Kanex adapter extends Apple TV to VGA projectors
May 3rd 2012
Kanex recently announced the ATV Pro for the Apple TV. The device is an HDMI to VGA adapter, allowing Apple's puck-like streaming box to connect to a VGA display. With AirPlay, both from current iOS devices and soon Macs running Mountain Lion, users can run presentations and media wirelessly.
Apple TV has become a pretty viable presentation tool. AirPlay video mirroring capabilities and Keynote support can be a pretty slick way to beam info without being tethered to a projector. While most higher-end projectors have HDMI or at least DVI, which is compatible with HDMI with a simple cable adapter, many older or cheaper/compact projects only have VGA. The $59 adapter here can retrofit such projectors to work with an Apple TV.
