Since iPads are designed for on-the-go use, connecting your iPad to your outdoor movie theater's projector is simple and easy.

Once you have the right connecting cord, just plug the HDMI end into your projector and you're ready to go! If you're Using a forth-generation iPad or iPad Air, find a lightning bolt cord-to-HDMI cable and you'll be all set. Since HDMI handles both video and audio, the one cord will be all you need as a visual and sound source for your outdoor movie theater. Once you're all connected, just pick which movie your want to watch and kick back and enjoy the show.
