Not cheap.

Requires the automated table top Filmomat processor. Limited to 2x 15m

Developer is working on a 33mm (100ft) 16mm/R8/DS8 version. Nice to see new

Quite easily.

Connect an Apple TV to your HDMI connector on your TV. Enable Apple's
version of 802.11 Wifi called AirPlay in Apple TV. Enable Airplay in your
iPhone. Pip's new iPhone ISO app content will be mirrored on your TV.  You
can bypass the AppleTV requirement by utilizing select Samsung TV's with
built in AirPlay, i.e.
