Yea! It’s another Techy Thursday… How much of your Android
do you know? Let’s talk about Cast screen and how you can use it.

What is Cast screen?
It is a technology that allows a person to display whatever
is visible on his/her device’s screen on another screen, mostly wirelessly
using WiFi as a medium for sharing the screen.

Screen cast varies with different companies-Intel has their
proprietary Intel Wireless Display (WiDi) for Laptops, Apple has its own
AirPlay protocol, and there is indeed an open standard too-Miracast, which is
what any Android/Windows Phone with the “cast screen” button
utilizes.

How Does it Works?
1. Make sure you are connected to the same Wireless LAN/WiFi
network on both devices

2. Turn on the screen mirroring feature on the display you
want to cast to, the host display starts a program that acts as a
“server” to handle the exchange of screen casting data. If there are
more devices connected to that Wireless network, they’ll equally be display.

3. Press the “cast screen” button on your phone or
tablet, and it will try to identify all devices that are on the same Wifi/WLAN
network and are running a screencast server on their system.
tablet, and it will try to identify all devices that are on the same Wifi/WLAN
network and are running a screencast server on their system.
3. Now once both the device and the display have been connected,
a cast screen connection will be initiated. The device uses programs to record
its own screen and sounds and encodes them into the H.264 video format, which
can be streamed or sent to a display immediately at the same time as
recording-YouTube and almost every video website uses H.264 to serve videos to
mobile devices.

Think of your phone casting the screen as a live video
transmitter and your display as a live broadcast video player. Since our
transmitting device and our receiving player are on the Wireless Local Area
Network part of your wifi connection and not the Internet, they are attached to
each other as if connected by physical cables-which makes the screen cast
process fast enough to display live images on both screens at the same time.

If it is an android phone, it should have.
Wow thanks for sharing prof. Please prof rate this my blog http://careinsure.blogspot.com/ i know this is not the right place but kindly help thank you.
Absolutely wrong thread.
@anonymous, nobody is forcing you to get one. Almost if not ALL android 5.0 upward are miracast enabled. Some called theirs "miracast" others called it "cast screen". Also, MOST of today's flat screen televisions are miracast supported.
Ignorance is never a disease, it's WILLFUL indulgence in ignorance that make it a disease.
Because you know about it ?
Others who know is now a disease carrier.
@Nelson, everyone is entitle to air his or her opinion. Someone sees Cast screen as a complete waste of time, another sees it as a valuable information. No matter what, information is power. You never can tell when or where you'll need it or use it.
