I haven't tried AppleTV's Airplay, but I think it just mirrors your desktop correct? So theoretically you could just run Steam's Big Picture Mode off of a Mac and use AirPlay to stream it to your TV?
- dantiberian 14y agoYou could but I suspect the latency might make most games unplayable.
- ConstantineXVI 14y agoI've attempted this; AirPlay does in fact lag too much for this to be useful.
- tomkit 14y agoSeems like Apple hasn't mastered video streaming compression as well as OnLive. OnLive seemed pretty playable to me when I tried it.
- ConstantineXVI 14y agoOnLive's protocol seems to be far more willing to sacrifice frames and quality to keep everything in sync; where AirPlay will (in my experience) hold up the stream until every last frame gets through, sync be damned. Also, AirPlay doesn't modify apps or input at all to compensate for the lag to the TV.
