sending content from Macbook Pro to Apple TV

Have had Apple TV for a year, and am still don't know how to send movies from the laptop (Mavericks) to Apple TV. Have turned on Home Sharing, but what then?


Is a cable necessary? A good wireless (Verizon) network is available.


If someone could post a step-by-step procedure I'd be very grateful.

iPad 2, iOS 5.0.1
