what is the difference between vga adapter and the av cable

Best Answer:The Apple VGA Adapter is designed to connect your iPad to a monitor, TV or projector using a VGA cable. This is an older type of connection but still common on many projectors sold today. A VGA connection can only carry a video signal. Another limitation of VGA is its lack of support for HDCP - 'High Definition Copy Protection' - which prevents the playback of some movies (for example movies rented or purchased from the iTunes store) on an external display.
The Apple Digital AV Adapter allows you to connect you iPad to a monitor, TV, projector or home theatre system using an HDMI cable. HMDI carries both a video and audio signal, and supports HDCP, making it ideal for playback of rented or purchased movies from the iTunes store. This adapter also includes a 30-pin dock connector to which you can connect a USB charging cable, allowing you to charge your iPad at the same time as using the adapter.- Answered by Chris L

Will it display ebooks and pdf files?
Will the ebook and preview applications work with the VGA Adapter to display ebooks and pdf files?
- Asked by Anonymous A from Xxxx

- Flag as inappropriate (Will it display ebooks and pdf files?)
AnswerYes ... PDF files display well using the GoodReader application version 2.8
I wanted to use my iPad to project a ppt presentation I converted to PDF. After synching the PDF into my iPad as a GoodReader document I was able to open GoodReader, see the document in the list and on the very bottom right of the iPad screen there is a set of pop up menus. One of them is shaped as a flatscreen icon. If the vga adapter is plugged in to a VGA display device like a projector or a large monitor, the icon is active (not gray) and can be selected with a finger tap.
Opening the document now shows it on both the iPad and the via display device.
I posted this note because it took me a little time to notice the icon in the GoodReader app, it's new enough that there aren't good instructions yet on the GoodReader website and I didn't see any other comments when I searched for advice.

iPad Camera Connection Kit issues and CF cards
On an IPAD2 we have just tried to use an SD card using the reader that comes in the connection kit. The card did not show up on the IPAD and the images could only be viewed by connecting the camera with this SD card in it.
Some other cards read just fine. Unfortunately I have not recorded the capacity of the cards we tried it with, and unsure if there is a limit to the size of the card the IPAD connection kit can recognize.
Another issue is that we also use CF cards a lot. Not sure if these can be read by the IPAD in any way. Haven't had one on hand to try at least connecting the Canon 5D Mark II to it to see if it would read via the camera.
Any experiences people can share with me on either cases would be great.

Answer
No unless you use a scan converter to convert VGA to analog signal (RCA connector video and stereo audio), assuming your TV can handle this. Not really worth doing though- low res and usually kind of expensive.

Will this allow me to play stored videos (and You-Tube) on the Samsung SP-H03 on an iPhone 4 & iPad?
Put simply, I want to be able to play the films I have stored on my iPad (in the official 'videos' app) using the projector above, likewise with my iPhone 4.
Any ideas if this is possible?
Also, this should mean I can use it to project Keynote presentations and show photos (particularly from my iPhone camera reel?)
Finally, I read somewhere about it only working in native resolution, would this be an issue?
Kind Regards,
Joseph.- Asked by Anonymous A from Xxxxxxx

AnswerTo do it wirelessy you need to buy the $99 Apple Tv and upgrade your iPad to IOS 5. It is not possible for a Macbook Pro. If you are thinking of the Apple TV look at refurbished at the Apple online store, you can get them cheaper.
