Apple TV - A Photographer's Dream
As many of you know, I've been working feverishly (hah, consequently I do indeed have a fever today) on developing a new studio space. One of the main components, as with many of our studios, is an effective way to showcase content beyond the use of albums and enlargements.
Post-event slideshows and digital proofing sessions are just two things that have become more and more common. As such, photographers have some pretty demanding needs in size and quality of their digital output. We've all tried so many things, either difficult, time consuming, or relatively cluttered with computers and cables tethered to our TVs.
Enter Apple TV! It has Ethernet and Wi-Fi connection. It syncs with OR streams all music, podcasts, and movies in your iTunes Library, syncs with OR streams iPhoto content. This means no time spent creating slideshows, burning discs, hooking up your computer, etc. And best of all...it has HDMI output resolution up to 1080p!
I'll let you know how well it works through regular usage, but so far, it's been a piece of cake and looks great!
