How can I output my Unity3d game for iPad using VGA Output

Unity Engine

Good morning! Just wondering if anyone has created an iPad Unity 3d game with the code for the video output to a projector. I have a meeting with our Dean and really want to show the game on the projector using my vga adapter from my iPad for everyone to view. I realize there it is a UIApplication class for the iPhone SDK. But just not sure where to start from there. Any help would be most appreciated. Take care - Jules

I would also be interested in this… I bought the Apple video out cable to present works in progress to more than one person at a time - and found to my disappointment that Apple have locked it by default to only output movies and photos. Why did they do this? I expected it quite reasonably to output the display all the time, like when you hook a laptop up to a projector.

I will keep searching. I know there is code out there that allows you to take your application and convert it to vga. As soon as I find it I will post it. Take care - Jules

Does Unity officially support the video out? It would be a nice feature to add to my next game, and would make displaying the game at conferences much easier.

This is nothing in Unity that supports video out. The only way to do that would be to use some ObjC-Fu. The Stinkbot Unity Enhancement pack had some video out methods at some point. Not sure if there are still in there or not.

Excellent - this was exactly what I was looking for and just couldn’t find the article again. Take care - Julie

That’s my video out article. That code does not work on iOS 4.0. I have a newer version that does work, but there’s a bug in iOS 4.0 on iPhones where the screen count is wrong. I have submitted it to Apple and I am currently discussing it with them. The code does work on iPads, however.

Any updates on this?
