IPad video out to HDMI mystery

I hope we can shed some light upon this.
I was wondering, what exactly Apple does with the video out feature while the iPad is connected to a 16:9 flatscreen TV via HDMI (digital AV adapter).
What I found out:
The nominal iPad 3 resolution is 2048 x 1536, which does not fit 1080p, so the iPad scales the home screen down to what? No information about it in the iPad specs and the manual
The home screen is appearantly scaled down to 1536 x 1024, while the output is 1920 x 1080 pixels - so the home screen has a black frame
When using Photos app to view photos, the iPad screen is shown 1:1 on TV - still black frame
When using iPhoto app to view/edit photos, the output to TV is different than on iPad display - photos on TV are displayed in full height (if 3:2) and full screen (if 16:9). Unfortunately, the photo on the TV does not zoom
When using Movies app to view 1080p footage, the TV shows 1080p full screen
When using Movies app to view 720p footage, the TV shows 1080p full screen (video is upscaled by iPad)
What I'm ooking for is an app to show photos in 1080p full screen with zoom. I've tried about 5-8 different who are all supposed to do that - but they all failed. There was even one app that acted as a DLNA server so the TV loaded the photo from the iPad and did the decoding/display, but a TV is not designed for this.

*If your Display Preferences are set to Extended Desktop Mode (Mirroring Off) then it is possible to select and have a different Desktop background image for each Display.*
Try this:
*1. Go to: System Preferences and select Displays, then click on the Arrangement tab and look at the box for Mirror Displays, is it checked or unchecked?*
a. If you want the displays to show the same image (Mirroring) then check the box.
b. If you want to use the connected display for viewing different wIndows (Extended Desktop) then uncheck the box and go to step 2.
*2. Go to: System Preferences > Desktop & Screen Savers and click on the Desktop tab.*
a. Now you should see a Preference window on each Display which will allow you to select or change the image on each Display.

Ipad Video Out

Hello, I have a question that I'm hoping someone could solve for me, so here goes:
I currently have an ipad 4. I previously had an ipad 2. When I still had the ipad 2, i had an apple cable that allowed me to do video/audio out (via 30 pin to composite cable) and I was able to stream Netflix and/watch movies that i downloaded through itunes. Now, I realize that the lighting to 30 pin converter does not do video/audio out. I was wondering if A) apple has a cable that does video out for composite connection for the new lighting interface (I'm aware of the apple digital audio/video cable but I've only seen ones for HDMI or VGA, not composite) or B) if buying the apple digital audio/video cable and then buying a converter box to make it into composite would work as well? The bottom line, I'm trying to regain this functionality for my new ipad (to be able to stream Netflix and/or itune movies to a tv that only has a composite input (no HDMI)) and just want to know what my options are.
Any advice/suggestions are appreciated. Thanks.

Right and i believe the only Lighting to Video Cables are the ones that i mentioned- HDMI and VGA but I need composite. So I'm looking for a solution to that.
The only solution I can think of is to buy the Lightning to HDMI and then connect that to a HDMI to Composite converter and then connect that to a TV. But I don't want to buy the converter if it's not going to work with streaming both Netflix and any movies that are purchased from itunes and downloaded to my ipad. This is where I'm looking for help from this community. Thanks.

Video out settings HDMI and Component out run at the same time?

Does anyone know if I can get video out of both the HDMI port and component video connections at the same time. Trying to distribute video throught the house on component, and still get HD on the flat panel in the living room. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Apple says when both HDMI and component are connected, HDMI will take precedence over component. Short answer: no.

IPad video out problem

Dear forum users,
I have an iPad with the latest iOS software update, and I am trying to link it with an ACER K11 pico projector (which they advertise to work with iPad).
I am using the Apple video out vga cable, as well as a compatible app like "keynote".
Unfortunately, all I get is a "no signal" message on the projector. The projector works well with other video sources.
I tried it with my iPhone 4 and got the same result.
Any idea what could be the problem?
Many thanks
Macphi

Just checking: Did you actually run a presentation? You won't get anything on an external display until you actually start a presentation. VGA out is limited to apps that explicitly support it and even then only in some situations (e.g. the Photos app will only display something once you start a slideshow).

BT Vision+ video out to HDMI & Component/Scart

I am coming back to BT after about 2 years putting up with poor BB reliability with TalkTalk and the chance that BT might actually bring Infinity to a village less than 2 miles from a City Centre!
As BT does not allow multiple vision boxes to be used unless you have Infinity and are prepared to pay twice! (it fine and free on TT as long as you have a 2nd box) I am being forced to get a SlingShot/Belkin @TV box to send pictures to another device (Son wants Sky Sports (which he will pay for) in his room).
Can someone please confirm if the latest BT Vision+ box allows output by HDMI and Component (I believe it will have to be via Scart/SPDIF to Component!) at the same time, or will we be forced to get an HDMI splitter with HMDI and Component out?

when i did that, on the final stage (the test) it just goes back to the aspect ratio menu and nothing has happened. Also, i had to carry this out reading the instructions on a screen that couldnt fit in all the text.
Huh! That doesn't sound right at all. Are you sure the picture for the HDMI input you have the Vbox connected to isn't zoomed in any way either on the TV or the Vbox.
Assuming you're starting off with a 16:9 ratio which is good for both SCART and HDMI when you change the aspect ratio on the Vbox. It will perform the test and put 2 selections (Save setting and Don't Save (default)) across the middle of the screen asking to to confirm that you can see the test successfully. If you pick Save setting you should then be using the new aspect ratio. The text on the buttons for the test shouldn't be off the screen unless either the picture is zoomed or you're still using the SCART connection by mistake.

Frozen image with video out to HDMI

I have my iMac connected via an HDMI adaptor through a 10' HDMI cable into a Hi Def TV. It was working well but suddenly froze with an image that happened to be a photo from iPhoto. That image remains whenever the cable is connected into the TV. When the cable is disconnected, the image disappears.
Any suggestions to diagnose this problem will be appreciated.

My samsung says video out from i pad is not supported. i am connecting with apple dock using hdmi. I do get the audio

my samsung says video out from i pad is not supported. i am connecting with apple dock using hdmi. I do get the audio any suggestions?

Jeffrey-
If the HDMI input to the Samsung is not compatible, does it have a VGA or composite input? I have both the HDMI and VGA adapters for the iPad, which work with the small Vizio HDTV I tried. I understand a composite video adapter is also available.

Why does video drop out using hdmi adapter?

Hello, the video and audio from my iPad 2 using the HDMI adapter drops out intermittently (actually quite a bit, like every 30 seconds or so)
when I hook it to my TV. Anyone have any solutions?

Thank you Menneisyys, but the Kanex adapter is a 3rd party dongle that plugs into the hdmi port and splits the audio onto a female 1/8 and the video to VGA (for then connecting to a projector). So I'm (rightly?) assuming it is sufficient quality for the task (unless my particular Kanex is a lemon -- which is really my question: is the problem the Kanex or the Apple TV? I have reinstalled (restored to factory settings) the OS on my ATV but that didn't help :(

Does iPad 3 support 1080p60 HDMI out?

I want to record my iPad app using a capture card and I'm wondering if iPad 3 is able to show my app in 1080p60 through HDMI out.
Any help appreciated. Thanks!

Video mirroring and video out support: Up to 1080p with Apple Digital AV Adapter or Apple VGA Adapter (adapters sold separately)
It doesn't say wether it's 1080p60 (60 frames per second) or 1080p30 (30 frames per second).
Thanks though!

How can I do live streaming with a Mac Book Pro 2011, using a new model of Sony HD camcorder which does not have firewire out/input? it comes only with a component video output, USB, HDMI and composite RCA output?

I need to do live streaming with a Mac Book Pro 2011, using a new model of Sony HD camcorder (http://store.sony.co...ber=HDRAX2000/H) ..this camcorder model does not have firewire out/input ..it comes only with a component video output, USB, HDMI and composite A/V video output..
I wonder how can I plug this camcorder to the firewire port of my laptop? Browsing on internet I found that Grass Valley Company produces this converter http://www.amazon.co...=A17MC6HOH9AVE6 ..but I am not sure -not even after checking the amazon reviews- if this device will send the video signal through firewire to my laptop, in order to live streaming properly? ..anyone in this forum could help me please?
Thanx

I can't broadcast with the built in iSight webcam... how would I zoom in or zoom out? or how would I pan? I've seem people doing it walking with their laptops but that's not an option for me... there's nothing wrong with my USB ports but that's neither an option to stream video because as far as I know through USB you can't connect video in apple operating systems ..you can for sure plug any video cam or photo camera through usb but as a drive to transfer data not as a live video camera... is by firewire an old interface developed by apple that you can connect all sorts of cameras to apple computers... unfortunately my new sony HDR-AX2000 camcorder doesn't have firewire output...
thanx

I need to connect I-Mac G5 to HDMI TV, I think I need this: Video Out: mini-VGA (mirror only) to HDMI, where can I buy? Apple Bluewater no help.

VGA is an analog signal HDMI is digital. A simple cable would not work you would need something that converts the analog signal to digital.
A search of VGA to HDMI turned up a few possibilities but nothing specific. In any case the picture on the TV will not be very good given the source.
You should check to see if the TV has a VGA input. Some TV's have a computer connection port and this is usually VGA.

K1 - HDMI video out issue

Hello,
First post to this forum.
I bought my K1 end of November. I purchased two micro-HDMI cables, and not seeing video out. Briefly saw the picture on screen once or twice, but nothing consistent. Have plugged my K1 into 4 or 5 different HDMI-enabled monitors/TVs, no luck. The cable doesn't seem to sit very securely in the hdmi port. These are definitely micro HDMI cables I purchased from two different sources (not mini-HDMI). They may only have been HDMI 1.3 version cables, but I think they should have worked.
Sent my K1 in for Lenovo service and came back this week. Everything with HDMI checked out according to Lenovo support. I actually just ordered two more "high speed" 3 ft cables from monoprice hoping this solves the issue (version 1.4). I should have the two new cables next week
Has anyone else had issues with HDMI video out? I would like to know from others if the HDMI worked well for them. Don't know what to expect.
Thanks!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

My Micro HDMI to HDMI cable works fine with my K1. I have to watch that my micro HDMI plug is fully into the K1's socket, because my case sometimes is too close to the socket and the plug touches my case preventing the plug to fit all the way into the socket and making connection. Like the case. It's a MoKo from Amazon.com for $20.

Video out from ipad pages??

I can't seem to find any direct information about which apps support video out and which don't. The ipad guide says simply, "apps which support video out" will work with the vga adaptor but nowhere can I find whether pages specifically will do that. Anyone tried it yet?
TIA!

I have not tried Pages...however, I have tried Keynote and it does support Projector or TV output... I'd be very surprised if Pages and Numbers don't...
