iMediaShare uses DLNA tech. It's more versatile but also more complicated, which is probably why it hasn't really caught on. Miracast OTOH is stupid simple--it mirrors your screen and that's it--and will likely be more popular.

Some more info. Netgear PTV3000 isn't (yet?) Miracast certified. Some call it "pre-certified" whatever that means.

"...It's interesting to note that the PTV3000 is not Miracast certified."

http://www.smallnetbuilder.com/mult...ts-new-streamers-and-miracast-display-adapter

Presently, Netgear PTV3000 mostly doesn't work with Galaxy S3, despite the latter being Miracast-certified. AllShare Cast dongle works poorly. S3 peeps are holding on for 4.2 update and crossing their fingers. Read the 1st post in the thread for a summation of findings. Thanks to da.trute for the legwork.

That said, PTV3000 did kinda sorta work with S3 for one guy...if he held his breath the right way:

Now I completely understand why Goog didn't put Miracast on N10 specs. Putting something into the specs is a form of guarantee, and you can be sued if it doesn't work (cf GPS in Asus TF Prime). At this point, no one can guarantee anything about Miracast. I suppose Goog did enough testing on N4 to tout it, but for N10 that would mean 1600p encoding and 1080p xmit which are much more iffy propositions.
[Nexus 7 General] ldcn:
Thank you for your good summary. Unfortunately, it doesn't fit with my wishes since I currently don't buy the N7 for this only reason. I need a video out solution. I cross my fingers for a miracast-like solution ...
[Nexus 7 General] sark666:
But why does miracast have to use the device's native res? I've only had experience with a couple of android devices using wired hdmi out and they outputted at 720p even though that wasn't the native device's resolution.

So why can't it solve the problem by switch-res/down-scaling?

I just got home and I'm surprised it's still unverified if N7/10 have or doesn't have miracast. I understand it doesn't seem to be in the options but maybe it only appears once paired with a device via wifi-direct? Does anyone know how it works on the N4? Are the options always present?
[Nexus 7 General] julien.me:
Has anyone got an update on this since the N7 can now be updated with 4.2 and possibly including Miracast?

I got the YouTube update on 4.1.2, so I don't think it enabled miracast support. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

What is the option in developer options about simulated secondary display??
[Nexus 7 General] e.mote:
>But why does miracast have to use the device's native res?

All this is a bit irrelevant now, since it's confirmed that 4.2 update doesn't have Miracast for N7 or N10. But to answer: Because the content isn't necessarily a video or game that can be readily downscaled. If the display has text content (eg your home screen), downscaling from 1440p to, say, 720p may render the text unreadable, depending on font size. That said, I don't know how Miracast adaptive function works, whether it's smart enough to discern video content apart from text/screen content.

More potential roadblocks:

The Miracast wiki was updated the last few days; one of the added items is below. (Note: Since it's a recent edit, veracity may be questionable.)

"Miracast is limited to Wi-Fi Direct supported devices, additionally requiring specific Wi-Fi Direct extensions; therefore not all devices equipped with Wi-Fi Direct have the capability to support Miracast...

"Due to Miracast needs to manipulate low level Wi-Fi Direct, there is no portable Wi-Fi Direct API for different SoCs and platforms. It’s hard for ordinary software developers to design portable Miracast Source or Sink applications. Miracast solution can only be provided by SoC or platform related developers."

From this, Goog's announcement of Miracast being a 4.2 feature may be misleading, as the takeaway is a universally available Miracast across all 4.2 devices. But per above, Miracast may require additional SoC/device-specific support, and would thus be available only on a per-device basis.

Aside from the antenna/wifi bandwidth constraints mentioned earlier, there may be other hardware bottlenecks--memory bandwidth for one. This would be outside of the SoC's ability to real-time encode the content.

I didn't look into N7, but for N10, the marketing glossy states that it takes upwards of 10GByte/s to refresh the 2560x1600 screen at 60fps. Since the SoC's max bandwidth is 12.8GByte/s, that doesn't leave much for the concurrent real-time encode of the WQXGA display. Also, Exynos5 is stated to be capable of 1080p@60fps en/decoding, and it's doubtful if it can do both at the same time.

On the adapter side, at this point there appears to be no Miracast-compliant HDMI adapter. Anandtech said they can't get N4 Miracast to work with Netgear PTV3000. Firmware update is said to be some time in December.

In short, all the signs point to Miracast being a 2013 feature, even for N4. While I'm willing to be shocked by the genius of custom ROM'ers, my working assumption would be that no tablet from this year will ever have Miracast, with the possible exception of N10.

I installed the 4.2 update to my Nexus 7 and if you select WiFi and then menu, WiFi Direct is there. I also have the Net gear 3000 and if I change it to Miracast mode by pressing the button on the side for 3 seconds the 3000 then shows up on the Nexus 7. I then select it and it changes status to invite but that's as far as I get.
[Nexus 7 General] biggiestuff:
wifi direct was there on 4.1. Looks like i'll be returning my PTV3000 :(. what a disappointment.
[Nexus 7 General] Ashenphoenix:
Fortunatelly I haven't yet bought it, but it is indeed a disappointment that the 4.2 update for Nexus 7 didn't include Miracast :/
[Nexus 7 General] ldcn:
Yes, you're right. No video out is not very convenient. Big disappointment.

Question which is fully out of the scope: How long it takes to the PTV300 for booting?
[Nexus 7 General] Ashenphoenix:
I'v just heard... Nexus 7 has hardware limitations... Miracast requires wi-fi frequency 5ghz, while the Nexus 7 only support 2,4Ghz.

Proof
[Nexus 7 General] Sandheep:
No, it does not use Miracast or WiFi direct. I have a Samsung Smart TV and I tried it out. What it actually does is when you select a video to play from your android device. It simply passes that info onto the Youtube app in your TV. The TV then streams the media from the internet to play. It's kinda like having your playlist imported to your TV. I know for sure its not using Miracast cause my phone does not support it but is still able to play Youtube Videos on my TV.

• Wi-Fi CERTIFIED nQuoted from Wifi Alliance's FAQ page (http://www.wi-fi.org/knowledge-cente...gram-work-both):

Quote:

Does the specification underlying the Wi-Fi Direct certification program work on both frequency bands?

Yes, the specification underlying the Wi-Fi Direct certification program supports operation in both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz. Devices operating in the 2.4 GHz frequency band only and devices operating in both the 2.4GHz and 5 GHz frequency bands can be certified under the Wi-Fi Direct program. Not all Wi-Fi Direct-certified devices will support both frequency bands, however, so you should check which bands your devices support.

so 5GHz is NOT a requirement.

Bump. How close are we with enabling miracast without a custom ROM? Has Google expressed any intent to bring miracast to the 7 in 5.0, because if I have to wait six months, I won't mind too terribly. -Ara
[Nexus 7 General] sark666:
How close are we to enabling it WITH a custom rom? I read cyanogen just got it working with N4. Has anyone even identified why it wasn't enabled? Was it verified that it is due to not having 5ghz wifi-n? If that is the reason, then how come n10 doesn't have it? When it comes to n10 some say the native resolution is too high (doesn't miracast scale?). The only other reason I could see is due to binary parts. Is all of miracast in aosp? If it relies on some binary parts for hardware encoding that there is some license issue?

I writing the above that google actually has a reason to not enable on n7/n10 and it's just not enabled for some 'feature selling' reason.

I would have thought by now some developer would have looked at it to see any reason why it wouldn't be enabled, or tried compiling it in.

also, cyanogenmod is getting miracast on samsung galaxy s 3.

https://plus.google.com/+CyanogenMod/posts/DYVc79LgEXE

What does the samsung galaxy have that n7 doesn't or does it share something that the n4 has. Or is it due to wifi frimware?

Latest nightly for i9300 installed. <Edit CM10.1>

Belkin screencast widi upgraded to 3.5

Still no sign of miracast :(

not sure if its supported on todays nightly for the international version - will have to wait an see in a few days

not sure if belkin screencast is miracast capable - maybe they just couldn't be bothered spending the $1,000 for a wifi cert. sticker for a product to be phased out

In relation to previous posts I'm no expert but;

miracast is built on widi, mainly developed by intel not apple.

mircast, widi and wifi-direct are all different things; though widi and miracast may become interchangeable if intel row in with the concept.

I'm not sure if the samsung or htc adapter are "miracast" capable as my understanding is that they are propitiatory.

Google/intel/wifi alliance have really dropped the ball here and it may cost them in the long run, the chance was there to have a big Christmas rush for miracast receivers considering the proliferation of sgs 3, nexus 4/7/10 and high end htc - all of which may or may not have been able to beam christmas movies/anything onto tvs around the world in a more fluid way than airplay.

Intel isn't exactly the best partner. I'm glad that Google doesn't collaborate with those morons. Intel dropped Core i5 CPU support in their latest WiDi software :

"This version of the Intel® Wireless Display software DOES NOT support Mobile Intel® 5 Series Chipset based systems (2010 Intel® Core™ Processors based systems). For these systems, please download Intel Wireless Display version 3.0.13."

I really really really hate Intel for these arbitrary decisions. The i5 has plenty of horsepower to do WiDi, so what if it drops a few frames here & there. Looking forward to the day when Intel becomes completely irrelevant. Go Google.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tetchystar:
I hope this isn't an odd question, but I know you can connect a Wacom or similar graphic tablet to your Nexus 7 through usb otg, and it will work, including pressure sensitivity, but is there any way to map, or adjust what part of the graphic tablet will map to what part of the Nexus 7 screen? This is possible on computer.

The reason I ask is my graphic tablet is used in landscape always, while the Nexus 7 will only map it in portrait, even if it's turned to landscape. So I have to write or draw very wide to make it show correctly on the nexus. If there were a way to map just half the graphic tablet so it's closer to one to one on the Nexus 7, I'd love to know. Right now, it's almost a perfect portable art tool for me (without having to pick up a Galaxy Note that is ;))

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bunny-ears:
Since your digitizer works (is recognized), I would try the following:

Change all settings in any idc files you've changed to "default". On my tablet, idc files seemed to require at least the following line to work:

touch.deviceType = default​

Examine the output from "dumpsys input". In particular, look for "Translation and Scaling Factors". Make sure you're looking at settings for the right device (touch vs pen). What you probably want is for XScale = YScale.

Search Google for:

site:source.android.com devices tech input touch-devices​

Edit idc files, restart tablet, try digitizer.

Repeat.

Good luck.
