Bluetooth is digital but it is compressed.
If you took a lossless source and sent it by Bluetooth it would be
re-encoded in a compressed format which in turn is de-coded and
decompressed by the target receiver. AirPlay however is not compressed.

I am not sure that there is a video capability within Bluetooth anyway.
