Projection

 * NOTE ** If you are using the typical 25" VGA cable on rolling carts in many of the Waltham schools, you will need an amplifier to boost the signal. Contact Mike Iodice (5483) for an amplifier.

Best results (and the highest resolution): Use a display or projector with either the $39 Apple Digital AV Adapter (for displays with HDMI inputs) or the $29 Apple VGA Adapter (for displays with VGA inputs).

Lower resolution: Use the $39 Apple Component AV Cable or the $39 Apple Composite AV Cable, as appropriate. E.g. a television with neither HDMI nor VGA inputs.

Apple VGA Adapter
$29.00 to connect iPad to a TV, monitor, or LCD projector that uses a VGA connector or cable [|Adpater with a USB slot in addition to the VGA adapter](and this adapter also has a USB connection - many uses.

Apple Digital AV Adapter
$39.00 to connect to HDTV or any other HDMI-compatible display.
