A Comprehensive Review of Smart TV Cast App

What is Smart TV Cast?

Smart TV Cast is an Android cast to TV application released by BoostVision. It allows you to mirror your phone screen to a smart TV and stream media content directly from your phone to the TV as well because of introducing the two technologies: screen mirroring and screen casting.

Screen Mirroring & Screen Casting

Screen mirroring and screen casting work similarly: displaying the content on one device screen to another.

There is also a big difference. Screen mirroring works to copy each movement on one device screen and send the copy to another device immediately to display these movements in real-time.

Screen casting is to cast out media content (videos or photos) from a device and show that on another device, and carrying out any activities on the sender does not interrupt the casting.

Key Features of the Smart TV Cast App

Two features are built into the Android TV Cast app: screen mirror and media cast, and both offer a quick and easy way to share exciting content with different crowds.

Screen Mirroring

Multiple squares lie neatly on the user interface and the first square represents the screen mirror feature.

The media cast app is capable of cloning every movement on your smartphone and representing these movements on the TV in real-time without delay. If you need to share something on your phone in public, this feature could make it easy and perfect to be finished.

Media Casting

The left squares are used to cast content from your phone to the TV and every square represents a media source:

• Cast Web: cast online videos from the world-wide-web.
• YouTube: cast videos from the most popular video-sharing platform.
• Google Photos: cast photos from Google Photos.
• Dropbox: cast content from Dropbox.
• Google Drive: cast media from Google Drive.
• Cast Photo: cast photos from the local album.
• Cast Video: cast videos from the local album.
• Cast Audio: cast audio from the local album.

In a nutshell, the media cast app can cast content from three kinds of sources: online platforms, cloud services, and the local album. Furthermore, the former two sources mean that there is no need to download the content from different sources before displaying it on TV.
