Can I record Apple TV 2nd gen to Mac (tutorial purpose)

[stera8]

I know I can record QuickTime videos from a new Apple TV via the USB-c port. In school, we have 2nd generation Apple Tvs. I want to plug it into my computer and record to show teachers how to change certain settings within the Apple TV for their classroom.

Is this possible with the 2nd generation?

Possibly. You probably need to buy something to convert HDMI out of TV into a signal that can be screen grabbed (perhaps with another piece of hardware?).

Or while it probably wouldn't look as good, you might aim a camera at the TV and capture your demos that way.

If you have a projector, you could project the image onto a screen (not made of glowing phosphors/LCDs) and then aim a camera at that image for your demos too.
