While standard notebooks are not a problem for any of these systems, Airtame and other alternatives have to transform the video signal from the device to enable wireless screen mirroring. This can limit the devices of the type that can be used. For example, the ClickShare app enables Windows and Mac notebooks to share their screen – but not Chromebooks. The Mersive Solstice enables you to use a web browser on Chromebooks to share your screen with their app, while the AirTame will only work with certain Chromebooks or Linux applications. For these systems, you will need to carefully check to make sure your devices work.
The InstaShow approach is to wirelessly stream the native HDMI signal directly from a device. This enables thousands of different HDMI devices from over 1700 different manufacturers to mirror their screen on a shared display or projector. This enables not only notebooks and mobile devices to mirror the screen, but also digital microscopes, Blu-Ray Players, and even X-Ray and CT machines to wirelessly mirror their images to a shared display.
