Thanks. Mirrors (no pun intended) our testing here. We would like to have someone produce a device that we can connect to a room projector and have any mobile device do screen mirroring to the projector. iOS, Android, Windows mobile, laptops, anything with built in wifi. So far no such thing exists. We are also watching AirTame closely

Android uses Miracast for screen mirroring. There is chromecast that has some very limited support for mirroring so far. I’ve also seen some android apps that do airplay mirroring but you need a certain android version and rooted device. You can share content with certain android apps to an AppleTV but we are primarily interested in Mirroring. It opens up many more possibilities using the device and several companies have already tackled content sharing across devices like crestron, epson, panasonic, and a lot of other vendor specific hardware/apps. I’m also watching the AirTame project closely.

The appletvs used wired connections and a list is presented to the user they can select from. We’ve recently also added Reflector and AirServer support in an upcoming 1.2 release and finished a working OS X version this week. It works off a backend server that holds all the manual registrations for devices. https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/mirror-by-penn-state/id811297100?mt=8 We are going to be testing it out this Fall with a few faculty/classes. The nice thing is it allows connections across our campuses and on networks where bonjour is disabled. We are keeping an eye on the bluetooth discovery and iOS8 adhoc wireless feature. In testing we found that bluetooth discovery wasn’t the most reliable.
