8.Miracast Connection
Miracast is a peer-to-peer wireless screencast standard
formed via W i-Fi Direct connections in a manner similar
to Bluetooth. It enables wireless or wired delivery of
compressed standard or high-definition video to or
from desktops, tablets, mobile phones, and other
devices. Both the sending and receiving devices must
support Miracast for the technology to work.
Miracast allows a portable device or computer to send,
securely, up to 1080p HD video and 5.1 surround sound
(AAC and AC3 are optional codecs, mandated codec is
linear pulse-code modulation — 16 bits 48 kHz 2
channels). However, it works only over W i-Fi and cannot
be used to stream to a router access point.
