Apple TV is the latest in entertainment, bringing together movies, music, videos, podcasts and all the best the media industry has to offer today. The set-top box is very compact, it has a good hard drive if you need to load your own movie from the disc. It syncs with other devices in seconds.
Physically, Apple TV is a flat box in white or black. It has a compact size: no more than a standard book. The Apple TV set-top box connects to the TV via wires, and to computers, tablets and even smartphones based on iOS - via the Internet.
Inside the Apple TV box is a 40 GB hard drive, a processor, a board with connectors and devices for wireless communication. By its properties, the set-top box resembles a media player. But during the development, the manufacturers relied not on a hard drive or plug-in media, but on synchronization via the iTunes service. Thus, it turns out that the files necessary for viewing are located on one of the Apple servers.
What can you watch through the Apple TV set-top box? On the Internet, you can find more than 350 TV shows, 4 million songs, about 250 films as DVDs, more than 5,000 clips, numerous radio stations, audiobooks and podcasts. On iTunesTopMovies, movie trailers are the very first to appear - for a true movie fan, this opportunity to get acquainted with the latest releases of the global film industry is invaluable.
Apple TV lets you watch movies in true HD quality. It is very convenient that the set-top box is equipped for both MAC and PC computers, so the use of Apple TV is also available for Windows users. The only requirement is to have iTunes installed starting from version 7.1 and later. Your personal videos, audios, and photos uploaded to iCloud will also be viewable on Apple TV.
Control is carried out using a remote control from Apple. It's called very simply: Apple Remote. A mini-device, somewhat reminiscent of an iPod, will help solve all the problems in managing Apple products. Apple Remote contains just a few commands: forward, backward, Play, pause, menu and volume control.
