I planned on buying an Apple TV unit yesterday but then held back from purchase because I doubted it would work with my MacBook Pro running in Bootcamp, which would be my 'primary' use for mirroring the computer screen when playing games - namely Battlefield 3.
AirPlay lets you stream video and mirror your display from iPhone, iPad, or Mac to Apple TV. It also lets you stream audio to Apple TV and any compatible speakers, including those connected to an AirPort Express router. If you're on the same Wi-Fi network, AirPlay simply connects and starts streaming. AirPlay Mirroring is the best all-round solution as any video your Mac can play will be seen directly on your Apple TV, too. The downside is that your Mac can't be used so if you're someone who likes to browse the web whilst watching a video, this may not be the ideal solution.
- Mirror your desktop using AirPlay Mirroring. Click the AirPlay icon in the menu bar, then choose your Apple TV. When an AirPlay display is active, the icon turns blue. In some cases, you can use an AirPlay display even if your MacBook Air isn’t on the same Wi-Fi network as Apple TV (called peer-to-peer AirPlay).To use peer-to-peer AirPlay, you need an Apple TV (3rd generation rev A, model.

Initially I had been very excited at the news that Mountain Lion gave full Airplay Desktop mirroring ability and had read some articles on the internet that stated it included mirroring 'games' to the Apple TV as well as the ability for displaying any Apps running, i.e. movies, music, user software, internet browsing, games etc.. But while in the retail store and briefly searching the internet on a display Mac; I then naturally concluded that initially this may not be possible within Bootcamp 'unless' there's a small chance that Apple have written the capability to do so within the new 'Bootcamp Assistant Software verion 5' puproted to come with the new Mountain Lion OS and/or if the latest downloadable Bootcamp Support disk image may contain new drivers for such functionality. Does anyone have any knowledge on this?
Naturally if not incorporated within the above mentioned, it would require some kind of driver/software by Apple for it's full functionality within Bootcamp/Windows.
When I installed iTunes for windows in Bootcamp some time ago, it gave me full ability to use my iPhone 4S as an Internet tethering personal hotspot/modem when connected via the iPhone 4S USB Sync cable even without running iTunes, this led me to believe that iTunes installed the necessary and required drivers to use the valuable feature and therefore I'm probably clutching at straws hoping the new Bootcamp Assistant Software verion 5 may similarly do this for Apple TV or maybe not, trouble is I don't want to purchase an Apple TV only to find out that it doesn't!...
