Trouble is it doesn't do that, and even when sharing Photos from a Mac in the past it always 'processed' the image to some extent lowering quality/resolution.In this article, we’ll take you through the steps to set this up. Say you were displaying individual photos and not worried about screen mirroring I'd far prefer AppleTV to be able to directly navigate an attached iOS device's photo library and pull and render the files itself for best quality irrespective of sending device.

In fact my beef with the original AppleTV was that it should have had 4k on release (as did Amazon's Fire TV update at the time), for no other reason than the iPhone 6s released could capture 4k video and AppleTV would have been the ideal output device for this, bandwidth allowing of course. Until AppleTV 4k there would have been no point sending a stream of higher quality than 1920 x 1080 over Airplay (assuming it can even reach HD res) as display would have been impossible at the higher res. Another thing to mention is that I can't remember if Airplay resolution is limited from iOS in particular. So mirroring iPhone 7 will give a lower resolution Airplay stream than an iPad with retina display (as a minimum). IPhone 7 resolution (1334x750 or 1920x1080 for the Plus) is a lot lower than an iPad with Retina display (2048x1536) or iPad Pro. Mirror anything from your iOS devices to your desktop. LonelyScreen AirPlay Receiver free download. Share from iDevice easily (Presentation, app demo, game play, or family pictures). Support media streams and screen mirroring. Personally like you I'd prefer best quality whenever possible.ĭon't forget that if Airplay mirroring then you are mirroring the 7's screen. Main features: - Cast iPhone/iPad display to OSX screen easily. I don't think any of us as users can begin to guess exactly how Airplay is implemented on individual devices, and I don't doubt your experience, but I'd not be surprised at all if compromises are made on lower powered/older (even quite recent) devices. I therefore suspect AppleTV does any scaling to meet the set output resolution. If however Airplay upscaled on sending as well this would incur more processing steps and bandwidth to send. It would make more sense to me if the display size has to be upscaled at the receiving end for this to be done by AppleTV (or the TV). Don't forget that if you were using Airplay mirroring to send video streaming from the internet (assuming site allows this), then the wifi had to share bandwidth for incoming video and outgoing Airplay stream.ģ - Sending device screen resolution vs target output device resolution - conversion may be necessary.
The compression reduces bandwidth needed to send the data, but quality is dependent on at least - 3 factors:ġ - Processing resources on the sending device to compress the screen content - relatively static screens, say desktop mirroring, will take less processing power than rapidly changing content, and with the latter the sending device may already be using a lot of processing power to render the screen display say it's playing video or displaying a game running.Ģ - Local network bandwidth - the slower the local connection the lower quality the stream has to be to avoid issues with frame loss etc. The Mac/iOS device compresses the display contents in real time to send to AppleTV to decompress and display. It does not send pixel perfect screen information to the AppleTV. I've never liked Airplay mirroring, though confess it's better for me than it used to be,
