Overview

The Apple Lightning Digital AV Adapter (MD826) provides a straightforward way to mirror your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch screen onto a TV, monitor, or projector equipped with an HDMI input. Once connected, everything on your device's display — from apps and presentations to photos, websites, and video content — appears on the larger screen in up to 1080p HD resolution. Both video and audio are transmitted through the single HDMI connection, eliminating the need for separate audio cables.

Setup is as simple as plugging the adapter into your device's Lightning port and connecting an HDMI cable (sold separately) to your display.
