"Following last week's major release of iOS 6 for the iPhone, iPad and iPod touch, Apple quietly rolled out Apple TV Software Update 5.1 for the second- and third-generation Apple TV. This latest update for Apple's set-top box builds on the user interface enhancements introduced earlier this year, adds support for the Shared Photo Streams feature introduced in iOS 6 and adds several other enhancements including improvements to AirPlay support."

"AirPlay is an Apple feature that many iOS users don't know a lot about. For starters, it requires an Apple TV set-top-box, a gadget that isn't nearly as popular as other Apple products. Additionally, the best parts of AirPlay only showed up late last year with the release of iOS 5. It's relatively new territory, and thus often confuses people. The good news is that it's not difficult to use and it's an excellent way to get more out of your iDevices."

Apple TV goodness

Blog post by Wes Fryer on Dec. 7 re: concerns about hijacking iphone to be able to use video. Very helpful.

I want/need my iPhone (without jailbreaking it) to support video-out functionality, not just for video/movie playback but also to show my active/current screen when selecting and using different applications. According to the Apple Support Article "iPod and iPhone: TV out support," the iPhone and iPod Touch just support "TV Out" currently. "TV out" functionality is available if you own an "Apple Composite AV Cable,"

The trick to sending content from your ipad 2 or or iPhone 4S or higher is to turn on mirroring. You double click and then slide backwards to click the airplay button - if you have no clue what I just said, you'll want to use this article from apple about how to do it.

I wrote a blog post about AirPlay for Educators that goes over this and more for iPads and Macs. You can see that here: http://jonathanwylie.com/2012/12/10/an-educators-guide-to-airplay-on-ipads-and-macs/
