How to connect an iPad to a digital projector What do I need in order to connect an iPad to a digital projector?  I have tried nothing, because I have no idea what to try.
It is actually very simple.

Look at your Projector to see if the plug looks like this:



If your projector has HDMI plug use the Lightning Digital AV Adapter
