This application can be used similar to a "document camera (overhead projector)" or a "live camera" to project documents, objects, people or scenes onto a large screen. In addition, showing a still image from Photo Albums is possible. Wireless transfer to AirPlay supported devices such as Apple TV is supported, as well as connections via various cables and adapters. The following adapters/cables are supported: - AirPlay supported devices - Apple TV (2nd generation and later) - USB Type-C Cable (video output supported) - Lightning to VGA Adapter - Lightning Digital AV Adapter (HDMI) - Apple VGA Adapter - Apple Digital AV Adapter (HDMI) - Apple Composite AV Cable - Apple Component AV Cable This application has the functions listed below.

It can be sent wirelessly to AirPlay supported devices or Apple TV. When using a VGA cable, plug an audio cable to iPhone's headphone jack. * To work with AirPlay supported devices or Apple TV, tap the screen mirroring button in the Control Center.
