Can we use Apple TV on our Interactive Whiteboards?
If so what do we need to do?

Hi Victoria,
You will need a projector with an HDMI
input (the same connector as is on most flat-screen TVs). Most
projectors currently in use don’t have that input but yours might.
AppleTV requires that you have an HDMI
capable projector. There are adapters available but none of them are
particularly cheap. Perhaps Jamie can comment on current prices.
Best,
Fraser

Hi Victoria
The
adapter that I mentioned earlier today is the Startech HDMI to Video
adapter. It takes the video and audio from the HDMI on Apple TV and
converts it to VGA for video and a standard audio jack.
As
Fraser noted they are not inexpensive, we supply this one for £90 ex
VAT. They are also quite difficult to source, we have 80 on backorder
currently.
Your mileage
will vary with these adapters as they are not officially supported. I
have witnessed some issues when trying to play purchased iTunes videos
through the adapter.
Post a photo of the inputs of your projector if you're not sure if it has HDMI.
