How to cast screen on ios

Although there are more and more things in our mobile phones, including wonderful photos and videos, randomly installed video applications, etc., the mobile phone screen is too small to be shared by the whole family, and it is not as good as a large screen. It feels so good to watch, what should I do? With just a few simple steps, your small screen can instantly become a large screen.

First of all, mobile phones are divided into Android system and Apple ios system. There are different ways to connect to the TV.

Most Android phones with systems running Android 4.2 and above after 2012 support the screen casting function. As for Apple phones, you can also use the airplay function to achieve screen projection.

In fact, the use of this mobile phone to project to the big screen is not just for watching TV series on the mobile phone on TV. It can also be used in video conferences, document presentations, and game presentations. The uses are still wide.

There are also wired and wireless connections for mobile phones to connect to the TV. Abba Assistant is here to introduce one by one:

1. Wired connection method

This method is to connect through MHL to HDMI interface

Someone If you search for "MHL line" on Baoshang, you can find a lot of them.

As for Apple, MHL cables with adapters are also available online, and you can also use Apple’s dedicated adapter equipment

Abba Assistant will post a rough outline of the adapter process for everyone to see.

However, many new smartphones have abandoned this technology.

Because it is very, very inconvenient to use wired connections to connect the TV and mobile phone. Just imagine that you are holding your mobile phone and connecting it to the TV with a thick cable.

The only advantage is that the wire is relatively cheap.

2. Wireless connection method

It is recommended that everyone use wireless connection method, the technology and cost are not high. But it’s much more convenient than wired ones. You can just use your phone as a remote control.

The current mainstream wireless screen projection technologies include Apple's AirPlay and Miracast/WiFiDisplay technologies

They are used on ios and Android platforms respectively.

First, let’s talk about the Miracast/WiFiDisplay technology developed by the Wireless Industry Alliance.

Miracast technology was born in 2012. It is based on the Wi-Fi Direct standard. It does not require any cables, adapters, or routers, and can be used by smartphones, tablets, laptops, and projectors. Stream 1080P video and 5.1 surround sound audio between devices such as smart TVs, TV boxes, etc.

For smartphones, TV boxes, smart TVs and other devices customized based on the Android system, just ensure that the Android system version is 4.2 or higher, and their "Wireless Display" in the system settings The function is derived from Miracast

Of course, the location and name are different in different system settings. On my other phone, it is Settings-Display-Cast.

Many new TVs or projectors now have built-in wireless modules to support native Miracast functionality. Such a device only needs to be on the same wifi as the mobile phone. At the same time, turn on this function and search for matches.

If you have an old LCD TV or monitor at home, you want to connect your mobile phone to wirelessly project the screen. You only need to buy a Miracast adapter (price between 50-300)

Let’s talk about Apple’s exclusive AirPlay

The same device that supports airplay is under the same wifi. Just open airplay on your phone and search for pairing

At present, there are not many devices that natively support airplay, only Apple TV and Xiaomi TV support it. However, airplay is actually just a software protocol, so as long as it is a smart TV, Installing a screen mirroring software (such as airpin pro, LeBo screen mirroring, etc.) will support it.

Of course, for non-smart TVs, you can search for "airplay mirroring" or "mobile phone screen adapter" on a certain website. These products are basically supported by both Android and Apple devices. The prices range from tens to hundreds. I won’t recommend them one by one.

Finally, let me mention the most important point: wireless screencasting must be smooth.

It is very important that mobile phones, routers, and TVs all support 802.11ac 5Ghz mode! If you want to get the best screen projection experience, when purchasing a TV, be sure to confirm whether the TV's wifi module is 2.4ghz and 5ghz dual-band. You should also pay attention to this when choosing a wireless adapter.

Now you can sit on the sofa and watch TV beautifully. Don’t forget to rinse your phone
