Apple Digital AV adapter

With the Apple smart protection ($ accordance$ 69, 4-star) accumulate most of the attention in the area of 2 accessories IOS is easy to forget about the Apple Digital AV adapter ($ 39 direct). It is a pity, because there is a another simple accessories, some to solve problems and creates new opportunities, your iPad 2 ($ 499-829, 4.5 star) use. Note that I said "IOS 2." While the Digital AV adapter compatible with the original iPad, iPhone 4 ($ 199-$ 299, is a 4.5 star) and the latest iPod touch ($ 229-$ 399, 5 stars), mirror it on your TV as for their home screens IOS 2, and shows only the playback of videos and photos. Still, there is something useful for the other devices, and for the iPad 2, it is a great tool. The price might might a bit high for what essentially is a special cable, but there is nothing else out there, that without a complicated setup, $40 seems fair.

Design

The white adapter it slightly thicker than the sync cable to the docking point is about 4.2 inches in length and, at about 0.3 inches thick, measures. An end has a HDMI output in addition to an other 30-pin connector, which is attached to your charge/sync cable connector to the iPad 30-pin connector and the other end. Set is mindlessly easy - the charger and the HDMI cable and your IOS simple to plug in and you are ready. (At the risk of the obvious, should be connected the other end of the HDMI cable to your HDTV or monitor.)

An interesting note: at times, when I unplugged the synchronization cable, iPad video then search mirror image from the TV, which would for an input signal and come with empty hands would disappear. So while the 30-pin connector to the HDMI output as a cell phone connection to keep your iPad calculated while you glide through presentations on the TV can be marketed, it seems a bit more necessary. This problem occurred regardless of which only a few times. Oddly enough, it seemed with the IOS remaining battery life, have little to do, as it most of the time almost has completely loaded.

If you plan to keep the IOS 2 while playing a game or presentations, you're going to want to be not cable charge sitting or standing close since the iPad an outlet terribly long. I would also recommend the use of the adapter with a long HDMI cable - the more slack you have, that IOS, manipulate that less is graceful if the Digital AV adapter on it is connected is the easier.

Performance

1080P is the Digital AV adapter reflections from your desktop, but when you play a video, it will default to 720 p. Saved when watching videos on the iPad, you can tap a button in the upper-left corner of the screen, that between the screen fill completely or letterbox mode is changed. If you're watching YouTube, the tree view control in the bottom left of the video window between the TV screen will completely fill out or play the video within the page YouTube app, which is displayed in the window image reflection, iPad-shaped on the TV. When 720 p video, say a movie from the iTunes store purchased using the adapter on a television screen plays, it looks very crisp. We are talking not Blu-ray level video here, but it's still a high-definition experience. See also hot, provided photos, they are not low resolution. When watching videos low-resolution - say, some not - HD YouTube-clip - the results are predictable ugly. This is obviously not knocking on the adapter - looks low res footage never good, if it is broken, and there is no whole lot you can do about it. He why the toggle button to fill the screen or change back to mirror-image size is necessary.

(Fourth Gen) iPod touch, iPhone 4, and original iPad play all video and photos on the adapter, but the iPad only shows 2 mirror imaging. In other words, if you were hoping with the adapter to play games or view apps on your iPod touch on your TV, you can not. iPad 2 applications, games, to say, GarageBand, reflected but perfectly, and in real time on a HDTV via the Digital AV adapter.

It is worth mentioning that if you Apple TV ($ 99, 4-star) have, you wirelessly can identify iOS stream video in the AirPlay on your device to your TV. In other words, you can view the same video more, for about $60, but wirelessly send that via cable to your TV. AirPlay and Apple TV do not support however, mirror imaging, so the Digital AV adapter a unique accessories-remains, particularly if you a iPad 2 have.

Sure, a lot of fun is just videos or photo slideshows, or games of the iPad on your HDTV, but the adapter is also useful. Teachers can presentations of their iPads project lessons and business people. Is it worth $40? For iPad 2 owners Yes - it is a simple, all-in one (well, minus the not including HDMI cable) solution that helps you get the most from your Tablet and your HDTV. For the latest Gen iPod touch, iPhone 4, and original iPad owner it doesn't seem the price value how much less can do it.
