DisplayOut for iPad was released for the jailbroken iPads and is now on the Cydia Store thanks to Ryan Petrich. This app allows you to mirror the iPad's screen out to an external display via an attached VGA or component/composite cable. Similar to earlier iPhone solutions like TV Out and ScreenSplitr, DisplayOut extends video out to the larger iPad screen. DisplayOut provides a great way to create application videos. The app supports both in-app and Springboard video, so you can record complete sequences including application launch and run time.
The only downside to the application is that the video doesn't quite fill the screen and we couldn't find a way to increase the screen size. That's why the video on the Magic Window review appears on the small side. Positives included excellent Settings integration and the ability to easily enable and disable video mirroring with simple switch change. An adjustable refresh rate lets you increase video quality, albeit at the cost of more system resources. We found some applications slowing down exponentially as the refresh rate grew.
Overall, DisplayOut is a great utility for anyone who has a jailbroken iPad, a video cable, and a desire to display or record iPad action. Note that you will need a record device on the other end of the cable (VCR, DVD-R, or a video in device for the computer) to capture videos.
