EZCast is a line of digital media players, built by Actions Microelectronics, that allows users to mirror media content from smart devices, including mobile devices, personal computers, and project to high-definition televisions.
The first generation of EZCast was developed in 2013, shipped 1 million units within a year, and accumulated more than 2 million EZCast app users worldwide.[1] The latest device in the family, called EZCast 4K, was launched in November 2016 which supports 4K HEVC video streaming.[2] [3]
EZCast technology is built into a dongle that interacts with EZCast app to stream content from smart devices, and it works across Android, ChromeOS, iOS, macOS, Windows and Windows Phone.[4] [5]
EZCast SDK has been released to enable third party development on Android and iOS.[6]
In 2018 became possible to voice control EZCast 2 and EZCast 4K devices using Google Assistant.[7]
EZCast devices all come equipped with Actions Microelectronics SoCs and Linux-based software[8] that supports Miracast/DLNA and/or USB video for iOS and Android.
