Data appears about a Miracast adapter for Surface Pro 3
From WindowsBlogItalia, screenshots of a range of accessories for Surface Pro 3 have been published, such as a Mini DisplayPort to VGA adapter, or a USB to Ethernet adapter, which are also compatible with previous models (more details at end of article).
In the first image, on the right, we find a wireless video transmission device, which would allow the projection of the Surface Pro screen 3 to a monitor or TV with HDMI and USB connection.
With the Microsoft Screen Sharing HD-10 accessory on the way, it wouldn't be surprising if a fix is also in the works to allow the same thing to be done with Microsoft's Surface family of tablets, but nothing so far of this is confirmed.
According to the images published by this blog, this device would use Miracast technology to transmit everything that appears on the screen from the Surface to this adapter, and from there to the TV's HDMI port, which makes clear the minimum quality that the video signal would have.
It would also be possible to watch streaming movies and series through Xbox Video or other applications such as Netflix, projecting its signal on the television. The maximum distance between the adapter and the Surface would be 6 meters to allow connection.
Finally, in the image above it is also mentioned that it would be possible to do two things at the same time, such as playing a movie through the Video app on your TV, and continue to use your Surface for any other activity like talking on Skype or browsing the web.
The four accessories that appear in the first image of the article would be compatible with Surface Pro 3, Surface Pro 2 and Surface Pro In In the case of the Miracast adapter, Surface 2 would also be included, but in no case the first Surface.
It only remains to wait for this information to be confirmed in the coming weeks, and possibly we will have a release date and official price. Let's hope that the latter does not surpass that of the Microsoft Screen Sharing HD-10 (€79) and, if possible, that it is inferior.
