The ability to stream video content from a mobile device or computer to a television display using Apple’s wireless streaming technology and the Netflix application offers viewers a flexible viewing experience. For example, a user might initiate playback of a movie on their iPad and then transmit the visual and audio output to their living room television for a more immersive experience.
This functionality provides several advantages, including the convenience of controlling playback from a personal device, the elimination of physical connections, and the potential for improved accessibility. Historically, connecting devices to televisions required cables; however, wireless streaming simplifies this process, making it more user-friendly and adaptable to various viewing environments.
