My Search-Fu is weak. What Apple TV allowed 1080p AirPlay?

What’s the earliest Apple TV that can Airplay 1080p resolution? Thanks.

Pretty sure my AppleTV 4 (later renamed to AppleTV HD) can do it, but I would look for some other confirmation.

I believe ATV 3rd Gen was the first.

That corresponds to what I see in MacTracker, although MacTracker doesn't say this explicitly. It supports that resolution, it supports codecs at that resolution, etc.

That would be the Apple TV (2nd Generation) since March 2012:

It looks to me that it was the Apple TV 3 was actually the one released on March 2012:

The ATV2 was only 720p.

Airplay is an innie protocol, allowing hd on atv2, and reducing output to 720.

You're correct, Mike.
