How to hook up iPad to TV for slideshow presentation

May 13, 2013 - PRLog -- Have saved many photos on your iPad and want to watch your iPad photos on big-screen TV as a slideshow? In this tutorial, I will show  you how to convert your photos to a stunning slideshow presentation, then connect your iPad to TV for mirroring a slideshow to TV from iPad.

To attach your iPad to TV, you need to use the Apple Digital AV Adapter and HDMI cable. Also your TV should be HDMI compatible. Apple Digital AV Adapter supports iPad 2 and iPad 3 and can be purchased from Apple store. It can put your slides, movies, photos, and everything else that fills your iPad or iPhone 4S screen on an even bigger screen — your HDTV or other HDMI – compatible display.

To turn photos to an eye-catching slideshow, Photo Slideshow Director HD (https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/photo-slideshow-director-hd/id457847244?mt=8)  can help. This iPad slideshow maker enables you to organize photos from Photo Library and web albums (Picasa, Facebook, Flickr, Dropbox, SkyDrive and Instagram ), then create a slideshow with music, transitions, pan & zoom effects, text, subtitles and more effects. Also it allows you to play a slideshow to TV by connecting iPad to TV.

1. Create a slideshow presentation with photos and music
Photo Slideshow Director HD is a simple yet powerful slideshow creator. Add photos and music into it, then a slideshow with transitions and pan / zoom effects is ready to display. Also you can select transitions and customize pan & zoom effects, add text and subtitles to describe the slide show, choose a theme, specify time for slides and transitions, etc.

Besides streaming the slideshow to your TV, you can upload it to Facebook, YouTube, Dropbox and SkyDrive for sharing.

2. Connect iPad to TV with Adapter and HDMI cable
Plug the Apple Digital AV Adapter into your iPad via 30-pin dock connector

Plug the HDMI cable into the HDMI slot(the smaller of the two slots on the other end) of the Apple Digital AV Adapter. To have you iPad charged at the same time, connect the dock-to-USB cable to the other adapter slot with the dock end, then to the power adapter with the USB end.

Insert the other end of the HDMI cable into your TV HDMI port, and switch the your HDTV input to HDMI.  Now the screen of your iPad should be displayed on TV.

3. Mirror a slideshow to TV from iPad
Now go back to Photo Slideshow Director HD, tap the Export icon and select HDTV / Airplay.

Once you you tap HDTV / Airplay, the first picture in the slideshow will be displayed on your TV, and it will show TV Connected in the main screen of the Photo Slideshow Director HD.

Tap the Play button, the slideshow will be playing on your HDTV in full screen.
