Digital media players other than Apple TV were considered by the design team, but Apple TV was ultimately
selected because, as was the case with the PCs, it was already widely used at the university. The Miracast receiver
allows external multimedia content, including high resolution images and high-definition video, to be wirelessly
shared to the primary AV stand via Wi-Fi from any Miracast-enabled bring your own device (BYOD), such as a laptop,
tablet, or smartphone. Miracast is an industry standard established by the Wi-Fi Alliance that enables seamless
display of multimedia content between Miracast-enabled Wi-Fi devices, even if a Wi-Fi network is not available.
Figure 6 shows the primary AV stand interconnections.
