AnswerNo, the lightning to 30-pin adapter only supports charging and audio, but not video. I'm sorry to say that you will need to purchase Apple's overpriced lightning digital av adapter for $49. You can find it at most stores. I would consider looking into an Apple TV. It is $99 and you can wirelessly stream video and audio from any apple device. You can find it in most stores.

AnswerSimple answer; Yes. But when you play the video, it only shows on the screen you have your device plugged into, not the device itself. Your device becomes sort of like a remote for the video you are watching.

Is it possible to run other accessories from the second 30 pin connector port on this adapter?
I recently purchased this adapter for use with my iPad too and I would like to know if it is possible to use a second accessory from the charging port(I.e the apple camera connection kit) and still be able to display Hdmi at the same time.

Can this Apple Digital A/V cable be used to play video files tapped from a NAS (Network Access) Drive?
I am trying to find a way to play video home movies saved on a NAS drive and played on my Iphone 4 (via an app), to be viewed on a TV. I learned that just hooking a cable from the iphone to tv only plays movies saved on the internal memory of the Iphone, not from a separate drive.
Does this cable allow movie files to be played on a tv from a NAS drive? The description says the unit can "mirror" any video that is playing on the Iphone.- Asked by Don S from Lindenhurst

Answer
Yes. The Apple Digital AV Adapter is not intended to connect directly to any device. First of all the HDMI output is female which means that you realy need to use a HDMI extension cable to connect to your device not careing if it is in the roof or the floor.
