When we buy an iPad, especially if it is the iPad Mini, one of the best options we can embrace is to connect it to our television to be able to watch iPad on TV, on the big screen, both in mirror mode, that is, seeing the screen of our iPad duplicated on our television, as well as projecting content, especially movies or videos in general, both stored on our device and in streaming. For this we are going to show you the two fundamental options that exist.
See the iPad on our TV through AirPlay
Without a doubt, this is the best option that we can opt for given its comfort and good performance. The disadvantage is that for this we will also need to acquire a Apple TV.
Once the Apple TV is connected to our television through the HDMI cable the one that comes with it, we will only have to display «Control Center» on our iPad, click on the icon AirPlay, choose the device where we want to project the image of our iPad and click on duplicate. We will automatically see on the screen of our television exactly the same as on the screen of our iPad, as if it were a mirror.
How to watch iPad on TV with AirPlay
If what we want to see is not the screen of our iPad if not, for example, a movie from Videos, VLC, SkyPlayer or from applications such as A3Player, MiTele, RTVE, etc. what we will have to do is press the icon AirPlay that we will find on the screen of our iPad itself when the playback begins, although we can also proceed in the same way explained before through control Center. In this way we can see the content directly on the big screen.
[box type = »shadow» align = »aligncenter»]WARNING: some applications such as Canal + Yomvi, Orange TV and the like do not allow direct playback through AirPlay arguing "rights of content providers" so, inevitably, we will have to resort to the "mirror effect" explained above. [/ box ]
See the iPad on our TV via cable
If we do not have Apple TV or want to buy one, we can also resort to connect our iPad to the TV through a AV adapter that we can find in the Apple Store itself at a price that ranges from € 39 for the old 30-pin connector to € 49 for the new Lightning (it goes without saying that you can also find them much cheaper through the Chinese stores that we all already know).
To play the iPad on your TV You just have to first connect the digital AV adapter to your iPad and, secondly, connect the male-male HDMI cable between the adapter and the HDMI port of your TV. Select on your television the option that corresponds to said entry and DONE! watch the iPad on your TV.
