New member and first question!

[kms66]

Hello, I am a soon to be retired firefighter and am attempting to get several of our staff online with iPads. Since I need help with some of this tech, I thought this site would be of some help. Thanks!
Now for my first question, is there a way to send to meeting attendees with iPads what is being shown on a projector screen? I know how to send an iPad image to a projector, but is there a way from the projector to the iPads in the audience? Thanks again.

What is providing the image for the projector? If it is a computer, then some of the meeting software out there might be usable from the computer (rather than he projector). Fuze is the only one I can think of off the top of my head, but there are several apps along this line.

The only other thing I can think of is to point a camera, perhaps an iPad's camera, at the projection, then use Skype or some more robust video conference software. I doubt this will look good unless it's a really bright projection.

Since there are no video in ports on the iPad there is no way to feed it directly from the projector. Well, none that I know of.
