Step-by-Step Instructions for Connecting the MLM2Pro to a Projector

Step 1: Set Up the Rapsodo MLM2Pro

Before you connect it to a projector, set up the MLM2Pro as you normally would:

1. Charge the device using the provided USB-C cable.
2. Download the Rapsodo app from the Apple App Store or Google Play Store if you haven’t already.
3. Turn on the MLM2Pro and pair it with your phone or tablet via Bluetooth through the Rapsodo app​.

Step 2: Connect Your Mobile Device to the Projector

Once your MLM2Pro is connected to your mobile device and ready to use, follow these steps to connect your mobile device to the projector:

1. Determine Your Connection Type

   • If you are using an iPhone or iPad, you will likely need a Lightning-to-HDMI adapter.
   • For Android devices, check if your phone or tablet supports USB-C to HDMI output or wireless casting.

2. Connect the HDMI Adapter

   • For wired connections, plug the HDMI cable into the HDMI port on the projector.
   • Plug the other end of the HDMI cable into your HDMI adapter (Lightning to HDMI or USB-C to HDMI).
   • Connect the adapter to your mobile device.

3. Project the Screen

   • Once the HDMI connection is established, your mobile device’s screen should automatically be mirrored onto the projector.
   • Adjust your projector settings to optimize screen size and quality.

Tip: If your projector supports wireless casting, you can use screen mirroring from your phone to the projector. This method may vary depending on the projector’s brand, so refer to the projector’s user manual for specific instructions​.

Step 3: Launch the Rapsodo App

Once the screen is mirrored on your projector, follow these steps:

1. Open the Rapsodo app on your mobile device.
2. Navigate to the Practice Mode or Simulator Mode where your session will be displayed. Ensure your MLM2Pro is properly aligned with your hitting area for accurate tracking.
3. The data from your session—such as ball speed, carry distance, spin rate, and shot replays—will now be visible on the projected screen. This creates an immersive, life-sized simulation experience.

Step 4: Fine-Tune Your Projector Settings

To enhance the experience, fine-tune your projector settings:

• Adjust the brightness and contrast to match your room’s lighting.
• Ensure your screen or wall provides a clear display of the golf simulation software.
• If needed, adjust the aspect ratio for optimal viewing, ensuring no data or metrics are cut off.

If you encounter any issues while connecting the MLM2Pro to a projector, consider these troubleshooting steps:

• Check for compatibility issues: Ensure your mobile device and projector are compatible with HDMI connections.
