Wired setup
- iPads without an audio jack (iPad 10th Gen, iPad Pro 3rd gen & iPad Air 4 and newer models)
The video connection is set up with an HDMI cable, and the audio is set up with an RCA cable.
You’ll need either:

You can also use any officially iPad-supported adapter or video matrix that achieves the same outcome.

- You’ll need an Apple Lightning Digital AV Adapter.
Please note! The length of an HDMI cable can affect the quality of the transmitted signal. Signal losses can occur with distances over 10 meters/35 ft, which can cause degradation of image or sound quality. HDMI repeaters and extenders can strengthen the HDMI signal for longer distances. For professional longer-distance installations, we recommend you to contact your local professional AV company and use, for example, active HDMI fiber or CAT cables.
Wireless setup
You’ll use Apple wireless Airplay protocol with screen mirroring for a wireless video and audio connection.
You’ll need an Apple TV and an HDMI audio extractor.
