Part 3: Mirror iPhone/iPad screen to Android or Samsung TV with Reflector 2.
It also is very high quality software - and is well designed, all around and fast.Screen Mirroring iPhone iPad to TV/Mac/PC for Big Screen It lacks any input from the iPad and simply sends the screen from the Mac to iOS. It's more designed for counting pixels and looking at mockups you design on the Mac for eventual use on the iPad, but you can use it as a mirroring solution.
The Xscope app for software designers has a free companion app that runs on the iPad and will mirror your screen. If you really must avoid VNC, there is another option. It's a quality piece of software all around. There is nothing I can say bad about it in terms of missing features os bugs or design. It has great soft keyboard support and of course works with Linux and Windows as well. If you do decide to use it on the go for remote access, there is a free location app (similar to how Back to My Mac works) and works over ssh tunnels if you prefer more security than speed. It is very fast and has an observe only mode so that you don't accidentally send touch events. The same program works on iPad, iPod, iPhone of all sizes and retina or not displays. If you don't use it, someone else needs to re-write that entire stack and it works very well for local networks.Īs for why the app I recommend, it has an observe mode and seems to scale the screen much better than the Xscope app since it is designed primarily for designing, not mirroring. VNC is the way that OS X sends it's video remotely to another display. The Xscope mirror, a free tool works without needing VNC but you need a paid companion app on the Mac to send the data.
The maximum I'm willing to install is an receiver client on the iPad. There's also an app called Air Display which does do Mac -> iOS, but it requires a server-client installation.I checked out Reflector, but it only does the opposite, and that's what everyone else in the world seems to be asking.
Also, AirServer used to be what i needed (if you check the description on Cydia), but for some reason, the website is now only advocating the exact opposite of this. I have AirServer installed, but it doesn't show up on my Mac (10.8.2) display settings page ("No devices detected"). I'd prefer to do this via AirPlay Mirroring, if possible.Also, since the iPad's resolution in landscape mode is 2048x1536, the Mac's resolution of 1920x1080 should fit in it without scaling. Since I'm using the keyboard and mouse, I don't need touch events to be translated. I want to mirror my Mac display on the iPad, so I can sit in another room with the iPad, the wireless keyboard and mouse. I don't know why i can't seem to find any info about this or even anyone asking the same question.
