Apple Airplay 2 AV Receiver

What is AirPlay? AirPlay is a transmission standard that works wirelessly. It is used to distribute media files via suitable technological components.
These files can be photos, music or videos. The connection technology is especially suitable for owners of an Apple product such as iPhone or iPad. The basis for the system is WLAN. Now, the Apple device must be in the Wi-Fi network, as well as the receiving device, on which the media files will be visible afterwards. The difference between AirPlay and AirPlay 2 is that the latter adds some existing capabilities.
For example, AirPlay 2.0 allows multiple Apple devices to be synchronized. With the help of an iPhone connected to AirPlay 2, phone calls do not have to be interrupted during music streaming. Likewise, as a new feature, content can be conveniently controlled by Siri via an Av receiver AirPlay 2*.

Retrofit AirPlay 2 with adapter

If an older AV receiver does not have AirPlay 2, then suitable adapters provide a remedy. Apple TV is a proven method. This makes the connection of iPhone and AV receiver possible.
The connection takes place via the HDMI interface. Especially the amplifiers with many HDMI ports usually have an HDMI access in the front area. This makes a quick connection from the Apple TV possible.
