Not sure anymore though

  • Can I use the Apple ADC to DVI adapter with a VGA monitor?

    Hey everybody,
    I have a quick question. I work on computers fr friends and family as a hobby. I have an ADC monitor and need ot be able to hook up computers with a VGA port on them to it. Can I use the Apple ADC to DVI adapter along with an Apple DVI to VGA adapter to successfully connect VGA computers to my ADC display? I was assuming this would work and ordered both adapters but now I have made myself nervous about weather or not this will actually work. Has anybody out there successfully done this? Thanks for your help in advance everybody.

    You can't run an ADC display with a VGA computer without a converter. Adapters won't do it.
    a VGA to ADC converter will drive the ADC display directly
    <http://www.gefen.com/kvm/product.jsp?prod_id=1301>
    If you have the Apple DVI to ADC adapter
    <http://store.apple.com/1-800-MY-APPLE/WebObjects/AppleStore.woa/wa/RSLID?mco=18 72D402&nplm=M8661LL/B>
    you could use it with a VGA to DVI converter
    <http://www.gefen.com/kvm/product.jsp?prod_id=1310>
    It might be cheaper to get DVI graphics boards for the computers and use the Apple DVI to ADC adapter.
    <http://store.apple.com/1-800-MY-APPLE/WebObjects/AppleStore.woa/wa/RSLID?mco=18 72D402&nplm=M8661LL/B>
    Your title says "Can I use the Apple ADC to DVI adapter with a VGA monitor?". If you want to connect a VGA monitor to a computer's ADC port you need the ADC to VGA adapter
    <http://www.gefen.com/kvm/product.jsp?prod_id=1299> You can't use an ADC to DVI adapter followed by a DVI to VGA adapter, because the ADC to DVI adapter doesn't pass the analog video signals needed for VGA.
