A quick video of AirPlay in Mountain Lion. There’s also a nice post over at 9to5mac that discusses the new feature.
I love their tip for getting around the campus wifi issue. That’s something I’ve been battling lately as well.
Better yet, using AirPlay Mirroring on 2011 Mac notebooks does not need a local wireless network, because the machine can create an ad hoc wireless network to pair with the Apple TV. This is gold for road warriors and educators who only need a MacBook and an Apple TV to present their portfolio or teaching material on the big screen.
