Miracast is a groundbreaking solution for seamlessly displaying multimedia between devices, without cables or a network connection. Microsoft Wireless Display Adapter uses Miracast technology which basically streams or rather mirrors your phone’s screen to the television.
#WIRELESS DISPLAY ADAPTER REVIEW ANDROID#
Microsoft Wireless Display will work with Windows devices and Android devices but not iOS devices, whereas Google Chromecast will work with Android devices and iOS devices but not Windows devices. So I am not too sure why Microsoft would price the Microsoft Wireless Display Adapter at US$59.95 when the Google Chromecast is only retailing for US$35. Despite their differences, I don’t think their prices should vary that much. In fact, both of them are quite different. One other advantage of both systems is that they can support non-PC devices such as media players, digital cameras, and Linux based development boards that don’t support Miracast – and are extremely secure .Microsoft Wireless Display Adapter which retails for S$110 in Singapore can be mistaken for Microsoft’s version of Google Chromecast. Also – it supports Miracast directly, so if you want to present without a button, you can mirror your screen directly from a Windows device (or via Airplay on the Mac). With 4K resolution output and the ability to split the screen four ways – the system is ideal for brainstorming and collaborative work. The InstaShow S has all the features most companies would ever want in a wireless HDMI meeting room system. It comes with two buttons and a tabletop holder to keep everything neat.

The system is very easy to use and doesn’t require any apps or special software to be loaded onto a presenters device . You plug in a “button” which is a wireless HDMI transmitter to your notebook or mobile device, and with one tap – start presenting to the screen. The BenQ InstaShow WDC-10 is an example of an entry-level wireless HDMI system designed for meeting room collaboration.

The most popular systems such as the Barco ClickShare or BenQ InstaShow can use dedicated buttons , as well as wireless apps - and support Miracast as well as other streaming protocols such as AirPlay for Mac OS and iOS devices to make connecting to the display as easy as possible.

Support for major notebook and mobile operating systems.Instant switching between multiple presenters.These systems are more expensive than free apps or inexpensive dongles – but deliver a number of unique benefits that are needed in typical for a typical meeting room or huddle space. While Miracast can be a great technology to wirelessly mirror your computer screen to a meeting room display, the wireless HDMI presentation systems that are actually designed for meetings are the most popular ones according to BYOD devices Futuresource .
#WIRELESS DISPLAY ADAPTER REVIEW MAC OS X#
While the QCast supports all major types of computers and mobile devices via an app, there is no compatibility with any Mac OS X or iOS devices with the Microsoft Wireless Display Adapter, and only limited support for some Android devices.One additional consideration is that it is difficult to ensure that wireless content is not being seen or recorded by an unauthorized employee or hacker ,since the wireless transmissions may be able to be received outside the conference room or huddle space. While these are inexpensive Miracast alternative solutions, they may not be what you need for collaboration meeting rooms where BYOD devices are common.
#WIRELESS DISPLAY ADAPTER REVIEW 1080P#
For $39, this plugs into the HDMI and USB port on a TV or projector and enables you to send a Miracast signal from up to 23 feet away.Īnother popular solution is the BenQ QCast Video Streaming Dongle , which is designed to run on many of the popular BenQ projectors and can wirelessly stream your videos, movies, documents, websites, and live video sessions to any display with 1080p image quality and smooth 30fps video. Since many companies use displays without integrated Smart TV software in meeting rooms, one inexpensive alternative is the use of Miracast with a Microsoft Wireless Display Adaptor.
