Pad to Your TV p a 1 Connecting the iPad to Your TV With Apple TV and AirPlay Apple TV is a great way to connect your iPad to your TV While it is more expensive than other options it is the only solution that is wireless This means you can keep your iPad in your lap and use it as a remote while sending the display to your TV Apple TV uses AirPlay to interact with your iPad Ifan app interacts with AirPlay it can send full screen video to the TV But even apps that don t support AirPlay or video out will work via Display Mirroring which replicates your iPad s screen on your TV Another bonus of Apple TV is that a number of apps are already installed on the device If you love Netflix Hulu Plus and Crackle you won t need to connect your iPad to enjoy streaming video from these services You can load up the app directly on Apple TV Check out all the apps available on Apple TV As a bonus Apple TV also works great with the iPhone and iPod Touch allowing you to both stream video through AirPlay or just use your entertainment system s speakers to play music 2 Connect the iPad to your HDTV through HDMI Apple s Digital AV Adapter is perhaps the easiest and most straight forward way to hook your iPad up to your HDTV This adapter allows you to connect an HDMI cable from your iPad to your TV This cable will send the video out to your TV which means any app that supports video out will show up in 1080p HD quality And like Apple TV the D
