What does this driver do?
This Apple TV (4th & 5th 4K Generation) Driver for ELAN allows for the integration and control of an Apple TV 4th generation or an Apple TV 4K (5th generation) from ELAN.
Features:
- Fully compatible with tvOS 13 and 14
- Newly re-written using Apple’s official control protocol (Media Remote Protocol)
- Two way IP control
- Full Meta Data
- Press to Scroll transport commands
- Self-Healing: The driver maintains a heartbeat style connection with the Apple TV so when a connection issue arises (reboot, power cut, network loss) the system automatically attempts to re-establish communications.
- Please Note – We only support final release Apple TV software and do not support any tvOS BETA releases
- Driver uses Intrinsic(Athena) technology for key free licensing, update alerts and enhanced support

- Extra settings and driver feedback in gTools (Explained in the manual)
- There is now the option to select a command to be sent when the Apple TV is first selected and when it is switched off
