Watching Video on a Big TV
We love watching movies on the iPad mini, but we also recognize the limitations of a smaller
screen, even one as stunning as the Retina display. Friends won't crowd around to watch with you,
as good as it is, so Apple offers two ways to display video from your iPad mini to a TV:
AirPlay:
Through the AirPlay feature, you can wirelessly stream movies — commercial
flicks or videos you shot — as well as photos and music from the iPad mini to an Apple
TV box that's connected to an HDTV. Start watching the movie on the iPad mini and tap the
AirPlay button that appears in the video controls. (Refer to Figure
8-8
.) You can watch only
one screen at a time. Tap Apple TV to stream to the TV through the Apple TV box. Tap iPad
(or whatever device name has been set) to watch on the iPad.
