How To Duplicate Iphone Screen To Tv

Determine available connections

To transfer an image from a laptop to a TV, you need to find out what methods are available for this. First, you should see which ports are present on the TV and laptop, and then decide how best to duplicate the laptop screen.

Ways to display images from a laptop on TV

There are wireless and wired methods for displaying images from a laptop to a TV. With a wired connection, you do not need to have the same ports on both devices. If they are different, then you will need to use adapters. If you need to translate digital data to an analog input, you will need additional converters or attachments.

The disadvantages of a wireless connection are limited bandwidth and possible signal interruption. The disadvantage of connecting via a cord may be the presence of the cord itself, as well as the limit on the length of the cable for different standards. However, if you need to connect a laptop and enjoy viewing, this drawback is completely weightless and will not cause inconvenience.

All modern TVs are equipped with DLNA technology, which allows devices to exchange data within the home network. This can be done both via cable and WI-FI. If there is a connection via WI-FI, then both the laptop and the TV must be connected to it. But the TV will only “see” the shared folders. In order for the TV to have access to all the information, you can open general access to all folders in the “Network” settings on the laptop. But this is not recommended for security reasons. After all, in this case, everyone who will be connected to your network will be able to use your data. Another option is to make a specific folder publicly available.

But for more convenient display of the image on the TV, it is better to download the program. One of the recommended ones is “Home Media Server”. It is free and universal for different TV models, and also has wide functionality. To install on a laptop, just download the application (better on the official website) and run the installation file. After starting the program, in the settings window, you can select the category of media resources and already specify access to folders there.

If your devices support Miracast or Intel WiDi technologies, then it is enough to enable these functions on the TV. Then he can connect wirelessly to your laptop without a router, directly. On the laptop, however, you need to install the appropriate application. But when connected, you can display any picture from a laptop.

If the TV does not have a WI-FI module, then you can use various adapters that can be connected to the HDMI port. For example, one such device is the Google Chromecast, which looks like a USB flash drive. The gadget is designed for streaming multimedia content.

Connection via HDMI can be called optimal in order to transfer media data from one equipment to another. This standard provides high-speed transmission, even of files in ultra HD quality, and transmits not only, but also multichannel sound.

How to output images from a computer to a TV using HDMI? It is enough to connect the two devices with a cable. Then switch to TV AVI mode and select the port to which the cord is connected. On a laptop, you need to call the screen settings and set the required resolution there, as well as select the display of displays. This means that on a laptop you will be able to control both screens, and you will need to select a display for the TV screen. The options are:

• Duplications. The same image on both screens;
• Display on 1 screen. The second one will be turned off;
• Screen extensions. TV will become a second monitor.

Settings may vary depending on the version of the operating system.

The next way is how to transfer the image via DVI. The DVI standard was developed for transferring content to digital devices. Predecessor to HDMI. And, unlike the latter, it does not transmit sound. In this case, you will need a TRS connector or adapter, otherwise called “minijack”. A very popular audio connector, probably familiar to many as an input for connecting headphones. To duplicate the screen of a computer or laptop, you will need to follow the same steps as for HDMI. After connecting, transferring the played file is not difficult.

S-Video

S-is an analog interface. It can only transmit files of standard definition television (576i and 480i), which means that modern speech quality formats are out of the question. Tvs are rarely equipped with such a port, so in order to project an image from a laptop, an S-to RCA adapter is additionally required. Also, do not use an S-cable longer than 2 meters, as this will lead to a deterioration in signal quality. To transfer sound to TV, similar to DVI, you will need to use a “minijack”.

Let’s consider how you can output an image to a TV via USB. In this case, when connecting USB-USB, it will be impossible to view, since this standard is not designed for data transfer. In this option, you can view images, presentations, text documents. With this connection, the TV will see the laptop as a USB flash drive.

But to duplicate the laptop display, you can use the output to the TV’s HDMI port. To do this, you need an adapter, which is an external card. You will need to install the driver from the card to the laptop. When purchasing such an adapter, you should pay attention to the characteristics of the transmitted (Full HD support) and sound.

We have already examined the connection using a local network wirelessly. Lan is a network but wired (Ethernet) connection. If the TV does not have a Wi-Fi module, then you can use this method. To mirror the computer screen to the TV, you will need to follow the same steps as for the WI – FI connection. Namely:

• Connect the TV to the router using a network cable. In this case, the dynamic host configuration protocol (DHCP) must be configured on the network device. Otherwise, you will have to manually register the network settings in the TV;
• Connect your laptop to the same network. Wired or wireless. It doesn’t matter;
• Install the program on the laptop to display files on TV. We’ve already covered the Home Media Server application, which is easy to set up and install;
• Share the required folders. That’s it, now you can transfer images and send for playback.

How is it possible to transfer an image from a computer to a TV using VGA? The VGA standard allows only analog signal transmission without sound. To reproduce sound, you will need an additional adapter with the so-called “tulips” or “minijack” plug. Another option is to leave the sound playing on the laptop or through the speakers connected to it. To do this, you can use the function keys of the laptop. It should display 2 screens, for example, F10Fn (function enable key). It is now possible to show from laptop to TV. When setting up display on a laptop, you can increase the resolution to get a better picture.

The color image is formed by means of three main signals: Red, Green, Blue. If the image is output from such a connector, then it is logical to use the same TV input. RGB replaced Scart when it became impossible to use scarts in thin TVs. Mostly RGB is available on older models. Compatible with Scart and composite RCA (tulip) cables. Or games from the computer monitor to the TV will be broadcasted as with any other cable connection.

9 ways to transfer images from your computer to your TV screen

The laptop is very convenient for work with its dimensions and low weight. But when it comes to viewing or playing games, you want to replace a small monitor with a larger screen. If you have a TV with a large diagonal, you can connect your device to a TV or home theater. In the article, we will consider how you can display an image from a laptop on a TV.

Scart

Scart is a European standard for transmitting analog and digital signals. Has different specifications, respectively, it can transmit different signals (audio channel, control). The convenience of the interface is that it makes it possible to connect a high-quality RGB source to the TV without intermediate coding.

To stream a movie from a PC or laptop, it is better to use a VGA-SCART adapter. This is due to the fact that a large number of TVs are equipped with a SCART connector, and computers. VGA.

If you have a large number of connectors, it is better to choose a wired connection from the latest technologies. The best option is HDMI. In general, setting up your laptop and TV is straightforward. The main thing is to select the input signal on the TV, and on the laptop perform the settings that are required for the corresponding technology.

Mirroring your computer screen to your TV

There are often situations when the monitor size is not enough for comfortable work with a computer. In this case, the computer is connected to a TV or projector and the image is displayed on it. But what if you want the picture to be displayed both on the main computer screen and on an additional TV connected to it? In this article we will show you how to duplicate a screen from a computer to a TV in windows 10. This will require:

• Computer with an unused VGA or HDMI connector
• Cable connecting computer and TV
• TV with the above connectors

Configuring Windows 10

Unlike older versions of the operating system, Windows 10 is the most convenient for working with multiple displays. There are three ways to mirror your computer screen to TV in windows 10.

The first way is the easiest. With the computer turned on, simultaneously press the “Windows” “P” keys. This combination allows you to switch between dual-screen computer modes. It remains only to select the desired mode.

If keyboard shortcuts are confusing to the user, you can use the Windows Action Center. In the lower right corner of the screen, you need to click on the corresponding icon. A window will open in which you need to select the “Send to screen” item. In the appeared menu “Project” select the item “Repeating”.

Enabling Screen Mirroring in Windows 10

If the TV screen resolution is higher than the monitor screen resolution, the picture on the TV display will be centered, surrounded by black borders. In this case, you need to use the following method.

On the desktop, in an unoccupied space, click the right mouse button. A context menu will open, in which you need to select the “Display settings” item. In the window that opens, you need to find the item “multiple displays” and click on the pop-up menu. In it, select the item “Duplicate screen”. After that, be sure to select a TV (screen 2) and check the box “make it the main display”.

Connecting a TV to a Computer

The first thing to start with is choosing a cable. It is required to inspect the back of the system unit and determine which free outputs are present on it.

Description of connectors on the PC card

Then the same thing needs to be checked on the TV. It is required that the same connectors are free on the computer and on the TV. If both ports are free, then it is better to give priority in favor of the HDMI connector, since it has a higher bandwidth, and, therefore, better quality. Plus, HDMI connects not only image but also sound.

If the computer will be connected to the TV via the VGA connector, you should note that on most modern TVs, when connected via this output, the screen resolution will be significantly lower than the “native” TV resolution, which will negatively affect the image quality. In the characteristics of the TV, the screen resolution is always indicated separately when connected via the VGA connector.

After the computer and the TV are connected with a cable, it remains only to indicate on the TV from which connector to receive the image (usually the source button).

Output

From all of the above, we can conclude that connecting a computer to a TV is not so difficult. The main thing is to follow the instructions and everything will work out. This manual is also relevant for connecting projectors and other devices for displaying images from the computer screen.

Intel WiDi and Miracast on TVs

We figured out the devices that will transmit the image over the air, now with regard to the TVs that will display this very image. The TV must either have built-in support for Intel WiDi / Miracast, or you will need to buy a special receiver that plugs into the HDMI connector of your TV.

As far as I understand, almost all TVs of popular manufacturers: LG, Samsung, Toshiba. Starting from the 2013 line, and which have Smart TV support, have built-in receivers and are able to work with the Intel WiDi / Miracast standard.

If the TV does not have built-in support, then, as I already wrote, an external HDMI adapter will help. By the way, the image goes through it even better than through the built-in.

For example, the LG 32LN575U TV is an inexpensive model with a Smart TV function, there is support for Intel WiDi / Miracast. It looks like this:

Perhaps, somehow I will demonstrate the work of this technology, but this will already be in another article.

Image on TV from laptop or smartphone via Wi-Fi

I noticed that many people want, for example, to launch an online movie on a tablet, in a browser and display it on the TV. But in order to broadcast a movie via DLNA, you must first download it. Not everyone likes this, and not everyone knows how to download movies on a tablet or smartphone. If you have a Smart TV, then you can watch online movies directly from your TV, and you do not need any additional devices for this. How to do this, read this article.

There are two main technologies that allow wirelessly duplicating everything that you see on the screen of your laptop or mobile device on a TV. These are Intel Wireless Display (Intel WiDi) technologies, and Miracast. Most likely, you have already heard about these technologies, or saw them in the settings of your devices.

If you explain their work in your own words, then everything happens like this: the image that is displayed on the screen of your computer or mobile device is compressed and transmitted via Wi-Fi to the TV. All this happens very quickly, and the delays are almost invisible.

You just turn on Miracast, or Intel WiDi on the TV (if it supports this technology, if not, you need a special HDMI adapter), and on your mobile device or laptop using a special program, start the broadcast. The devices are connected and the picture is transmitted to the TV. By the way, a Wi-Fi network (router) is not needed at all, the TV itself creates a network to which you just need to connect. Something like Wi-Fi Direct.

At first glance, everything is very simple. But, at the moment, not all devices support these wireless technologies. Although, I think that in a year, this will no longer be a problem.

By the way, Intel WiDi (starting from version 3.5) is compatible with Miracast. Therefore, the technology from Intel can be considered universal.

Which devices support Intel WiDi and Miracast?

For computers (laptops), Intel WiDi technology requires a 4th generation Intel processor, Intel graphics, and an Intel wireless Wi-Fi adapter. As you already understood, not every laptop can boast of such a configuration. Or, you need a special attachment.

If we talk about mobile devices, then they should also support Intel WiDi, or Miracast. If you plan to use these technologies, then see the characteristics of the devices and check the availability of these technologies before buying.

You can see detailed information on devices that support this technology on the official website http://www.Intel.Ua/content/www/ua/uk/architecture-and-technology/intel-wireless-display.html.

How to display an image from a laptop, smartphone, or tablet to a TV over Wi-Fi? TV as a wireless monitor [Intel WiDi and Miracast]

I very often have to answer questions that sound something like this: “Is it possible to use a TV as a wireless monitor for a laptop or smartphone?” “How to display an image on a TV from a tablet, computer, or phone, but not via cable, but via Wi-Fi?” “How to make it so that everything on a tablet or smartphone is displayed on the TV, and that everything is in the air?”.

In this article, I will try to answer the questions posed. We will figure out whether it is possible to display an image on a modern TV without a cable, and how to do this using Intel WiDi or Miracast technologies.

Before proceeding with the main part, in which I plan to tell you how you can still turn a TV into a wireless monitor, you need to understand something:

It can slow down by air, use a cable

If you want to display a picture on TV from your laptop, in order to play games or watch movies, then it is best to do this via an HDMI cable. There should be no problems with a computer, since now almost every laptop, or every card has HDMI, and in TVs this is far from uncommon. How to connect all this, read the article How to connect a TV to a computer (laptop) using an HDMI cable? TV as a monitor.

No wireless technology can deliver the picture quality you get with a digital HDMI cable (at least not yet). Yes, I want it without wires, but with wireless technology, there will be slowdowns, albeit not great. And it’s not very pleasant to play games, or watch movies with some delays in the image.

Display on TV and photos, you can without special technologies

In this article, we are talking about duplicating absolutely everything that happens on the screen of your device to the TV.

But, in order to simply broadcast a photo to TV via Wi-Fi, or from your computer, smartphone, or tablet, you do not need any special technologies. Almost every modern TV supports DLNA technology (if there is a Smart TV, then it definitely does). Computers and mobile devices can also transfer media content using DLNA technology. Android can do it for sure, iOS too (if I’m not mistaken), and in Windows Phone, such an opportunity will appear after updating to version 8.1 (at the time of this writing, the official update will wait about another month).

To set up the broadcast of photos and films over the air from your computer to your TV, see these instructions:

If the first article is suitable only for LG TVs, then the second one can be called universal.

Well, if you still need to completely duplicate the picture on the TV, and even without wires, then read on.

Afterword

Let’s summarize. If you want to use the TV as the main or second monitor for your computer or mobile device, and you do not have an urgent need to connect them over the air, then it is best to do it with a cable. It’s cheaper and the picture quality will be better.

Do not forget that using DLNA technology, and via Wi-Fi, you can broadcast photos and. But you won’t be able to display the image by launching the game in the browser, or on the desktop.

If you still want everything that is displayed on the screen of your computer, smartphone, or tablet to be displayed on the TV screen, then look towards Intel WiDi and Miracast technologies. If your devices do not support these standards, then you will have to buy special set-top boxes and receivers.

If you are only planning to buy new devices, and are going to use these wireless technologies, then before buying, see if they support these standards.

I recommend still looking at the topic. Review of Intel WiDi technology from Natasha.

How to display photos from iPhone to TV to watch movies?

What if your TV or set-top box doesn’t have built-in AirPlay support? We will work through DLNA. To connect iPhone to Samsung, Sony or LG TV, you need to install a separate program. You can find a large number of them on the AppStore, but I personally use TV Assist.

But if you don’t have one, you can connect a Miracast adapter to your TV. With it, you can display a picture from absolutely any device. Via Intel WiDi from a computer or laptop on Windows, from a MacBook on MacOS or an Android smartphone.

There are many models of such adapters. I use Rombica SmartCast, which is versatile and works with all of the above technologies. That is, it can either just display a photo or a photo on a TV, or duplicate a screen.

To do this, simply connect your TV and phone to the same wifi network. Pull the bottom curtain on the iPhone and select “Screen Repeat”

Transferring images ands from the Iphone is available in various ways, and it is not at all necessary to purchase additional equipment. Modern mobile devices have essential built-in functions.

Connection via other set-top boxes

As mentioned above, you don’t have to choose an expensive AppleTV to equip your TV with smart features. There are other set-top boxes that also allow you to connect your iPhone to any TV.

How to connect iphone to TV via HDMI cable or analog jack

Apple’s mobile gadgets use a proprietary connector. Depending on the models, this is 30-pin, as in the iPad, iPhone 4, or iPod touch (4th generation), or Lightning 8-pin, starting with the iPhone 5 and iPod Touch 5th generation. A large number of various accessories are produced for such standards, including the Digital AV Adapter. A digital adapter that allows you to duplicate digital content from an iPhone, iPad or iPod to a TV screen. It has an HDMI interface which is available on most modern LCD TVs. To connect a mobile device to a widescreen panel using such an accessory, an HDMI cable is required, which is also sold separately.

If there is no possibility of transferring from iphone via HDMI to TV, a composite or component cable can help. This is a standard that is simply called “tulip”. This option is suitable for television equipment that has an analog connector. In this case, you need to purchase a composite or component AV cable from Apple as an adapter for your mobile device, respectively.

Instructions for connecting an iPhone to a TV via a cable.

1. Connecting the adapter to the phone.
2. Connecting HDMI, Composite or Component Cable to TV.
3. Turning on the TV and switching it to the corresponding input signal mode.
4. After everything is connected, it is easy to display from the iPhone to the TV screen. You just need to turn on the on your mobile device.

Ways to connect Iphone to TV

Synchronization of these devices for broadcasting and transmission of images using a cable is possible in the following ways.

1. Via HDMI cable or composite connector. If the TV does not have the ability to connect to a wireless network, this is the most budgetary option for how to transfer media content.
2. Using proprietary AirPlay technology.
3. Via an optional Apple TV set-top box. Thanks to this device, even the simplest modern TV without Smart TV can be turned into a powerful multimedia center. Of course, purchasing such a media player just for the purpose of broadcasting from iphone to TV is not rational. If the user’s goal is not only to connect a gadget, but also to equip his TV with other useful functions, it is worth thinking about such TV equipment. The choice here is not limited only to “apple” technology: Smart TV set-top boxes are offered by many manufacturers.
4. Via wireless DLNA connections. If the TV has the function of connecting via WI-FI, then the synchronization issue can be solved without additional equipment. It will be enough to install a free application on your gadget and connect to TV.
5. Via Chromecast device. This is a small digital media player from Google. Using it, you can also connect the iPad to the TV.
