Apple TV

Apple TV is a digital media receiver made and sold by Apple Inc. Apple TV was unveiled as a work in progress called "iTV" at a press conference in San Francisco, California on September 12, 2006. Apple CEO Steve Jobs demoed a modified Front Row interface using the Apple Remote. Industry experts described the appliance as a "short Mac Mini". In September 2010, Steve Jobs announced a second-generation version of the Apple TV. About a quarter of the size and one-third of the price of the original Apple TV, the new device can stream rented content from iTunes and video from computers or iOS devices via AirPlay. Apple TV outputs video through an HDMI port. While the previous iteration also had component video ports, they were removed in the current generation. The device does not have RCA/composite video or F/RF connectors.
