What is this symbol on the Remote App screen?

I'm using the latest beta version of iTunes. When using the Remote App, there is a symbol on the lower part of the GUI alongside the Genius symbol. It looks like a TV screen with a swirl in the centre. I can highlight it and it goes blue like AirPlay does when in use, but there is no obvious change to any output either via iTunes or when I use Apple TV. I haven't been able to find any help via the Apple site. Can anyone out there enlighten me please?

Intel iMac 20, Mac OS X (10.6.7), iPad2,Airport, ATV,2 many iPods.

Hi,

I too wondered and then realized it is a screen visualizer. Activate it and then look at the screen of the computer the remote is controlling.

Thanks for the prompt and accurate response TV. I use Remote for AirPlay via either ATV2 or my hifi hooked up to an Airport Express. Since my Mac is in another room I hadn't considered that the symbol was for the computer screen!
