Use Apple TV to get your movies, TV shows, music,
podcasts, and photos from your computer to your widescreen TV.
Your computer is the center of your digital life. Your TV is the center of your
entertainment life. But what if you want to watch movies, TV shows, movie
trailers, podcasts, and photos from your computer on your TV? Apple TV
brings iTunes to the big screen.
Say you’ve just downloaded Cars from iTunes. Instead of huddling around
your computer to watch, you pop some popcorn while your computer wirelessly
syncs your new flick to Apple TV. Then you pull up a seat, put up your feet, and
pick up the included Apple Remote to play your movie on TV. Give yourself a
hand: You've just changed the way you watch digital media.
Apple TV ports iTunes to Apple TV, wire free.
Apple TV connects to your TV via an HDMI port or component video and audio
ports. Its built-in, superfast 802.11 wireless capability syncs your iTunes
library from any Mac or PC in the house. Best of all, what's on Apple TV stays
in sync: Anytime you change your library in iTunes, it changes on Apple TV - wirelessly, automatically.
What’s on TV? Whatever you want.
Apple TV puts your iTunes library - movies, TV shows, music, and podcasts - plus movie trailers from Apple.com on your TV. And your digital photos from
iPhoto on a Mac or Adobe Photoshop Elements or Adobe Album on a Windows PC
appear in high definition, so you can put on a stunning big-screen slideshow.
Wirelessly in Sync
Your iPod syncs seamlessly with iTunes. Apple TV does the same - wirelessly,
from wherever your Mac or PC may be. Your computer is in your office. Your TV is
in your living room. Apple TV brings them together using its built-in 802.11
wireless capability and your existing wireless network. Pair Apple TV with your
computer and your TV shows, movies, music, podcasts, and photos sync
automatically. Through the air. Like magic.
Open iTunes and Apple TV appears in your devices list, ready to sync. Set
iTunes to sync unwatched video. Sync new purchases. Or manually select what to
sync. Set your preferences once and Apple TV automatically updates as your
iTunes library changes. Everything travels over your network to Apple TV’s
built-in hard drive. So once you sync, even if you turn off your computer or
disconnect it from the network, you can still enjoy stored video - up to 50
hours of it - from Apple TV.
If you want to watch video from another computer, you can stream it live to
your TV via Apple TV. Streamed media travels over your network to your TV - without taking up space on Apple TV’s hard drive. That’s perfect for
multicomputer households or when the computer you sync with has more in its
iTunes library than will fit on Apple TV. Just choose up to five additional
computers from the Sources menu. As long as a computer’s on your network, it
can stream to your TV.
It just fits.
Easy connectivity and built-in wireless make Apple TV right at home in your home
entertainment system. Got a widescreen TV? Got iTunes? Then you’re ready for
Apple TV. Connect Apple TV to your TV and open iTunes on your computer. iTunes
wirelessly detects Apple TV and walks you through a simple setup.
Relax and unwire. If you don’t have a wireless network, you can set one up
easily with a wireless access point like the superfast 802.11 AirPort Extreme
Base Station. Newer AirPort Extreme-enabled Macs let you create a wireless
network using only your computer. And if you have a Mac or PC without wireless
capability, you can connect Apple TV to your network using an Ethernet cable
(sold separately).
Apple TV connects to your widescreen TV via an HDMI cable (sold separately).
This simple connection delivers both audio and video to your TV - no need for
multiple cables.
If your TV’s HDMI port is occupied by another device, or if your TV
doesn’t have an HDMI port, you can connect to Apple TV via component video and
audio. So no matter what your entertainment system looks like, Apple TV connects
easily. And since Apple TV has a built-in power supply, there's no unwieldy
power brick to hide.
Help when you need it.
From connecting your existing A/V receiver to selecting the right video mode, if
you run into problems while setting up your Apple TV, help is just a click away.
