WIRELESS DISPLAY
BATTLE CARD
Chromecast & Apple TV are dedicated online media content streamers. They only support a few specific media (e.g. iTunes, Netflix, YouTube and OTT services) and require an existing wireless network, which slows down performance. ScreenBeam Pro is a full wireless display solution that displays anything from your device screen directly to an HDTV or projector, without going through your network. Introducing real-time display connectivity. Actiontec ScreenBeam Pro
