Hi Alan, The instructions below that I gave you for Making Slideshows is for your ATV 4 1080p unit.
“In the ATV 4K The obvious change, of course, is the adoption of the 4K resolution. Whereas the fourth-generation Apple TV maxed out at 1080p video at 60 frames per second, the new 4K model supports a resolution of 3,840 x 2,160. This means you’ll get much crisper and smoother video than previously, assuming you have a 4K television.” Kind Regards, Ronni Ronni Brown’s iPad Pro 12.9-inch 256GB > On 18 Jul 2019, at 8:39 am, Alan Smith <[email protected]> wrote: > > Hi Ronni > > Thank you for the instructions. > > After a very full week I am now looking at the issues I have with Apple TV. > (BTW, I have a 4th Gen ATV, not a 4K model.) > > The initial impetus for a photos slideshow was that the Aerial screensavers > had become very boring.
