How to stream H.265/HEVC 4K Videos to Apple TV 4/3/2/1 on Mac


As for H.265/HEVC format, I'd like to call it H.265, because it sounds cool, but it's full name is High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC). It's the new successor to Advanced Video Coding (AVC), also known as H.264, which is one of the compression schemes used by Blu-ray. The idea of HEVC is to offer the same level of picture quality as AVC, but with better compression, so there's less data to deal with. 

With the growing popularity of H.265/HEVC video, more and more people want to experience a sense of breathtaking from ultra high definition picture. Apple Supports H.265, but So Far Only in Face-time on an iPhone 6. Can the Apple TV hold or play H.265/HEVC video? The answer is, disappointing, that it should, but not truly can. 

You can convert/decode H.265/HEVC 4K videos for playing on Apple TV 4/3/2/1 without obvious quality downgrade. Here I recommend you a powerful H.265 encoder, decoder and converter--Pavtube iMedia Converter for Mac.
