iPad 2 Wireless Video Mirroring
04 Apr 2011 | News | Ria Absin-Viente on Google+
The iPad 2 continues to amaze the analysts and consumers not only with its strong demands, but also with its new features of which include mirroring as what gaom.com called a killer feature.
The screen of your second-gen iTablet beholds images with great resolution, but what if you can see videos on the screen of your HDTV? This sounds exciting and possible with the use of Digital AV Adapter which is a tethered cable.
In a never-ending search of ways to break the norms, one forum poster has successfully manipulated the mirroring feature of the iPad 2 with his own ways. Technically we call this hacking. The forum poster who’s known for the name EGOvoruhk, was able to make mirroring of the second-gen iPad wireless.
This procedure requires knowledge about this type of technology and of course the guts to do it. I am not talking about dismembering or jailbreaking your precious iPad 2. It’s better to have a little knowledge of everything so I will give you the basics on how the hacking was done.
EGOvoruhk was able to successfully create a wireless setup using Apple’s Digital AV Adapter, a USB battery, and the addition of the device called HP Wireless TV Connect. He packed all accessories into one case making it as portable as possible (double the size of the second-gen iTablet), which is not bad. The steps sound complicated, but with a person like EGOvoruhk it works easy like a piece of cake.
According to reports, Apple is currently working on developing similar wireless mirroring capability.
The procedure went well, and one video for a demo shows that the motions of both devices are synchronized. The videos run smoothly and the reviewer did not find lag in motion. The new discovery makes the new Apple Tablet not only as a viewing device, but also as remote control that will bring everything right in front of your eyes.

The hacking costs $275.00, a reasonable amount to spend considering how it will enhance your viewing capabilities. Though some would want to try this update, others will probably wait for Apple to offer the feature for free with AirPlay. Let’s just cross our fingers at this time as what the old cliche goes.
