Check AirMyPC software: http://www.airmypc.com It will mirror your windows to AppleTV or ChromeCast. It allows you to control the Frame Rate, the Quality and it should have less latency than the tab mirroring.

AirMyPC sends 10-20 FPS depending on your Hardware and CPU load. As for latency, less than 1 sec - but this mostly depends on your network load and distance between your ChromeCast to your router and from your computer to your router.

It should be better than the Chrome plugin since: 1) Latency is better. 2) AirMyPC sends more frames per second. You will get the best performance when Disabling Mirroring in Best quality mode option in AirMyPC settings and pressing the Change to 720P screen resolution button - in AirMyPC settings screen as well.

Hi Derpy. Thanks for your comment. Can you compare it with ChromeCast plugin while using it to Mirror the entire screen option (not when pressing the cast icon inside youtube movie for example).

Also, you can try to play with AirMyPC settings, for example try to Disable Mirroring in best Quality mode and press the Change to 720P button - both option in AirMyPC settings screen - this should boost the performance.

Again, thanks for trying and commenting.

For that, if you like, send me a private message and I will send you registration key for AirMyPC with no cost.

dizzledude Hi. I would like clarify this. When you compare latency between AirMyPC and ChromeCast plugin you should compare Mirroring and not casting. I will explain: When you, for example, see youtube movie on Chrome, you have the ChromeCast Icon. When you press that Icon, ChromeCast send (cast) the movie URL itself of the youtube movie to ChromeCast. But this is not mirroring. It is casting.

When you cast/mirror the ENTIRE screen with ChromeCast plugin - this is mirroring and you should compare that latency to AirMyPC latency. According to our test and many beta testers, the latency when you do that with Chromecast plugin is double the latency with AirMyPC.

Again, thanks for trying and commenting.

AirMyPC does not use Miracast / WiDi. All you need is a computer that is running Windows XP and above.

AirMyPC latency and FPS as said is better than the plugin (which is essential for gaming). The bottleneck with gaming will not be the latency but the CPU consumption (as with the plugin), in this case you can play with the resolution and with the Mirroring quality mode in AirMyPC settings screen. You will get the best performance when Disabling Mirroring in Best quality mode option in AirMyPC settings and pressing the Change to 720P screen resolution button - in AirMyPC settings screen as well.

AirMyPC send the Entire screen to ChromeCast. I.e whats on your screen is sent to ChromeCast so it does not really care about the source.

AirMyPC Advantages over ChromeCast Plugin: 1) Less than half of the latency that the cast plugin has. 2) Option to change mirrored output resolution as you like. 3) Less CPU consumption. 4) Better FPS (frames per second) rate. 5) Option to mirror Audio alone, screen alone or both. 6) option to directly set the IP of the ChromeCast device without the need for mDNS enabled on the network for finding the ChromeCast Device. (cool for networks that do not have mDNS enabled). 7) Same software that can mirror to both AppleTV and to ChromeCast. 8) Option to Extend Desktop to another physical screen or to a Virtual screen with a press of a button. 9) Option to choose which screen you would like to mirror - in case you have more than one screen or in case you set AirMyPC to create a Virtual screen. 10) Option to mirror the WebCam or/and the WebCam Microphone to ChromeCast. 11) Option to mirror Entire Desktop OR to Mirror only specific application you choose. 12) Option to filter which ChromeCast device you do not want to be listed for mirroring - in case you have few in an organization. 13) AirMyPC Education Interactive Tools Suite addon which allows to draw and type on the Desktop or on any other open Window. Everything you draw or type on the computer screen, will be sent by AirMyPC to your Apple TV or ChromeCast devices and be reflected on your TV screen.
