Which adapter do I need?

It depends on the port on your device, not the projector. Any projector with an HDMI input works.

  • USB-C iPhone or iPadiPhone 15 and later, and iPads with a USB-C port. Any USB-C to HDMI adapter that supports video out works; Apple's USB-C Digital AV Multiport Adapter is the safe pick.
  • Lightning iPhone or iPadiPhone 14 and earlier, and older iPads. Use Apple's Lightning Digital AV Adapter: many unbranded Lightning to HDMI adapters are unreliable for video out.
  • Long showsBoth Apple adapters have a charging port. Plug your charger into it so the battery doesn't run out halfway through the night.

Troubleshooting

Most first-night problems are projector settings, not the app.

  • No signal on the projector.Check the projector is on the HDMI input you plugged into, reseat the adapter at the phone end, then try a different HDMI cable.
  • The edges of the picture are cut off.Turn off the projector's zoom and overscan, or set its aspect to Full or Native, so the whole canvas reaches the wall.
  • Mapped corners drift or the picture looks soft.Switch off keystone and auto-keystone on the projector. EasyMapper Studio does the warping; projector keystone resamples the image and moves your corners.
  • AirPlay lags or drops out.Move the router or Apple TV closer, or use a wired adapter for anything timed to music. Wired HDMI has no network delay.
