X-Mirage for Windows is released – Turn your Windows PC into AirPlay receiver

We are so honored to announce the release of Windows version of X-Mirage after 6 months of hard work. X-Mirage, running on Windows PC, allows you to use that PC as an AirPlay receiver to receive contents from iOS devices or Mac over a Wi-fi connection. In other words, you can stream video, audio, photo or mirror the screen of iOS devices or Mac to this Windows PC, and record iOS screen activities easily.

Show off your iOS device’s wherever there is a Mac. All you need is an AirPlay Receiver for Mac – X-Mirage, which runs on your Mac and turns your Mac to the AirPlay Receiver to receive contents such as photos, videos, music, etc. to your Mac or mirror the display to the bigger Mac screen. So no matter whether you are an iOS app developer who needs to demonstrate app, or a teacher planning to display contents from iOS devices to all students, or just want to showcase your photos or game skills to friends, as long as you have a Mac at hand, all these are just a piece of cake.

All you need to do is download and install X-Mirage on your Mac, then tap AirPlay icon on your iOS devices, select  your Mac in the available AirPlay devices list and then turn on Mirroring(same to connect to Apple TV). Immediately you will find the iOS device screen is mirrored to the bigger Mac screen. Tap full screen to get best experience.
