Wi Fi Display is usually associated with Miracast. In fact, Miracast is a proof of the Wi Fi Alliance naming devices that support Wi Fi Display functionality. Devices certified by Miracast will support and be compatible with Wi Fi Display functionality to the maximum extent possible.
The Miracast implementation of Android includes multiple modules in the system, including:
- Media Player Service and related modules, as Miracast itself involves RTP/RTSP and corresponding encoding and decoding technologies.
- Surface Flinger and related modules. The function of Surface Flinger is to mix screens and transfer UI data from each layer to the display device for display. SurfaceFlinger now supports multiple display devices. Moreover, remote devices that support Miracast are also independent display devices in the system.
