Discovered AirPlay receivers appear in the AirPlay menu.
Bonjour services _airplay._tcp and _raop._tcp need to be advertised on Bonjour gateway
products. Contact your gateway vendor to make sure these services are advertised.
Connectivity
Infrastructure and peer-to-peer are the two supported modes of AirPlay connectivity. If both the
AirPlay sender and receiver support peer-to-peer AirPlay, that’s the preferred data path regardless
of infrastructure availability. Peer-to-peer AirPlay coexists with infrastructure connections, so the
AirPlay client or AirPlay sender can maintain Internet connectivity simultaneously with the peer-
to-peer connection. The 5 GHz band is better for connecting over peer-to-peer AirPlay, because it
provides a fast, direct connection between the AirPlay sender and AirPlay receiver.
Security
AirPlay uses AES encryption to ensure that content remains protected when mirroring or
streaming from an iOS device or Mac to an Apple TV.
AirPlay access to an Apple TV can be restricted by setting an Onscreen Code or Password.
Only users who enter the Onscreen Code (per AirPlay attempt) or Password on their iOS device
or Mac can send AirPlay content to an Apple TV.
Enabling Require Device Verication (Requires an iOS device with iOS 7.1 or later or a Mac with
OS X Mavericks v/10.9.2 or later.) requires the iOS device or Mac to authenticate on the initial
AirPlay connection. Require Device Verication is useful when Apple TV is deployed on an
open Wi-Fi network. To ensure iOS devices and Mac computers are securely paired, the user is
prompted to enter in a one-time Onscreen code. Subsequent connections don’t require a code,
unless Onscreen Code settings are enabled. Restoring an Apple TV or a previously-paired client
to factory settings resets the initial connection condition.
Peer-to-peer AirPlay is always secured with Require Device Authentication. This setting isn’t
congurable by the user, and it prevents any nearby unauthorized users from accessing an
Apple TV.
Note: For devices not on an infrastructure network, Bonjour advertisement of supported
AppleTV devices (A1469 or later) is triggered by Bluetooth.
Standards-based services
With support for the IMAP mail protocol, LDAP directory services, CalDAV calendaring, and
CardDAV contacts protocols, iOS and OS X can integrate with just about any standards-based
environment. And if your network environment is congured to require user authentication and
SSL, iOS and OS X provide a secure approach to accessing standards-based corporate email,
calendar, tasks, and contacts. With SSL, iOS and OS X support 128-bit encryption and X.509 root
certicates issued by the major certicate authorities.
