#X MIRAGE KEY PC SOFTWARE#
X-Mirage is a software utility that enables you to bring the activity from your Apple device on your personal computer, by acting as an intermediary AirPlay server between you and the iPad or iPhone. By doing so, you are able to broadcast in real time everything that you do on the mobile device, complete with full-HD resolutions and high-quality images. The application is also able to optimize the AirPlay display size, in order to offer the best possible quality levels when it comes to image fidelity, so that you can enjoy crystal-clear pictures regardless of the content you are viewing. In addition, you can also view the IP address of the device, which informs you about any connectivity issues. Password-protect the connection and receive lossless sound outputīeside the video stream, X-Mirage also receives any sound output from the connected device, which can be improved by adding an extra lossless AirPlay server to handle only the audio part of the transmission. In addition, you can also voice-over the stream by activating the microphone function, which captures your speech and sends it to the computer.
#X MIRAGE KEY PC CODE#
In order to protect the mirroring session, the utility allows you to add a password protection and request a secret code before accepting any connections to your PC. That way, you can avoid other devices from streaming on your screen and prevent any unauthorized access to your AirPlay server. In addition, the easy-to-use interface and intuitive controls make it a good choice even for inexperienced users, since all you need to do is connect the device and choose the desired resolution.PERFECT SOLUTION FOR USING AN OLD MAC AS AN AIRPLAY SERVER FOR RECEIVING THE A/V STREAM Overall, thanks to its ability to stream the video feed in full-HD resolutions and use a separate, audio-only lossless receiver to handle the sound, X-Mirage is a very useful application to have around on your computer. If you have no more use for your old device, at least it can act as a secondary display! The current version 2.04.3 as of 2017-03 supports the newest macOS 10.12.3 Sierra, until back to OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard. Therefore I can use my old Mac running OS X 10.6.8 Sierra as a secondary display for my current rMBP running macOS 10.12.3 Sierra. Server side (receiving side of the stream): Start the app. Firewall asks you: Allow incoming connections for X-Mirage? Confirm with Yes. You are done! No extra drivers, no restart, no config necessary. If you want you can tweak settings according to your needs (screen size, password, etc).Ĭlient side (sending the stream): Works out of the box with the built-in system features (in the system controls Airplay and Audio you select your destination, where you want to stream to. X-Mirage was properly listed as a stream target. Quality & Speed: Did not evaluate that extensively.
With X-MIRAGE I had a working setup in just 1min, and understood it completely after 5min.īut it seemed very ok! Lag almost unnoticable, quality very ok.
So different to the competition if you want to connect an old and a new Mac. Before that I spent 4 hours trying out competitor software, which did not work at all connecting the old and the new Mac.ĪIRSERVER: It offered downloading a legacy version.

#X MIRAGE KEY PC INSTALL#

Upon connecting from macOS 10.12 with the current Airparrot 2.7 the legacy Reflector 1.6.3 on OS X 10.6 crashed. Tried different version combinations, but all failed. I don't know whether I will buy X-Mirage, as it is a one time occasion (rehearsal of a keynote presentation on two screens).
