About CastBay
<p>CastBay turns an Android big screen — a TV, a TV box, a car display or a tablet — into an AirPlay and DLNA receiver. Cast your iPhone, iPad or Mac screen, music and videos to it, or use the cast button in video and music apps.</p>
<p><b>Features</b></p>
<ul>
<li><b>Screen mirroring</b> from iPhone, iPad and Mac, up to 60 fps; H.265 up to 4K on TVs with a hardware HEVC decoder.</li>
<li><b>Music</b> with the cover as a blurred backdrop and optional synced lyrics; AirPlay music is lossless and stays in time with the phone.</li>
<li><b>Video casting</b>: apps' AirPlay video plays straight from the source, with audio tracks and subtitles.</li>
<li><b>DLNA</b>: the cast button in apps such as Bilibili, iQiyi, NetEase Cloud Music and QQ Music, from iPhones and Android phones.</li>
<li><b>Remote or touch screen</b>: a quick menu while playing (picture fit, playback stats, audio and subtitles, pause, skip and a seek bar); media keys and a car's steering-wheel buttons pause and change tracks.</li>
<li><b>Who can cast</b>: anyone, devices you allow on the TV, a PIN shown on the TV (as on an Apple TV) or a password; block any device.</li>
<li>Works on Android 6.0 and later, in English and Chinese.</li>
</ul>
<p><b>Privacy</b>: no account and no ads. Nothing is sent unless you choose to: lyrics lookups, problem reports (with personal details taken out) and anonymous usage statistics are all off until you turn them on.</p>
<p>The phone and the screen need to be on the same local network. Music from the Mac's Music app isn't supported (a FairPlay mode UxPlay can't handle).</p>
