Want to show a Windows desktop on a TV or send a video to a receiver without connecting a cable? AirParrot can mirror the full screen, extend the desktop, or stream media files to compatible devices on the network.
Screen mirroring and desktop extension
Choose screen mirroring to show activity from the computer on a connected receiver. For more workspace, extend the desktop so the receiver acts as an additional display.
AirParrot can send a selected application window as well as the whole screen, keeping other desktop activity out of view during a demo or presentation.
Receiver discovery and Quick Connect
AirParrot searches the local network for available media receivers. Quick Connect and Bluetooth discovery support finding and connecting to devices, including when network configuration makes discovery harder. A compatible receiver is needed at the display end; examples include Apple TV, Chromecast, AirPlay-enabled speakers, and devices running Reflector.
- Put your screen or a video on the TV or projector through a receiver.
- Broadcast to several receivers at the same time, including different device types.
- Use AirParrot with Reflector to mirror a computer screen to a computer running that receiver software.
Media streaming and remote control
For video or audio playback, select a media file to stream instead of mirroring the desktop. AirParrot supports 5.1 surround sound for media streaming and can send audio to AirPlay-enabled speakers around the home.
- AirParrot Remote for iPhone or iPad provides remote control of the content being sent from the computer.
- The companion remote adds playlist support and live previews, and can control the computer without using its keyboard or mouse.
