|
|
|
The MiracleCast project provides software to connect external monitors to your
|
|
|
|
|
system via Wifi. It is compatible to the Wifi-Display specification also known
|
|
|
|
|
as Miracast. MiracleCast implements the Display-Source as well as Display-Sink
|
|
|
|
|
side.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The Display-Source side allows you to connect external displays to your system
|
|
|
|
|
and stream local content to the device. A lot of effort is put into making this
|
|
|
|
|
as easy as connecting external displays via HDMI.
|
|
|
|
|
On the other hand, the Display-Sink side allows you to create wifi-capable
|
|
|
|
|
external displays yourself. You can use it on your embedded devices or even on
|
|
|
|
|
full desktops to allow other systems to use your device as external display.
