Apple TV is a useful tool to facilitate wireless presentation of lectures or meetings.
Locations in use
- Gross Anatomy lab (3 locations)
- Perry Conference Room (BPRH Building M+V 2nd Floor).
To present via wireless, you must be using a laptop running Apple's Mountain Lion Operating System or newer, or have an iPhone, iPod, or iPad running iOS 4.3 or later.
You must also be connected to the Tufts wireless network (tuftswireless) in order to see the Appletv. If you are on the Tufts wired network or the Tufts guest wireless network, you will not be able to see the AppleTV.
Connecting to the AppleTV
The Gross Anatomy Lab Apple TVs are not currently restricted, but may be restricted with a password if abused.
The Perry Conference room is restricted via password controlled by the Office of Information Technology.
To connect to the AppleTV, you may either connect via specific applications that show the AppleTV button when you are within range, or you can perform screensharing by double-clicking the button on your iOS device and sliding the pop-up tray to the left. You will then see an AppleTV button.
