Comparison of three major screen projection protocols: Miracast, AirPlay, and DLNA
The three mainstream protocols for wireless screen projection are DLNA, Miracast, and Airplay. In the projection mode, DLNA is the push projection mode, while Miracast and Airplay belong to the mirror projection mode! What is the most practical screen projection mode? This issue is actually related to the content, equipment, and scene of the screen projection.
1. DLNA is a push screen projection
After pushing the screen through DLNA, mobile phones and computers are only responsible for pushing and not playing, and the TV directly plays and displays it. But its screen mirroring content is limited to streaming media resources such as audio and video!
We also use this screen casting mode a lot in our daily life, such as casting TV on our phones, chatting on WeChat, browsing social media, and watching movies without interfering with each other; Therefore, in home entertainment viewing scenarios, DLNA push screen mirroring is more suitable, which is currently the most commonly used screen mirroring function in apps such as iQiyi, Tencent Video, and Youku. For example, we play on the TV in the iQiyi/Tencent video playback interface – 【 TV 】 – Living room TV – Mobile interface, without affecting other operations on the phone!
2. Miracast and Airpaly mirror projection
Miracast and Airpaly both belong to mirror projection mode, and the difference between Miracast and Airpaly is that the Miracast projection protocol is mainly applied to Android and Windows systems; The Airpaly screen mirroring protocol currently only supports Apple iOS systems.
After the mirror projection mode is applied to our phone and computer, the large screen remains synchronized with our phone and computer. The advantage of mirrored screen mirroring is that the screen content is no longer limited, as long as the content that can be displayed on our phones and computers can be synchronized on the large screen.
Currently, conferences, multimedia classrooms, and other places place great emphasis on the interaction between presenters and participants. Imagine that the demonstrators share and operate various tasks in front of the large screen, activate speaker mode, and the small screen on the signal end will also change accordingly. After completion, they can also save with just one click on the signal device, isn’t it very nice~
