  • The functionality of this new adapter is identical to the old IOS AV adapter.

    The 2nd connector next to the HDMI Output jack on this new AV Adapter is female Lightning jack for charging the iPhone / iPad while playing videos to an external HDMI destination (TV, LCD Monitor, etc)

  • For those who have the composite AV cable for older version of IPODS(touch) you can buy an adapter (30 pin to lightning) and connect to that other input and then connect the old composite AV cable then connect the three prongs (2 audios-red and white and video-yellow) to your TV instead of using an HDMI cable. Then connect the USB connector of the old composite AV cable to a wall charger to charge your iphone at rhe same time. But if you have HDMI, this is the most convenient way to connect it to the TV.
