Your computer is the center of your digital life. Your TV is the center of
your entertainment life. But what if you want to play movies, TV shows, movie
trailers, podcasts, photos, and YouTube videos from your computer on your TV? In
40GB and new 160GB models starting at $299, Apple TV brings iTunes and more to
the big screen.
The revolution will be televised.
Say you’ve downloaded Cars from iTunes. Instead of watching it on your computer,
wirelessly sync the flick to Apple TV. Then pull up a seat, put up your feet,
and play your movie on TV. Give yourself a hand: You’ve just changed the way you
watch digital media.
What’s on TV? Whatever you want.
Apple TV puts your iTunes library — movies, TV shows, music, and podcasts on
your TV. And your digital photos appear in high definition, so you can put on a
big-screen slideshow. With up to 200 hours of video, 36,000 songs, or 25,000
photos at your command, there’s always something good on TV.
Direct-to-Internet
With Apple TV, you can watch theatrical trailers from Apple.com on your TV. And
now you can browse and watch YouTube videos on the big screen, too. Search
through thousands of free YouTube videos streaming directly from the Internet.
Just sit back and enjoy the show.
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 Wi-fi 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.
