Apple TV to Smartboard

What is actually required to connect an AppleTV to a smartboard in order to mirror Ipads ? I gather I would need a HDMI to VGA converter box is that correct ?

yes... but make sure you get an active adapter not passive!

Yes that's correct you need a box (active, as William told you). But to be more specific: there is no such thing as a passive adapter between HDMI and VGA, because HDMI is digital technology and VGA is analogical technology, so it's just not enough to reorganise the pins, it must be a logical part which can be able to convert signals.

Best regards!

Thanks guys. I gather that Apple TV cannot be configured with proxy settings unless you use Apple Configurator, is that correct ?
