How big is iPad Mini 4 for airplay?

How does airplay work on my Apple TV?

The Airplay signal must go from the phone/iPad to the Apple TV wirelessly. For my iPad, which is 2732×2048, that seems like a whole lot of data to send uncompressed… probably impossible with current wifi speeds. So, I’m assuming there must be some compression of the data as sent between the iPad and the Apple TV.

So, based on the “original resolution” and “will be up/down scaled” comments you’re suggesting my iPad 12.9″ with resolution 2732×2048 will have that full (“original”) resolution sent via AirPlay. Ignoring frame rate for now, assuming I plugged into a UHD (2160p) TV, I’d get a 2160p image?

What does mirroring mean on an Apple TV?

Mirroring is exactly what it says. It mirrors the screen of the device you are Mirroring from. So if that’s an iPhone for example the original resolution will be (say) 1242×2208 which will then be up/down scaled according to output requirements, the frame will depend on the original source.
