How to Setup a Wired Connection between Your Apple Device and a Projector

The best way to connect your Apple device to a projector is to use the right adapter cable for the device. Most iOS devices do not come with a standard video port so Apple sells adapters that will ensure easy connection to an adapter. The two options available are Lightning to VGA Adapter and Lightning Digital AV Adapter. The former goes in the Lightning port of newer iOS devices and then connects to typical VGA video cables while the latter connects the device to an HDMI cable.

If your iOS device comes with the older 30-pin Dock Connector, you can also find video cable adapters for your device on the Apple website or on Amazon.

If you own a projector, you already know the type of cable used in your connections and by extension, the type of apple adapters to buy. However, if you are a busy professional that will hold presentations at various places with different models of projectors, it may be best to buy both adapters so you can use VGA or HDMI cables depending on the situation.

Conclusion

Connecting your Apple or Android device to a projector is a straightforward process once you can figure out the capabilities and limitations peculiar to your existing hardware. Work out the chinks, get the right hardware (adapters and cables) or software (apps), and you can take your video files to the big screen. Remember to take steps to avoid embarrassing moments when mirroring your screen in public. Setting up “Do Not Disturb” or similar options on your device before the presentation is all you need. Alternatively, go on “Airplane Mode” when on a wired connection to the projector.
