So different to the competition if you want to connect an old and a new Mac. With X-MIRAGE I had a working setup in just 1min, and understood it completely after 5min. But it seemed very ok! Lag almost unnoticable, quality very ok. Quality & Speed: Did not evaluate that extensively. X-Mirage was properly listed as a stream target. If you want you can tweak settings according to your needs (screen size, password, etc).Ĭlient side (sending the stream): Works out of the box with the built-in system features (in the system controls Airplay and Audio you select your destination, where you want to stream to. You are done! No extra drivers, no restart, no config necessary. Firewall asks you: Allow incoming connections for X-Mirage? Confirm with Yes. Server side (receiving side of the stream): Start the app. Therefore I can use my old Mac running OS X 10.6.8 Sierra as a secondary display for my current rMBP running macOS 10.12.3 Sierra. If you have no more use for your old device, at least it can act as a secondary display! The current version 2.04.3 as of 2017-03 supports the newest macOS 10.12.3 Sierra, until back to OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard.
PERFECT SOLUTION FOR USING AN OLD MAC AS AN AIRPLAY SERVER FOR RECEIVING THE A/V STREAM
