If you want to screen mirror to a projector, simply connect a computer running Reflector or an Apple TV to the projector with an HDMI cord. Then use AirParrot to wirelessly mirror your Surface Pro screen to the Apple TV or Reflector-enabled computer. You’ll be wirelessly screen mirroring in seconds.

Don’t have an Apple TV or a Chromecast? You can download Reflector software to turn any computer into a wireless receiver. Check out  here.
