airplay sharing mac book pro screen to tv

How do you share your Mac Book Pro screen with Apple TV? I can view my itunes videos, music, photos, but I am not able to mimic my Mac Book Pro screen with my HDTV. Both Apple TV and my Mac Book Pro are on same WiFi network.

MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.7.5)

About AirPlay and Airplay Mirroring


AirPlay Mirroring requires a second-generation Apple TV or later, and is supported on the following Mac models: iMac (Mid 2011 or newer), Mac mini (Mid 2011 or newer), MacBook Air (Mid 2011 or newer), and MacBook Pro (Early 2011 or newer). For non-qualifying Macs you can try using Air Parrot.
