What format does it output? 1080p30, 1080p60, 1080i30, 1080i60 and so on?
It's impossible to find any information in what format this adapter outputs!
Don't say it's 1080 or 720. More detailed information is needed like 1080p30, 1080p60, 1080i30, 1080i60, etc- Asked by Jongam P from Emeryville

AnswerIt's 720p 59.94. I finally made it work with Blackmagic ultrastudio mini recorder and it recognize as such. Others didn't work.
So, on 1080 screen, it just upscale. Not bad for movie viewing. Anyway it doesnt support 1080 natively.- Answered by Jongam P from Emeryville

Answer
The one I have, Model A1438, works fine on every HDMI device I've tried it with. This is on an iPad Pro and an iPhone 8, both running iOS 12.1. And no, you don't need to plug in the USB (I assume you mean the Lightning socket) to a power source, as many other such adapters require. That is perhaps this device's most compelling feature.

Can I use for long periods of time without damage or over heating Iphone?
Will it damage my IPhone?

- Flag as inappropriate (Can I use for long periods of time without damage or over heating Iphone?)
AnswerNo problem with the phone overheating, but there IS a problem. If you plug in the charger cord while using the adapter, apparently the hdmi female on the adapter heats up and stops working. I've already bought 2 and returned one. After going through 2 of them while trying to charge the phone at the same time, I'm on my 3rd. I have never plugged in the charger cord on this one and it has held up about three weeks; however, it is now beginnning to cut out if the the adapter is jarred in the least. Someone should be able to design one of these things in which the female hdmi end of the cord would hold up.

For iPhone 7 is it possible to have Audio input (for my microphone ) with Lightning Digital AV adapter while using HDMI output to a reference monitor?
With iPhone 7 Plus I want to record video and use an external (large) monitor. So I use the Digital AV adapter for HDMI out BUT now my external microphone (plugged into the auxiliary lightning port on the adapter) is no longer recognized. It worked fine when plugged directly into the phone without the adapter. Is it possible for this configuration to work. If so, how?
AnswerLightning Digital AV adapter is signal output only.
Digital audio and video from iPhone / iPad are transmitted from lightning connector towards the HDMI connector. -

Best Answer:
Never found a solution to this problem. Based on what I have trad further, the streaming capability is blocked by the DirecTV app to avoid people using it as a way to bypass paying for separate DirecTV boxes.
