tips for DPS publishing for display on ipad & widescreen TVs

Jun 20, 2012 8:50 PM

Tags: #hdtv

Im looking into the use of ipad as a presentation controller, for connection to an HD TV (using HDMI?, apple TV? ideas?) for display.

At the moment Ive designed folios horizontal at 768x1024 for ipad screen but should I instead be designing them at 1080 tall since the TV display for my audience is the priority?

If I do that what happens to the ipad screen during display? does it cut off the edges? or squeeze to fit? or does it display at all?

 

Ideally I would like the TV screen to display my folio full screen (without any black bars) but still be able to control, swipe and control interactivity from the ipad.

Anyone have experience and tips for setting this up?

 

thanks

    This question is related to AirPlay, not dps.

    When you mirror your iPad to an apple tv the output is always the same in 4:3 aspect ratio. This is for anything: the home screen, the web, games, magazines. Only videos might play in full screen on the apple tv.
