Video mirroring iPad 2 + Component AV Cable

Can I use a Component Av Cable to video mirroring my iPad 2?
I have the VGA adapter an it works great for that purpose but I'd like better quality output than just VGA.
Have you tested this combination?
Thanks

Confirmed, the component cable does not support mirroring.
Also I don't know where consumers get it in their heads that VGA is worse then component.
They're both analog connections.
They can both do 1080p (1920x1080 or 1920x1200 (16:10 aspect)), VGA can actually go higher then that.
Some devices will look washed out with VGA, this is NOT the VGA standards fault, but rather that devices implementation. The Xbox 360 for example had this issue originally but it was fixed via a software update.
VGA and Component are definitely on their way out in the consumer space, but they're still widely used in the business world with older data projectors (VGA being most prominent).
As for mirroring, the HDMI and VGA adapters are your best friends with the iPad 2.
I believe the component cable could handle the mirroring, its just something on Apple's end that's preventing it. Perhaps because if you use component on an older non-HDTV it can only do 480i and perhaps that causes issues with the iPad trying to output to that resolution. Just a thought.

    Second purpose is 'to show about ipad2 home screen(background image on application) for my presentation audience'
    Third purpose is 'to see the video'(is not important)
    I know 4kind of cable.
    Apple Digital AV Adapter(HDMI adapter)
    VGA Adapter for ipad Dock(VGA,D-sub adapter)(is it need ipad Dock? I don't have ipad Dock)
    Apple component cable(3video code and 2 audio code)
    Apple composit cable(1video code and 2 audoi code)(Not good at video quality)
    (in korea.. we have many HDTV supporing HDMI... but not projector..
    Be as usual many projector is using component code.(Only NEW monitor or NEW TV have a HDMI code))
    So in my purpose...
    Exactly, ipad2 + component cable are can using mirroring tech?
    If it can not mirroring..
    what kind of cable(or apapter) is the best?

    Only way?
    I know Apple AV adapter is support perfect mirroring.
    but
    VGA adapter is not support (perfact)mirroring?
    I think this is supporting perfect mirroring screen but not audio...

  • Video mirroring of Ipad2 using component cable only displays videos but not home screen

    I watched videos online that show that I should be able to view my ipad2 home screen and apps while I'm video mirroring on my television but I can't see anything (only hear the audio) except when I play videos or watch youtube and use apps that have the TV Out function...Is there anyway to fix it?

    I mean I can only view videos that I play on my TV from my Ipad2 but other than that I can't see my Ipad home screen on TV or any other apps that I open, though I can hear the audio. I'm using a component cable. I thought that I should be able to view my home screen etc with the cable?

  • Is there any way to extend the length of the Apple component AV cable for the original iPad?

    I have an original iPad, but the component video cable is too short to really do any good. Can it somehow be extended. It would really be useful if there was an adapter for the 30-pin connector that goes into the iPad itself so that one wire could extend the AV cable another 10-15 feet. I know of no such adapter. Is there one out there?
    My goal is to stream YouTube videos from my iPad to my Samsung HDTV. I guess I could buy an Apple TV and do it wirelessly through my Airport Expresses.
    Anyway, I would appreciate some advice from anybody who has tried to accomplish the same or similar things.

    Have you been able to get this cable to work on your iPad? I just went out and bought this cable so I could stream YouTube, Netflix and my other video on my iPad and the component cable wasn't working. I went back to my Apple store and replaced it with the composite video cable and everything works fine. I do not think that the component cable works with the original iPad because its output is not HD. Anyhow, you should be able to buy extender type cables at any Radio Shack, or any audio/video retailer. Look in the cables section. keep in mind you'll need both Audio cable and component video cable extended cables to increase the distance you are using these at. Keep in mind, also, that the iPad is basically useless while playing video. You can't multitask while watching the video because,depending on what apps you have that do video mirroring, you'll end up leaving the video and whatever app you're working in will show up on your TV screen. When I watch video I just leave my iPad close by the TV and walk up to it to play or pause video. Can't use it for anything else while the movie is playing, anyway. ;)

  • IPad 1 HDMI video mirroring audio

    Hi All,
    I'm trying to figure out if it's possible to mirror video with the HDMI AV cable available for the ipad 2.
    For a coming conference I made a workflow for the iPad 2 but now it seems the iPad 2 won't be available on that day.
    So is it possible to replace it with an iPad 1? I only need to show some video's but I have to be sure that the audio is coming along through the HDMI.
    Thanks in advance!
    regards

    DVI does not transmit audio. You need a separate audio cable plugged into the speaker/headphone port.

    ...Here you can see "TV OUT", where it says "widescreen" make sure is ON.
    I have my iPad Video set to "widescreen", but it didn't make a difference when I briefly tried it with a HDMI connection from my iPad2 to my Samsung TV.  The video was letterboxed as was the iPad homepage when it was displayed on my big TV. 
    I didn't try a streaming video so I don't know if that would be letterboxed or not.  I do have a movie on my iPad and I'll give it a try (perhaps tomorrow).  If it isn't letterboxed, I'll post it here.
    Overall (at least via HDMI), I was very unimpressed with the process.  The picture seemed washed out and the resolution certainly suffered.  I don't remember what my test video was, but the results were what one would expect with a SD signal.  At this moment I don't see any serious usage of this process for me.

  • Trying to stream Amazon Prime Free videos from Ipad via Mirroring to Apple TV

    Trying to stream Amazon Prime Free videos from Ipad via Mirroring to Apple TV.  Trailer plays fine. Real Movie plays audio only. Some error messahe that HD video can't be played over HDMI cable.  I telling ya that 25 foot VGA cable is looking better and better.  Apple TV tech the differrence had to be done at  the time of encoding

    Amazon blocks Airplay in encoding the movie. It's not the HDMI cable, or AppleTV for that matter.

    Hi there,
    I am assuming you have an ipod nano 6th gen (the small one with a touch screen)
    unfortunately, the ipod nano 6 gen can not play videos whatsoever unless you hack it so even with a cable it does not work.
    I hope this helps cus im new

  • How to turn on video on ipad to see the show on tv using av cable

    I purchased the iPad AV composite cable.  The sound is coming through but there is no picture.  The instruction manual says to make sure that video is turned on on the iPad so that the video will come through.  However, it does not say where to find the video settings.

    If you have setup home sharing on the Mac and you are sure that you did it correctly - on the iPad go to Settings>Music>Home Sharing and sign into your Apple ID. Then go to the Music app (iPod app was in earlier iOS) and tap the More button at the bottom and you should see "Shared" and an option. Tap that to share the iTunes library on the Mac.
    You setup home sharing for videos the same way. Settings>Videos>Home SharingA>Apple ID.
    iTunes must be running on the Mac if you want to home share.

  • Video mirror not on iPad 1

    I update to OS 4.3 last night and it all worked fine... Except that I was hoping that video mirroring would also work via de VGA adaptor, and it doesn't seem to be so....???

    Personally I'm a little disappointed in Apple that after shelling out nearly £700 for an iPad less than 12 months ago, it is already obsolete. In the past they have been pretty good at rewarding early adopters with the latest features - and I was particularly looking forward to the video mirroring. Not impressed!!
