X-Mirage: broadcasting the image from iOS to Mac
Makradar Technologies / / December 19, 2019
Nearest Conference Apple is not far off. What's on it and announce a new show - one Kuku known. People expect and iOS 8 and the new OS X, do not forget that it's time to show new products - iWatch and the updated Apple TV with a store of applications and connected devices, such as game controllers. In fact, many have long been waiting for the conversion of media AppleTV set-top box into a fully fledged gaming console, and all that can afford to let yet - AirPlay Mirroring to play on the big screen TV. But those who have the prefix has not got to go out of the situation somehow, broadcasting the image from its iOS-devices to a computer monitor or via AirServer AirParrot. I tried both and was not happy with the quality of the applications. A few days ago I bought another, similar in functionality to the utility X-Mirage, about which I want to tell.
The meaning of her work is very simple - the program allows you to broadcast what is happening on the screen of your iPhone / iPad / iPod Touch to a computer running OS X. All that is required - install the client on the Mac.
After starting the application, you can view a brief tutorial on how to connect your iOS-device (even the developers have done a separate instructions for iOS 6 and 7). There is nothing supernatural in the settings there, after the installation of X-Mirage, we simply choose on your iOS-device connections in AirPlay, Line type "[X-Mirage] Device name" and include videopovtor (be sure to include it on the Mac). Then, on the screen of your Mac will pop up a window with the image of iOS-gadget display.
Yes, it's all there and in AirServer, eg. But there are other key features of which you want to tell.
Firstly, a single computer, you can connect several devices, three iPhone or iPhone and iPad. All of them will be displayed next to each other on one desktop. Unfortunately for myself I did not find the use of this feature, but many think it is useful. For example, you can run a multiplayer game on the iPad two and compete with one another in any racing simulator.
Secondly, there is the possibility of video recording taking place on-screen action. As I recall, this is not possible in similar applications. Only one button to start recording, and exactly the same - to stop it. Upon completion you will be able to convert your video to download, for example, YouTube (Supported resolutions up to 1080p).
And third, with the help of the advanced settings you can enable audio without compression. On my MacBook Air, unfortunately, the big difference I have not heard, but it is possible that with good acoustics things will be better.
Feels like, X-Mirage works much faster and more stable than the same AirServer, with which problems are often (low frame rate of suspension of the application). In just a few days that I was engaged in testing, I did not have a single problem, which is really great. It is for this application I do not mind to pay $ 16, that asking developers, as opposed to the competitor, a little more than cheap, but not as convenient.
