Apple TV display mirroring spectrum use in HD wifi

Of the folks who are allowing users to do bonjour services over wifi. Either thru native multicast , or the enhancements from the various wifi vendors. Has anyone noticed spectrum issues in dense classrooms? I have a department who is proposing 12 screens with 12 apple tvs in room with 180

Given that this is our first semester broadcasting the eduroam at Syracuse University, I wanted to dig into how the new service was being used on campus. I really didn't expect much, but am already impressed. In the last two weeks, we've seen logged in eduroamers from: US * Cornell *

Lee, I have yet to encounter a WLAN admin that wasn't intrigued by the diversity of visitors when eduroam is enabled. And this is the low season for eduroam at the moment! Check the graph of the US top levels at https://www.eduroam.us/node/232 If I may ask, how many non eduroam visitors do you

I think most of all, they wouldn't like the results even if the wireless worked. I imagine instructors will at some point expect to be able to mirror a single device to all twelve screens at once, so they all show the same thing, and I don't believe that Apple's AirPlay will work that way. It's my

Yes that's definitely the plan to wire the apple tvs. The way they envision this is having 12 displays and have students break out into smaller study/collaboration groups on the fly, with modular furniture that they can move to accomadate. So it wouldn't be an individual instructor

I give Cisco and Aerohive, etc. great credit for building in techniques that might help solve Apple's problems, but also not buying in to making the network jump through hoops for one device and client type. To allow for display mirroring (and a lot more functionality) for ALL device types we

We aren't doing anything to that density but are implementing something somewhat similar right now. Would certainly be interested to see hear how you go. We are doing 3 rooms with these as a bit of a pilot http://www.mersive.com/products/solstice/ It's basically software that runs on Windows

Our initial idea is for Solstice on our teaching station PCs, generally one per room (hundreds of them). Then there will likely be other creative uses to be discovered. Works elegantly on LAN/WLAN with nothing unique required of the network, so you can envision all sorts of collaboration

Sounds like a much bigger implementation plan than ours :) I feel we may end up on that kind of path, but to begin with it will just be a smaller pilot. and see where it goes from there I do like no effort in the network apart from ensuring ample bandwidth. -- Jason Cook The University of

Hi James, You are right it doesn't do mirroring as such for IOS. The mersive guys are pretty helpful, if you are interested it would be worth having a chat with them anyway, they might be pushing for such a feature in the future. As you say ultimately it's about choosing something that fits

I've been **very** happy using AirServer (www.airserverapp.com) instead of AppleTVs for mirroring. The software installs to a PC or Mac, and allows the computer to act as an AppleTV. It even supports multiple-simultaneous connections and recording(!) - (recording is currently Mac only, coming soon
