- Hi, I'm Jordan from kettner creative.
In this video,
we're going to show you
how to connect your Iphone to the projector.
(upbeat music)
we set up projectors and screens, every single day.
Some days, we set up 10, 15, 20 different screens,
depending on what's going on,
so we put this video together with some tips
to help you, set up your iphone and your projector.
So before we show you how
to set up your projector and screen,
I'm gonna show you what you need, to get started.
You will need your projector, your screen,
your iphone, and HDMI cable,
and we recommend the official from apple,
lightning to HDMI adaptor.
If you want to see current pricing,
or specs, or anything like that
for this adaptor, we have a link in the description bellow,
now the reason that we recommend the official from apple
lightning to HDMI adaptor,
is because that we have discovered that apple
does a lot of software updates, and security updates,
on the Iphone.
A lot of those security updates change the functionality
of the lightning port.
They are trying to prevent, unauthorized hardware,
from accessing unauthorized areas of the phone,
and the side effects of that,
is sometimes they make changes,
that will lock out third party lightning to HDMI adaptors.
But, we believe that apple will always
support the adapters that they sell,
and they'll provide the firmware updates
and everything will work for you.
So that's why we recommend always buying the adapter
from Apple even though it does cost a couple extra dollars.
So first thing that we'll do is we'll turn our projector on.
It's important to note that if you're having issues
connecting your iPhone to your projector,
the first thing that we recommend that you do,
is you restart the projector and you restart your phone.
In our experience that will resolve the problem
about 99% of the time.
For everything else. We're gonna keep offering you tips
and advice for things to look for
when you're setting this up.
Now, while the projector is turning on,
we're gonna plug our HDMI cable into the projector.
I typically always just plug it into HDMI one.
Sometimes there are multiple inputs on a projector,
just use HDMI input one
unless there's an issue with that input.
Next we'll connect the HDMI cable to the Apple adapter
and we'll connect our apple adapter
to the bottom of the iPhone.
So once that connection is made,
sometimes it does take a couple seconds
for the projector to recognize your phone.
If for whatever reason,
the projector does not show your phone
within about five or 10 seconds.
Most projectors have an input Select button here,
so we just click that on the Epson projectors,
it'll just automatically search all the different inputs
on the back of the projector.
It'll find the one that you plugged into,
and then they'll pull it up on the screen
so sometimes that will solve your issue.
Now if that doesn't work,
please do keep in mind that HDMI cables
are not locking connectors.
Sometimes they can be loose
and they do not work correctly and they fall out.
So just double check that everything is tight.
Now you'll see that the screen went black.
That's because the projector will not show your iPhone
if your iPhone is locked.
So we're going to unlock the uh, the iPhone here
and it'll come back up.
Now the good thing about this is
that you can show almost any type of content
from your iPhone,
but you will notice that you will have orientation
and resolution issues.
For some reason we have never been able to get the iPhone
to display horizontally in the default menu
it will always crop the sides and show it vertically.
But if we open something like YouTube,
it will show a full size video
like you can see on behind me here,
and you can hit play so that video will play.
But on your iPhone, you see a two screen experience.
This means that you can scroll through
and you can see and queue up next videos
if that's something You want to do.
Now the next thing I'm going to show you is opening keynote.
So if you open keynote,
you can see here that we're in our presentation mode.
So we'll exit out of this, this was open from previous.
So here's our slides
that we have organized in a presentation.
If we wanted to show a presentation, we can hit play.
This will show full screen on the screen behind us.
And on our screen, we can see the current and next slide.
Now we can change the settings on keynote as well.
So we can see current and notes if that's what we want,
or we can see next and notes.
So say we want to see current and notes.
This allows us to see the current slide
that's on the screen behind us,
plus any notes that we may have typed in this box here,
or you go back the way it was versus current and next.
Now we can see here
we can just scroll through various slides
until we get to the end of our presentation,
and it will end. Next I'm going to show you PowerPoint,
so on PowerPoint
We have a presentation here as well,
but we're going to notice with PowerPoint is
there is no second screen experience
it's full screen behind us and we can just go next.
And both are essentially mirrored aside
from the resolution issues where there's black bars
on the iPhone and it's full screen on the projector.
Now it is important to note that
by default audio will come out of your iPhone
through the HDMI cable into the back of the projector.
So if you're showing video content that needs audio,
you need to pull the audio out of the projector
using a headphone output or something like that.
That's the easiest way to do it.
There is no longer a headphone jack
coming out of the iPhone.
So that means since we've already used up
the lightning output from the iPhone,
that will have to use the headphone jack
out of the projector
if we want to connect this to external speakers.
Otherwise, we just need to turn up the volume
on the projector in order to get sound
in the room that we're presenting in.
We hope this video is helpful.
