Q: Why mac mirroring is not perfect like iphone, ipod or ipad mirroring??
Macbook Pro 13 inch Mid 2012 and Apple TV 3rd generation. 10mbps, when I load a movie on my mac and I mirror it to Apple TV it´s seem lagged and I can´t enjoy the movie. I´ve seen that for other peoples happen the same thing. Please update OS X El Capitan software and do it on Mac OS Sierra because I and other peoples would like to watch movies on Apple TV running good and enjoy it.
MacBook Pro, OS X El Capitan (10.11.6), Mid 2012

The lag with mirroring is partly due to the extra processing required. As the screen is updated in the computer frame buffer, mirroring uses magic code running in the graphics chip to generate compressed H.264 video, which is then transmitted to ATV over the network. That complex process cannot be instantaneous, while the audio can be transmitted with little delay.
