Miracast

Miracast screen mirroring is a new wireless display standard that allows users to directly share the contents of their device (TV) on an external monitor or projector without the need for any cables.

The term 'mirroring' reflects the ability of some devices to transfer what appears on their screens directly to compatible TVs in real-time.
