First off, you need an Apple TV.

You need an AppleTV and have both the AppleTV and the iPad connected to the same wifi network.

If you have a Mac you can stream video to it using AirPlay for mac:
Index of /ftp/AirPlay

The airplay button does not show up unless it finds an Airplay device on the network.

Airplay is a feature provided by apple to stream your local video/audio to apple tv or other airport express device.

To do an airplay you need an apple tv , an iOS device or PC/Mac, local WLAN network, an HDMI supported TV.

what's the difference between airplay and homesharing?

what's the difference between airplay and homesharing?

AirPlay pushes media to an Apple TV or an Airport device from an iOS or OSX device - no iTunes Store account name and password is required. It's great at getting media from visitor's machines and devices onto your telly without giving them access to your iTunes account.

Home Sharing pulls media from a Mac computer (OSX device) and can only be shared with devices connected by the iTunes account information. Once it's set up, it provides easy, one-step access to your media.
