Our mobile phone has become a device that goes far beyond what they were initially used for. Although making and receiving calls remains one of its main functions, it is true that since the arrival on the Internet the possibilities of these small devices have multiplied by a thousand: Search for information, use the camera to take photos or record, use GPS to find a location or use different applications are no doubt everyday actions..
Another of the main features we give to these devices is to play video on them, through platforms such as YouTube . This is very good to liven up routes or wait, but it is true that if we are at home the screen of our smartphone can stay small, and more when we are in an evening with more people. In these cases, connecting the mobile phone to the TV seems like a good idea to reproduce the content on a larger screen. Two types of technology are used to perform this action: Miracast and DLNA
What is Miracast?
Miracast technology reproduces basically the same effect as when connecting an HDMI cable between the smartphone and the TV, but wirelessly between both devices, that is, we do not need a cable to perform the action.
What is DLNA?
It corresponds to the acronym Digital Living Network Alliance and is a technology that allows you to reproduce the photos and videos that we view on our smartphone on TV, but in such a way that the content is reproduced but not the screen itself.
