Outputting via Apple TV to Epson Projectors

[SteveLemin]

Morning,

 

We have just deployed Apple TV's across the site. These are predominantly plugged into Epson X49 projectors which provide an acceptable image quality for classrooms. When setting up the projectors, we focused the image for maximum size to fit the projection board, and this works fine when plugging in Windows 11 laptops with HDMI. When we switch the input to the Apple TV, the image size reduces dramatically and shows the Mac screen but much smaller than what we would expect. What would be the best way to change the image size for the Apple TV, either a setting on the ATV itself or something on the projector?

Many thanks

Steve

By the way, an Apple TV is not a Mac. It is a bit like saying an XBOX is Windows.

 

Anyway... On your Apple TV. Go to settings, Video and Audio. In there under format you should see the resolution. Is this correct?

They used to be

I'll echo the above - check the resolution settings and force them to the resolution you need, I'd strongly suggest not 1080 as those projectors will just try and (badly) scale it. Are the X49's XGA native? 1024x768 native if so.

I'd check, but I'm thankful to have removed the last of our apple TV's, colossal waste of money!

There is an aspect button on the remote.  We just get staff to press that when switching between laptop and apple tv (mirroring).  Works well.
