#### AirTunes v1 / RAOP (2004)
|
|
|

First generation of apples remote streaming protocol. Introduced on the Airport Express as a way to play music remotely from iTunes.

|
|
|
#### AirPlay (2010)
|
|
|
|
|
|
Second generation. This next iteration introduced an improved version of AirTunes (v2) and added a second protocol stack called AirPlay that added support for video, photos, and screen sharing. Note that AirPlay is both the name for the video streaming protocol and the name that Apple markets the the AirTunes/AirPlay combination as.
