Since the arrival of the internet to mobile devices these small devices have taken a great role in the actions we perform in our day to day. Mobile phones have gone from being devices through which we could make and receive calls and send and receive SMS to a small computer where we can do all kinds of things: from using GPS , searching for information on the internet, chatting and even take and view photographs and videos..
In the current times it is also very common to watch videos of longer duration as movies or series on our smartphones. On some occasions the screen of our phone may remain small and it seems a good idea to reproduce the content of the screen of our mobile phone on our TV.
The technologies that are responsible for making this possible are DNLA and Miracast, and a series of conditions must be met in order to connect the screens of both devices..
What is DNLA technology?
DNLA technology corresponds to the acronym Digital Living Network Alliance, with which through the connection between both devices we can play files such as photos and videos that we are viewing on the screen of our mobile on our TV, but what we can not reproduce It will be the screen itself.
What is Miracast technology?
Miracast technology allows an effective connection between mobile and television similar to that of an HDMI cable but in this case wirelessly. When the screen of our smarthone turns off on television we will also see the screen in black.
Conditions to connect the mobile to the television
- That both have WiFi connection and are connected to the same network
- Have a mobile and a TV compatible with these features
- That our smartphone has the option "Share screen" or "Duplicate screen"
