[Make sure to only purchase genuine Apple adapters as lower priced, generic adapters from a third Projector iPad Pro or party may not work.] Apple TV Display Monitor Peer-to-Peer AirPlay For a wired connection, decide whether you’ll use a VGA cable or an HDMI cable.HDMI CableA VGA cable has been the standard connection and generally allows for a much longer cable lengths, e.g. 100 feet, whereas an HDMI cable can suffer from signal degradation if the cable is longer than 25 feet. If you choose to connect using a VGA cable, purchase a Lightning to VGA Adapter from Apple (https://www. apple.com/shop/product/MD825AM/A/lightning-to-vga-adapter). This adapter is priced about $50 and also has a connection to allow you to charge the iPad at the same time the iPad Lightning port is being used by the adapter. If you choose to connect using an HDMI cable, purchase a Lightning to Digital AV Adapter from Apple (https:// www.apple.com/shop/product/MD826AM/A/lightning-digital-av-adapter?fnode=97). This adapter is priced about $50 and also has a connection to allow you to charge the iPad at the same time the iPad Lightning port is being used by the adapter. If you use a VGA cable, and have any multimedia files that have audio, you will need to connect a speaker to the 3.5 mm headphone jack on the iPad. If you use an HDMI cable, the video and audio are aggregated together so any audio will be send to the projector or display monitor speakers. © 2010-2018 LIT SOFTWARE, LLC All Rights Reserved TrialPad, TranscriptPad, DocReviewPad, and LIT SOFTWARE are Registered Trademarks of LIT SOFTWARE, LLC Lightning to VGA Adapter Projector iPad Pro or VGA Cable Display Monitor - OR - HDMI Cable Lightning Digital AV Adapter Using TrialPad to Present Using a Wireless Connection Projector iPad Pro or Apple TV Display Monitor Peer-to-Peer AirPlay HDMI Cable With a wireless connection the iPad wirelessly transmits the presentation to an Apple TV, and the Apple TV is then connected to a projector or display monitor using an HDMI cable, and can present evidence at up to 1080p HD quality. The Apple TV required is the 4th generation Apple TV or later which costs about $150 (https://www.apple. com/shop/buy-tv/apple-tv/apple-tv-32gb). The iPad communicates with the Apple TV using Peer-to-Peer AirPlay which eliminates the need for the iPad or the Apple TV to be connected to a WiFi network. For best performance, the iPad should have a line of sight to the Apple TV and be less that 100 feet away. To enable AirPlay from your iPad, swipe up from the bottom of the iPad screen (iOS 11), or down from the top right of the iPad screen (iOS 12), to reveal Control Center. Tap on the Screen Mirroring button, then select your Apple TV. The projector or display monitor will now mirror the desktop of your iPad. When you launch TrialPad the projector or display monitor will intentionally go blank until you slide the Output switch to On and press Present. When using an Apple TV for presentation, we recommend you prevent it from starting the screensaver or going to sleep. To do this, navigate to Settings > General > Screensaver > Start After > and change it to Never, then go to Settings > General > Sleep After > and change it to Never. To prevent another iPhone or iPad user (e.g. opposing counsel or someone in the courtroom) from taking control of your Apple TV, you should require a password to connect to your Apple TV. Go to Settings > AirPlay > AirPlay > Allow To AirPlay > Everyone, and then below in the same window select Require Password > On [enter a password]. © 2010-2018 LIT SOFTWARE, LLC All Rights Reserved TrialPad, TranscriptPad, DocReviewPad, and LIT SOFTWARE are Registered Trademarks of LIT SOFTWARE, LLC.
