Miracast! Wow! Queue up all the jubilee street videos
So the guy in pc world was blabbing on about miracast when I was buying a new blu ray player, I was wanting out of the shop as fast as I could move before they tried to sell me a mobile phone contract, 60 buck blu ray player under the arm and out the door.
I’ve now been messing about with it and miracast is totally the best thing I’ve ever seen.
So what it does, my blu ray player is connected to my wifi network, as is my phone.
I then visit youtube in my phone and and it asks if I’d like to watch it on my tv, and the first time I’m thinking this is never going to work

First row of the Boyd digital auditorium in place
We’ve got the first couple of rows in place for the Boyd Digital Auditorium and should hopefully have it completed next week. We originally planed for 40 odd seats but brought that down to 30.
Next year the Boyd digital guys will be doing mini seminars and talks about marketing, technology and anything else that they think of.
It’s been an experience buying a truck load of cinema seats from London and getting them up here and installed, actually it was all done online, maybe i’ll do a talk on that

#TwitCasting, the world evolves to toilet broadcasting
right so, this new thing in Japan, TwitCasting, is essentially allowing people to live stream video on their twitter and facebook accounts, I struggle to actually find anything decent on my Facebook these days. I can only wonder what sort of live video Martin Morel could produce when bored at work or sitting in the toilet.
On you go Martin, prove me wrong http://en.twitcasting.tv/
