Costumer Evaluations
Although released with the iPad two, this adapter will, in reality, pipe each video and audio out of an iPad 1 and an iPhone 4 through HDMI with no any challenge as long as the app you wish to view supports it.
My key interest in this adapter was to have the potential to watch Netflix streaming on family members TVs who do not have Web service. The Netflix app works beautifully more than ATT 3G connections on each the iPad and iPhone four, but I wished to have a way to use the service at older family member's houses who do not have Online of any sort. I had read most of the testimonials right here on Amazon and completed some other digging about, but no one particular was extremely clear as to what this adapter could and could not do on older hardware. Here's my assessment to date:
iPad two - You get true "mirroring" efficiency. This basically signifies that whatever you see and hear from the iPad two on screen gets put by means of the HDMI connection, which includes the household screen icons, sound effects, etc. This is what the adapter was made for.
iPad 1 - When plugged in, you do not get to see anything on the Tv screen, but the Television will recognize that it is receiving an HDMI signal. It will basically be blank. The iPad 1 screen will behave typically until you open an app that is compatible with video/audio out and that is when the magic starts. In the Netflix app, which is the only a single I've tested so far, you nonetheless get the menus and whatnot on the iPad 1 screen as normally, but as soon as you get started playing streaming video, the iPad 1 screen displays a red screen with the Netflix logo. All the video and sound gets piped through the HDMI output to the Television.
I did not have sophisticated testing gear or potential to display the signal's resolution on the Television, but the resolution appears to be, at least for iPad 1, 720p. There was no distortion or stretching of the picture and it filled the Television screen correctly with particularly tiny horizontal bars to keep the aspect ratio right. With 3 bars of signal, the film streamed just fine and high quality was perfectly viewable with no grossly obvious compression artifacts. Far better than VHS and loosely in the ballpark of DVD (even though upconverted to 720p, apparently).
iPhone four - I tried the identical thing on my iPhone four. It all functions basically the exact same as on an iPad 1, which makes excellent sense given the similarities in hardware. I did notice significantly worse compression artifact errors, although, when output to Television. My guess is that the video signal becoming streamed to the iPhone four is scaled down to fit the compact screen, where such artifacting would be much less noticeable, and that this little-screen version does not scale well to a 42" HDTV. Even though each sound and video were output just fine, the quality of the video left substantially to be desired. In fact, I would describe the video as basically unwatchable.
It's my understanding that other apps function essentially the similar. I don't have a list of apps, other than Netflix, which will operate in this way. I wouldn't be shocked if the YouTube app, iPod video, etc. worked and even possibly a game or two. My most important need was Netflix, and it functions just fine for that purpose.
The adapter itself has two ports, a single HDMI female port and a single common female iPod connector port. This permits you to energy/charge the iPad or iPhone when simultaneously outputting video and audio. Not included, of course, is an HDMI cable. I would recommend you get at least a 3' cable, possibly a 6' cable, with which to connect to the Tv or projector due to the fact you will have to account for needing to physically manipulate the touch screen to start off up video output. Develop excellent is typical Apple, which is to say superb.
Especially pleased with my gamble to obtain this. Didn't want other individuals to have to be concerned if their intended use was comparable.
This small accessory works like a charm. It does help video out for each the iPad 1 and two, but only from the devoted video app, or a few other video services like Netflix. The mirroring function (which will display almost everything that is on the iPad--video, apps, property screen, and so on.--specifically mirrored on the Television/monitor) is only achievable with the iPad 2. All it demands is an HDMI cable, plug one finish into the Tv, the other into the adapter, and it really is excellent to go. There is even an additional 30 pin port so that the iPad can be plugged into a energy source at the identical time, if there is ever a will need to exceed it's 10 hour battery span. All in all, an remarkable way to make the iPad's content accessible for teachers, business enterprise presentations, dwelling entertainment, or other group actions. A great and valuable accessory for the iPad.
