Apple are not supported for use with the screen mirroring feature. These devices use a proprietary technology called AirPlay® Mirroring, which will only work with certain AppleTV® devices

Sony uses a technology called Miracast for screen mirroring, Apple uses what they call Airplay so to view from ipad to a larger screen you will need apple tv to connect to the tv.

To use Miracast, you need a device running Android 4.4 or higher


Hope that is helpful.
