Channel
menu, Media Player will attempt
to log-on to the specified server with the provided credentials. If login succeeds, Media Player will then
request a video stream with the specified Source (Reporter) name; if found, the stream will start. This
process can take up to a minute.
Note: The Source (Reporter) name should not be the same as the user (login) name. For example, if the
username is David, the Source (Reporter) name could be David1 or any other name except David itself.

Setting up Pro Monitors for HDR & Dolby Vision
Apple TV is primarily designed for consumer TV’s. By default, the
HDR output of the Apple TV is
Rec.2020 (PQ). Thus, when using a Pro Monitor that does not utilize HDR or Dolby Vision metadata,
you need to manually set the monitor to Rec.2020. Dolby Vision metadata is not directly supported but
Dolby Vision workflow is supported with Professional Monitors and iCMU.
