Apple Computer
With Apple TV, you can take your movies, TV shows, music, photos and
podcasts from iTunes, and enjoy them in the comfort of your living room
on your big screen TV! Apple TVsyncs or streams your media from a PC or
Mac wirelessly via 802.11b, g, or n. When syncing, files are stored on
the built-in 40GB hard drive for later playback - streaming playback is
done in real-time, and you can stream from up to 5 difference
computers. In iTunes, you can customize how Apple TV syncs up with your
media. Have it sync automatically for new purchases, unwatched media,
or manually select whatever you like. Apple TV connects to your TV via
component or HDMI (optional) cables, providing stunning visuals in
resolutions up to 720p. Also, the Apple TV won't take up a ton of space
like other home entertainment components. It's only 7.7" square and
1.1" high, about half the size of the Mac Mini! Supported Video Formats
