Stream screen to TV via network, miracast or vmware horizon?

0

We're a hospital and using VMware Horizon to garant our employees access to their personal desktops from any client in the campus. There are:

  • A thin clients running a kiosk version of Windows 10 1709
  • B thin clients running IGEL LX 10
  • C fat clients running a full installation of Windows 10 1709 + VMware Horizon Client.

In our meeting rooms are Sony FW-55BZ35F (smarttv with Android) with Apple TV 4K (mirror screen from iOS/macOS), Microsoft Miracast Adapter (mirror screen from Windows clients) installed. TV, Apple TV and Clients are all through cable or wifi connected to the network. On a daily basis our employees are using Onyx Venus-223 with option A installed and connect to the TVs through miracast.

The problem now is, that miracast ist only available on Windows and we need an alternative under IGEL Linux, because we want to change to IGEL.


Our Idea was to contact IGEL and ask them to implement Wireless Display Software For Linux OS (WDS) for their distribution. Another idea would be to use AirParrot 2 through Apple TV.

Since we're using VMware Horizon, is there a way to stream or mirror your current screen (running on fat/thin client) to a client hooked up our TV?

Under Linux you may cast the screen to Chromecast using the Chrome browser.

See the article Casting a Chrome tab or entire desktop.
