KEY FEATURES
• Screen Sharing
Beam your Macs screen right onto your TV. Remote Buddy Display uses our high-performance screen sharing technology, developed from ground-up for tvOS and iOS, with a focus on high framerates and low latency.
• Audio
The built-in Audio Output switcher and volume controls give you control over where your Mac should send audio. By default, Remote Buddy Display selects your Apple TV as System Audio Output when you connect to a Mac - and switches back when you disconnect or switch away from Remote Buddy Display (requires macOS 10.8 or later on the Mac).
