Mirroring with a VGA Projector
Kanex ATV Pro allows a VGA projector to use Apple AirPlay mirroring from an iPad to Apple TV, thus eliminating the need to upgrade to expensive HDMI projection equipment. ATV Pro enhances presentation and educational iLearning experiences by bridging the gap between current equipment and modernization.
Power Plug Free and Audio Included
No need for external power or heavy adapters. ATV Pro draws power directly from your Apple TV so you can just plug and play. ATV Pro also has a built-in 3.5mm audio jack so you can play movies and music during your presentation.
Education Technology in Your Hands
Classrooms will have no limits. Educators have the ability to keep audiences engaged and connected for today’s iLearning experience. Thousands of apps can easily be mirrored from an iPad and displayed while allowing the freedom to move around while presenting.
"
As districts and schools look to technology modernization projects over the next few years, ATV Pro can help facilitate the jump into iLearning, creating streamlined environments and optimal classroom opportunities for teachers and students, alike. ATV Pro can be key in helping schools create the demand for iLearning experiences from K-12.

FAQ (
43
)
Will this work with the original ipad?
Great question! Yes, it will work in terms of streaming your movies, photos or music but it will not Mirror your iPad, since iPad mirroring works with the later models and iPhone 4S.
Do I need a wifi connection for this to work?
AirPlay Mirroring requires Apple TV and iOS device to be on the same network. If you have the new iPad 3rd generation or iPhone 4S it has a personal hotspot that Apple TV can join which will form a network of the 2 devices.
Will this work with other HDMI devices, like a sony media player? And does this display the Apple Tv interface, or just the airplay?
Honestly, this product is designed with Apple TV in mind and we have not tested the Sony Media Player yet, however it will work with all HDMI sources. ATV Pro will display the entire Apple TV interface on the VGA projector when connected to it.
Will this also work with older LCD/Plasma screens that only have VGA/DVI connections?
Absolutely, the ATV Pro is designed for legacy displays such as those mentioned above and VGA based projectors.
How do you choose (or what determines the VGA output resolution?
Great question. The VGA output resolutions are displayed using EDID (Extended Display Identification Data) through internally stored resolutions from either the VGA display parameters or through the adapters internal memory of resolutions.
I have apple tv and want to connect to a Sony plasma HD tv so I can stream netflix and other iTunes media. Will this do that? My Sony tv has a dvi-d and audio jacks but until now no good solution.
Apple TV will easily connect using HDMI but for your sony tv, you need to see if you have a VGA port on the back, not DVI-D. This converter will only work from HDMI to VGA with stereo audio.
Does this work with the new AppleTV generation 3. I have an existing adapter that works with my Apple TV gen 2, but not with the new gen 3, so I am looking for one that works.
Yes it has been tested to work with Apple TV 3rd Generation, 2nd Generation even the original Apple TV from 2006
Does it work directly with backberry playbook?Thanks
Yes it does. You'll need an micro hdmi adapter though
Will you need a wired connection from the Kanex ATV Pro to the iPad to get sound through the device or a wired connection with the Stereo Mini jack to a local sound source?
No. You only need a wired connection from your Apple TV to the VGA projector using our ATV Pro. That's it! Once that is connected, you can stream, mirror your content from iPad wirelessly around the class-room or conference room. The stereo mini-jack connects to the VGA projector for audio.
Does it work with a "normal" PAL-TV with VGA-in Port? Do i need any other accessories? Are there any restrictions?
Yes, it will automatically recognize the video system (PAL or NTSC) based on your TV. You don't need any additional accessories except a longer VGA cable and 3.5mm stereo audio cable for sound.
I have connected my apple tv via HDMI to my 4:3 smartboard and have been disappointed by how small the picture is - after changing all kinds of resolution settings on both the apple tv and the SMARTboard I am still faced with a tiny 16:9 screen that is mirroring my iPad 2. Will this attachment possibly correct the resolution problem since it will be displaying via VGA (which works great when directly connected to the iPad 2 instead of airplay via the apple tv)? Thanks for your help! If this
Apple TV max resolution out for AirPlay mirroring is 720p (1280x720 pixels). No matter if the output port is HDMI or VGA this is the max from the source Apple TV
Will this product go backwards, VGA to HDMI? It doesn't need to up convert, but just output.
No
Will the ATV Pro work with the new Apple TV at HDMI output resolution of 1080p?
Yes
Can this be used to ONLY play audio through speakers via the 3.5mm connection? more specifically, can this be used with airplay to play music through speakers connected through the 3.5mm mini-jack without using any VGA input whatsoever?
The answer is yes. You can easily connect the ATV Pro to your stereo or 2-channel speakers from the TV, disconnect the VGA output and still get audio from your iTunes collection and other Airplay related music sources. But keep in mind, you need Apple TV there to work the magic.
We're looking for an inexpensive way to add HDMI inputs to our existing analog projection system, but we have to have a specific resolution (1024x768). Can the internal EDID tables of this device be customized?
Yes, the internal EDID tables includes 1024x768 resolution and lower res up to 640x480 or 800x600. The internal tables cannot be customized since the converter works on Auto EDID mode, however – you can customize Apple TV resolution by going under general/ audio –video settings/ tv resolutions.
How does the ATV Pro handle multiple iPads in the classroom? How is the signal handed off from one iPad to another?
Great question, yes it does handle multiple iPads in the classrooms, to be precise - you can handle one signal at a time from Airplay devices and pass it on to another iPad as long as they are connected to the same network. As a tip: you can also set up a password/ lock for every ipads so they can log in to the Apple TV once their password is entered. Let us know if you have any other questions. Thanks
Not sure that my question is answered in the FAQ - I tried the ATV Pro this week at a conference, and the Apple TV showed just fine in 4:3 - but when I switched on mirroring, the screen went square, and the iPad screen was scrunched up. Is there a fix for this issue, or is this a function of HDMI to VGA? Thanks.
It will re-size the output based on your screen resolution. Apple TV supports 800x600, 1024x768, 720p and 1080p. Depending on the display, you can watch full widescreen TV when streaming Netflix or Itunes content but in mirror mode you screen when in Vertical mode will compress itself, smaller than 4:3 due to Airplay Restriction. On a second note, try going under projector settings and change your screen size (Horizontal& Vertical) this may help the overall size when mirroring.
Once connected, can the optical out of the AppleTV still be used to play out 5.1 streams or does the audio strictly now come out of the 3.5mm jack in stereo?
Yes, absolutely - you can use the optical out from the Apple TV to your AV receiver and still get 5.1 SS while connected to 3.5mm stereo which powers the 2-channlel audio from VGA projector speakers and you can mute or unmute, that's the beauty of it.
Does this work with ViewSonic projector with an apple tv?
Yes, it will work with any VGA projector as long as you match the resolution from your Apple TV to the native resolution of the projector. For more information, please click on the FAQ's tab under http://www.kanexlive.com/atvpro
Can this device also be used for an iPod touch - to mirror the things you see on the screen. Mirroring with a VGA adapter directly on the ipod touch is very limited.
No, Airplay mirroring technology only works currently with iPad 2, 3 and iPhone 4s.
Hello I was curious to know if I use 50 foot VGA cable and a 5 foot audio would the image and the sound still mach up?
Great question, when running 50ft VGA cabling or higher, signal equalization is required (through a booster or repeater), audio will work with 5-foot, but video will not provide the highest resolution unless accompanied by VGA boosters in between.
Hi. I have 2 questions. First, if I don't use AirPlay Mirroring, just the connect Apple TV to a VGA projector, can it still display the normal Apple TV interface, content and also the sound from audio port? Second, is this device compatible with OS X Mountain Lion's AirPlay feature, both sound and display. Thanks a lot.
1.For your first question, the answer is "Yes". You can still display normal Apple TV interface on to your projector and if you connect the 3.5mm stereo, you will get audio also. 2. The ATV Pro is fully compatible with OS X Mountain Lion, in terms of audio and video, however, you may want to check the hardware requirements for your mac since only the newer versions support Airplay thru macbook pros, air and minis. Thanks.
will work with the MacBook Pro Retina?
No, the MacBook Pro Retina does not supply power through the HDMI port to power the ATVPro.
Hi. Would i be able to use vga to dvi adapter to connect to dvi port on my tv? Or vga to component? Thanks
Thats a great question,however - adding a Component or DVI adapter on the other side of VGA will diminish the picture quality and most probably wont airplay your protected content such as iTunes or iBooks. There are several reasons for this, first being that our device is powerless, most of the DVI connectors requires 5v extraction from HDMI or other sources. Secondly, the Kanex ATV Pro is already a converter, by adding two converters in the same sequence may result into no display at all. Hope i answered your question. Thanks.
When I mirror my macbook pro, the image quality was great, but the display was smaller. The size of the projection was about 50% smaller.
Yes, that's true due to Airplay restrictions, when you stream a movie or video it will display on a normal widescreen mode, but when mirrored you are going to lose that part of screen, the ATV Pro adapter has nothing to do with the sizing but that's how airplay mirroring is designed. On a side note, try adjusting the resolution on your apple tv to 1024x768@60Hz and see if it adds more screen on the side. Thanks.

It makes the setup from the Apple TV to th VGA projector quick and easy. There is not another product on the market like this one.

It works great but can be better. The assemble of the HDMI port is sloppy, so that the case is too easy to be lost. If the power source of apple TV is removed-reconnected, the video output have 50% probability to be blank, so I have to re-plug my power several times for confirming the video output is normal.:) Surely I seldom have to remove my power resource, and the case of HDMI is now sealed with tapes, so I think this is still really an amazing product.

I ordered 50 of these to use in our classrooms to connect 3rd-gen AppleTVs to our existing VGA-only projectors. The packaging got annoying after opening half-a-dozen of them, but it's great that there's no power adapter necessary, and it includes audio as well as video. I've had a couple that suddenly would display a black screen (but would still negotiate the resolution) while other adapters or HDMI cables worked, but they seemed to start working again after a day or two being unplugged. Overall these have worked very well to connect to our legacy projectors.

I purchased these devices to facilitate the use of Apple TV with projectors that only have vga inputs and not hdmi inputs. thus far, they have worked well, a downside to them is the lack of audio out to the projector through the Kanex device. I chose these because they do not require an external power source and they are compact. I have 18 devices in use throughout a Preschool -7th grade school primarily in conjunction with projectors. If you want testing done, I have them being robustly used in a school environment and would be willing to test other devices. Don
