Hi James, Not sure what you're looking at, but AppleTV has nothing to do with Mersive. I'm not trying to sell their stuff, just quite fond of it after the frustrations of what the network needs to have done to it (bigger networks are worse) for AppleTV.
I see TCO of AppleTV as $99 (for AppleTV) + lots of hours dorking with the network + lots of support issues when it becomes a service so relied on that it simply can't tolerate almost-guaranteed disruption/unpredictability + time spent trying to accommodate non-Apple devices = AppleTV actually costs hundreds (or thousands) of dollars and leaves you with a network you'd probably prefer not to have, and a fragmented "what device can do what" environment for diplay mirroring. I like the Mersive paradigm as an alternative- it asks nothing of the network. Although I'd still like to see Apple fix their own limitations. -Lee Lee H.

We are negotiating on $$ with Mersive after successful demos Does it actually mirror any iOS display natively? I had a quick look at the datasheet and it says "Mirror iOS content via Apple TV connection". We got a demo of Crestron AirMedia yesterday and were unimpressed with its lack of mirroring from iOS - you can only display from their app. If we were happy with that, our projectors (Epson) have their own app available now. For us, being a K-12 school that only has Apple devices, the Apple TV is a no brainer given its price. -- James Andrewartha Network & Projects Engineer Christ Church Grammar School Claremont, Western Australia Ph.
