Beamer

Which video formats does Beamer support?
We support all common formats. You can easily download the trial to test any obscure file format you may have. We strive to support as many video formats as possible. If you have a video that doesn't work, we'd love to hear about it.

Why is Beamer not in the Mac App Store?
It was turned down for using undocumented Apple technology. We use an undocumented way to talk to the Apple TV with AirPlay. While this is unsupported by Apple, it works well in practice.

Does Beamer support subtitles?
Not yet. We want to do this right.

Does Beamer do Screen Mirroring?
No. Screen Mirroring uses different AirPlay technology. We currently have no plans to support Screen Mirroring.

Beamer requires a Mac (2007 and up), OS X 10.6+ (Snow Leopard or Lion) and Apple TV (2nd or 3rd generation).
