Switch iPad mini to PAL output through Lightning HDMI?

Hi, I want to use my iPad mini as a source to play my own backing footage into a TV studio. I'm using Apple's lighting to HDMI converter. When I hook it up to the Blackmagic TV studio it only works if I set the frame rate on the Studio  to 720p at 59.97 which I think is NTSC? As our cameras are all PAL they only output 25p or 50p so we can't use the iPad as an input. There used to be a way in the old IOS to choose between NTSC and PAL but that has gone in IOS 7, even with the adaptor connected. ANyone got any ideas on this, and suggestions gratefully accepted, thanks.

You can do what you want with the iPad mini. You will probably need some of the lightning cable adapters to connect to whatever equipment you are using.

  • IPad mini won't charge with Lightning charge cord

    I just bought my iPad mini and the charge cord had not responded to the many suggested recommendations that I have read through on these forums.  I have treid using the 10w AC adapter, I have tried plugging it into my computer, I have tried swapping a few 5w AC adapters out, and I have also tried resetting it.  To no avail, the iPad mini now has a 0% charge and will not respond to anything except for the reset prompts the plug arrow charge with a flashing low red/black battery.  Anyone out there getting the same issues?  Anything else that I haven't tried already?  Thanks.

    Anyone out there getting the same issues?
    You seem to have come across others while trying "many suggested recommendations"?
    In reference to the exact same issues that I have experienced, I have not seen an identical post.  Many of the issues I have mentioned have been solved using interchangable solutions.  I guess I could correct my post as to say "issue".  I apologize for my incorrect grammar.

  • Restoring ipad mini - stops half way through without error.

    I have been searching around for answeres, but I havent found anything similar.
    My ipad mini arrived from apple just a few days ago. I wasn´t able to connect to itunes, so I decided to try to restore it, in hope of making it easier to connect to itunes. I followed the procedure i found here and everything worked fine until I started to restore it i itunes. Itunes detected my ipad and told me I had to restore it. I started to restore and the software was successfully downloaded as the first step in itunes. After downloading it started to install the software to the ipad. After installing about 60% of it, it wont go further. It stops and stays frozen without continuing. There are no ERROR messages or anyting suggesting something is wrong. The same happens when I try the same procedure again.
    I have tried to delete the software file in the "itunes folder" and download a new verson, still it doesn´t work. All software is updated and the macbook has been restarted.
    I have been in contact with apple, but the people I have spoken to haven´t experienced this problem before. I hope you can help me. 

    You are going to have to keep trying. Thats all there is. If not you are going to have to drive to apple and get a new one. Yours should have a warrenty.

  • ICal on iPad mini crashing as swipe through February 2013

    As I swipe forward in iCal and try to get past mid/end February 2013 the app crashes. It's been like this since I bought the iPad mini. Anyone else having the same problem? ICal works fine on my MacBook Pro with Mountain Lion and also on my iPhone that runs same OS as the iPad.

    I can't find how to delete my Q but the answer I have now discovered was to delete an all day entry on 1st April from one of my synced calendars. I think it has something to do with summer time ending somewhere the day before and the entry on 1st being all day by reference to times (I.e. 0001 to 2359). I have other entries that day inclu all day entries that simply tick the all day box instead of inserting a time and they do not appear to cause iCal to crash. 
    Seems this problem has been around since last year and no one has fixed it.
    Good luck!

  • Can you connect an iPad mini to an iPhone through Bluetooth to use the internet on the iPad? Thanks!

    I used to connect my iPod touch to my former phone, a Nokia, via bluetooth and it allowed the iPod to connect to the internet.
    Is it possible to do this with a non- cellular iPad Mini and an iPhone?
    Thank you

    Yes you should be able to or by wifi, here is the information about the iPhone hotspot if you need more information http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4517

  • No choice of sound output with lightning HDMI adapter connected.

    When the lightning HDMI adapter is plugged in, sound is piped through HDMI but I want the option to have the sound come through the iPad speaker, because the mini projector I use has only a 1 Watt speaker built-in, and the iPad sound is louder.  Anyone figure out how to choose speaker output?

    I don't believe that is possible.
    Does the projector have an audio output jack to connect powered speakers?

  • TS4113 Mac mini looses audio output through HDMI after being in 'sleep mode'

    Since a month or so, my Mac mini is unable to send audio through HDMI output after being in 'sleep mode'.
    Recently this was no problem, but now I cannot hear anything after unsleeping (unless I reboot fully).
    Please help.

    This is not just a Mac Mini problem.  I've found comments from people with all kinds of Mac, with any kind of external sound device, who all have this same issue.
    The common factor is Mountain Lion.
    Apparently there is a new build (12F42) which is supposed to fix this.
    http://www.gadgetguide4u.com/new-os-x-1085-build-number-12f42.html
    Apple released it to their employees on the 25th Sept.
    Here's hoping that build is available for the rest of us soon ...

  • HT1386 iPad Mini not syncing - Goes through steps 1-5 and does not add content

    I am absolutly baffled by this one. I cannot seem to get iTunes to sync any conent over.
    -The iPad is set up for syncing over the cable as Wifi sync is very buggy
    -I've tried different USB ports
    -i've restarted iTunes
    -Restarted the iPad
    -checked and unchecked the content
    It is very odd. When I want to add music it the bar at the bottom indicated that this is how much it will fill up on the iPad etc etc. I click on sync and then it goes through it's various steps to determine tracks and then nothing.....
    It just simply does not sync anything over even though there is 8GB of free space and plenty of room on the ipad so I know it is not a capcity issue. Any help would be great. Usually a long serving mac user would find a solution but in this case I am puzzeled.

    Solved the problem, by upgrading to Mountain Lion.

  • MY IPAD MINI IS NOT DETECTING GENUINE APPLE LIGHTNING CABLES

    Can someone help me with my ipad mini not detecting any genuine lightning cables?
    if I charge using the genuine cable, no sign would appear that the ipad has detected a charger. I tested it on 3 lightning cables that worked on other ipads but not on mine. but if i use my after market cable(non-genuine) it will detect but will say "the cable or accessory is not certified and may not work... " I understand that apple is blocking uncertified cables. my ipad can only be charged if i turn it off.
    IOS version: 7.1.2

    Have you tried a soft-reset to see if it charges after the iPad has restarted ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • Using an iPad Mini with an HDMI connected projector

    I use an iPad Mini with a projector during the seminars I present and have run into a stumbling block with regard to audio output. I am using the Apple Lightning to HDMI adapter with my LCD projector (flawlessly) and the audio from my iPad goes to the projector through the HDMI cable as well. My problem is I would like to use external speakers instead of the one built into the projector. I have tried the headphone jack of the iPad, no luck. I have tried bluetooth connected speakers for the iPad, again it won't work. Has anyone discovered a way to separate the video and audio from an HDMI output to be able to use external speakers? My guess is that the HDMI "assumes" you are using a television (with built in speakers) and not a projector (which has no provision for audio out).

    Is this the adapter you are using?
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/MD826ZM/A/lightning-digital-av-adapter?fnode=3 a
    If it is, then you have next to the HDMI socket also a Lightning socket to which you could connect any audio system with a Lightning connector.
    You may have a larger choice of audio systems for the old 30-pin connector, but then there is this solution:

  • HT4101 When connecting my camera to my IPad mini via lightniing to usb camera adapter,I get "The attached accessory uses too much power" .Any solutions?

    When I connect my Ipad mini to my camera via lightning to usb camera adapter all i get is a message "The attached accessory uses too much power."Any solutions

    It depends on the camera, but some have a special mode for offloading photos but not trying to charge the camera through the USB port. For others, you may have to pull out the SD card (if that's what it uses) and use the Lightning to SD card reader instead.
    Maybe if you told us what camera you are connecting, somebody here with the same model can give you more specific information.

  • What do I need to use my "IPAD MINI" on a TV without HDMI?

    Hi all,
    I hope you guys can help as Apple Support on the phone and in store were useless!!!!
    Dilemma
    I had an IPAD 2 and brought the Apple AV composite lead (http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC748ZM/A/apple-composite-av-cable) so I could watch my IPAD 2 onto my TV.
    Now I have upgraded to an IPAD MINI. this has the new lightning adapter, so I was looking to purchase from Apple their Lightning to 30-pin adapter (http://store.apple.com/us/product/MD823ZM/A/lightning-to-30-pin-adapter?fnode=45) so I could reuse my AV composite lead into my TV. And this is where the problems start.....
    1. The Lightning to 30-pin adapter does not support "video"!
    2. My TV does not have an HDMI, so rules out Apple TV, etc
    3. Apple do not do a Lightning AV composite lead and are unlikely to produce one apparently (as there is not the demand)
    My restrictions are as follows;
    1. My TV has scart and AV connections only (but no HDMI)
    2. I need to have audio and video supported (for photos / videos and sound)
    3. I can't afford to buy a new TV... by the way that was the Apple solution, then buy an Apple TV.... they are on a different planet..... lol :-)
    Any help, pointers in the UK where I can buy a lead elsewhere would be great or any decent solutions (and they wouldn't have to be great to beat Apples thus far!).... thanks community!

    I haven't found any Lightning-to-Composite Video adapter anywhere. You'll probably need the Lightning Digital AV adapter and then an HDMI to composite video converter, as suggested in Patrick's response in this thread:
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4351799?start=0&tstart=0
    I've found that suggestion echoed in other places, so that may be your only option.
    Regards.

  • IPad mini with 30 pin HDMI adapter

    Hi,
    I have iPad mini and "lightning to 30 pin converter". I want to buy 30 pin HDMI Adapter (for iPad 2). I want to know that if I connect that 30 pin HDMI adapter to my iPad mini with the help of "lightning to 30 pin converter", will it work on my device?
    Thanks in advance...

    Cleaning the docking port didn't help. My other accessories still work.

  • Ipad mini for apple employees?

    Does anyone know when the ipad mini will be available through the apple store employee purchase program?

    unfortunately on the internet people tend to give you these rude or patronising answers if they don't like your question, you just have to sort of ignore them
    to answer your question in a more friendly way my guess is they are probably not interested in giving discounts at the moment because they are still instantly selling out their stocks for full price.
    what i mean is from a business point of view they probably don't want to deny the full price payers an ipad and sell it for discount instead. maybe in a few weeks when the supply catches up they will include it in the program
    i hope this helps
