It's hard to get my hands on Miracast dongles, and the only cheap one I can find is big and requires extra power (not Micro-USB, which would work for me..)
I've found inexpensive 720p and 1080p dongles with DNLA (like the iPush), but I'm unsure whether I can use these with Windows 8(.1) and the Venue 8 Pro? Information is hard to come by, but if you have any experience with setting it up, I'd love to hear everything!
I need to mirror my screen to our projector at school, in different rooms, so it needs to be quick and easy to setup. I have a 5600mAh battery that could connect to the dongle and power it without the need for an outlet.
I understand that you can mirror apps and media through DLNA, but shouldn't Windows Desktop be supported the same way you use Miracast? Would it be possible to mirror PowerPoint, or does the desktop not count as 'media'?
