    that is fantastic Brad… great find.

  3. […] have heard about AirServer on a few blogs but saw it in action for the first time on churchmediadesign.tv.  Click that link and meet my friend Brad, cmd.tv is one of my favorite […]

    this is amazing, but how did you actually get the two different devices unto the screen using the air server?

    Good Info – One note – Reflection has the option to disable the Phone look and go to screen only as well

    We also utilize this device to feed our apple TV direct to our projectors – http://www.amazon.com/SANOXY-Audio-Converter-Supp

    Is there a way to then load Air Server into Pro Presenter, so you can select it as you can with a video source, like putting it through cam twist?

      Did you get any where with this? We have ProPresenter and would like to be able to use the iPad during service to draw/write.

    Do you download the program on your COMPUTER only OR BOTH MAc & iPad? Please advise thanks

      You only need to add the airserver app to your mac. On your iPad you just have to go to the airplay option and find your computer.

    So, maybe I missed it, but can this be done without mirroring output to go on a projector? We'd like to have what is on the iPad go to the screens in the sanctuary but do not want to mirror the screen from the computer because we use ProPresenter presentation software. Can you help?

      To utilize ProPresenter and an iPad you would run both ProP and AirServer at the same time, and when you want to show AirServer you would toggle the output of ProPresenter off. I have tried this and it works but I did have a noticeable slow down in ProP.
