Getting Started

Always ensure that the Smartboard or projector input is set to the Apple TV before beginning to use it.

Switching to the Apple TV

  1. Touch the white bar at the bottom of the Smartboard and select “Input”
  2. Change the input to HDMI1

Controlling the Apple TV

The AppleTV can be controlled with its remote control, attached to the back of the Smartboard (right side).

Screen Sharing with Apple TV

Apple TVs are configured to broadcast AirPlay (screen sharing) in the format of:

Room [Number] Apple TV

The Apple TV will then display a PIN (numeric code) that must be entered on the connecting phone, tablet or computer. This is to prevent members of the community from accidentally taking over the Apple TV and Smartboard in a different classroom.
