Abstract
A display device and display techniques for receiving a digital television signal, outputting the digital television signal on a display screen, transcoding the digital television signal to a streamable format, and casting the transcoded digital television signal via a communication network to a remote device are described herein. In an example, the processing circuitry of a television device may be configured to convert digital audiovisual content to another format and transmit the digital audiovisual content to a secondary display device using a built-in Wi-Fi chipset, such as to enable screen mirroring, place-shifting, or portability of the audiovisual content. In a further example, the processing circuitry of a television device may be configured to convert digital audiovisual content to another format and transmit the digital audiovisual content to a secondary streaming device, such as a media server, to allow subsequent playback.
