Why is my HDMI adapter not working?

I just bought a HDMI adapter but it does not work. I got the message from the projector about HDCP - but I am not trying to project a streaming app. I'm using a drawing app (Procreate- also up to date). have an iPad pro (Model A1584) OS is up to date 15.4.1. I bought the adapter recommended for my model. Do I need a different adapter?

iPad Pro, iPadOS 15

Which model of iPad are you using? Is the “HDMI Adapter” of Apple origin, or a third-party manufacturer? If the latter, you will need to seek assistance from the manufacturer of your adapter - and/or your projector to verify compatibility with your set-up.


If your iPad has a Lightning port, your best option is to consider use of the Apple Lightning Digital AV Adapter:

Otherwise, if your iPad has a USB-C port, an Apple USB-C Digital AV Multiport Adapter:

If attempting to view high-definition copyright-protected material, all devices in the connection chain must support HDCP - otherwise you’ll not be able to view anything on an external monitor or display.
