Using Your iPhone/iPad as a Remote Control
With the Show app on your iPhone/iPad, you can connect and deliver slides on the big Apple TV screen. Once your iPhone/iPad is connected with the Apple TV, you can start using your phone as a remote to control slides on the big screen. You can even allow your audience to follow on a slide deck across multiple Apple TVs by controlling slides from a single mobile device. The Remote View of your Phone comes with a lot of exciting features to deliver your slides to the audience as you move around a presentation hall. Also, now you can carry your iPhone or iPad all the time with you without the need to hold another remote.
