Miracast

<p>Miracast is a <a href="/facts/Wireless/GfDoFwfo">wireless communications</a> standard created by the <a href="/facts/Wi-Fi_Alliance/wLKqvvJW">Wi-Fi Alliance</a> which is designed to transmit video and sound from devices (such as laptops or smartphones) to display receivers (such as TVs, monitors, or projectors). It uses <a href="/facts/Wi-Fi_Direct/TPsMzG4L">Wi-Fi Direct</a> to create an <a href="/facts/Wireless_ad_hoc_network/Gwb3FlAD">ad hoc</a> encrypted wireless connection and can roughly be described as "<a href="/facts/HDMI/HuNwzm04">HDMI</a> over <a href="/facts/Wi-Fi/u94quCsx">Wi-Fi</a>", replacing cables in favor of wireless. Miracast is utilised in many devices and is used or branded under various names by different manufacturers, including Smart View (by Samsung), SmartShare (by LG), screen mirroring (by Sony), Cast (in Windows 11) and Connect (in Windows 10), wireless display and screen casting.
</p><p>A related enterprise protocol named Miracast over Infrastructure (MS-MICE) functions using a central <a href="/facts/Local_area_network/edUDxJ6J">local area network</a> instead, and is supported in <a href="/facts/Microsoft_Windows/bwhAhuSL">Microsoft Windows</a>.
