Our phone has become an indispensable device for most of us. We use it for many things such as surfing the web, taking photos, making calls, communicating through social networks or instant messages and a long etc.
Another of the uses we can give to our Smartphone is to connect it to our TV or even a projector, in order to reproduce the contents of the phone on a large screen. Different technologies are used for this, but the most famous is DLNA and Mirecast.
Miracast
Miracast, it is a technology very similar to the well-known HDMI, but without the need for cables since the connection occurs wirelessly between the Smartphone and the Smart TV.
What is DLNA?
DLNA is a technology that refers to the acronym Digital Living Network Alliance.
It is a service that allows us to play photos and videos stored on our smartphone on the TV or projector screen. The content is played but not the screen itself.
Requirements
- That our mobile is compatible: This is verifiable if the option "Share screen" or "Duplicate screen" appears in the phone screen settings
- That our TV is compatible
If one of these two conditions is not met, the use of adapters designed for this purpose will be necessary.
