Can DLNA projection still be used? How to use the setup method?
The DLNA screen projection protocol can still be used. It was born in 2003, aiming to organically integrate independent televisions and related devices (amplifiers, speakers, DVD/Blu ray players), PCs and related devices (digital cameras, music players), and mobile phones in the home, so that multimedia content can be conveniently played on various devices.
DLNA screen mirroring is a feature that shares media content (such as images, videos, and music) between different devices through wireless networks. The following are the basic steps for DLNA screen projection:
- Ensure device and network compatibility: Ensure that your device (such as a smartphone, computer, or TV) supports DLNA functionality. This usually requires confirmation in the device settings.
- Connecting devices to the same network: In order for DLNA projection to work, all devices must be connected to the same network, whether it is Wi Fi or wired.
- Enable DLNA feature: Set relevant settings on each device that supports DLNA feature to enable it. This may be found in the settings menu of your phone, the operating system settings of your computer, or the settings of your TV.
- Select media files for screen mirroring: Select the media files you want to share on your phone or other devices, such as pictures, videos, or music.
- Choose a DLNA receiving device: Choose a DLNA receiving device, which is usually your TV. Find and select the appropriate input source or input mode on the TV.
- Start DLNA projection: Use the DLNA control function of the relevant device, such as the input button on the remote control, or find the DLNA projection option on the device to start projecting the selected media file onto the TV.
However, the DLNA screen mirroring protocol has its limitations, such as high screen mirroring delay and inability to display full screen. Although some phones can directly connect to a TV through an HDMI cable, these issues may still exist.
Overall, although the DLNA screen projection protocol has some limitations and defects, it is still a feasible solution in certain situations.
