Meet Chromecast . This is Google ’s visual modality for how Chrome can help unite your experience across all of the many screen we ’ve catch . And you better believe it ’s all about telecasting . Who knew a fiddling $ 35 dongle could change the way you watch forever ?
What we ’ve got here is a ready - top - box seat - like intersection — that plug into your TV a scrap like the Roku Streaming Stick with a capability similar to AirPlay Streaming . This is the unmortgaged heir to last yr ’s Nexus Q , and it ’s different in almost every manner : it ’s unobtrusive garish , and actually useful .
Chromecast , grant to Google , will have close to zero frame-up time . Just pop the small flash - thrust shaped equipment into your telly ’s HDMI port wine , connect it to your home Wi - Fi , and then you ’re quick to wirelessly transfer what you ’re check on your computer , phone , or tablet on your TV .
It ’s not limit to Android and Chrome OS and Android equipment either — The reasoning for using Chrome is that it run on all operating systems . It ’s super simpleton , if the app you ’re using on your phone or other gimmick supports Chromecast , there will be a small “ Cast ” button . Hit it , and just like that , it ’ll set ashore on your TV . From there , you could control playback from multiple devices if you ’d like .
And it does n’t terminate with YouTube — all defend app will have the cast button . In the demonstration today , we were shown Netflix , Google Play Movies , TV , and Music . . Google says Pandora is coming presently .
What ’s more there will be a Google Cast SDK so that basically any app can finally use it . It also opens the door for the development of additional gimmick so that other set - top - boxes with Chromecast built - in .
But even good , this is n’t limited to specific service - based lotion like Netflix . The desktop version of Chrome is getting a cast button so that you may beam your Chrome tab to your telly with a mouse click . So in the case of something like HBO Go , which does n’t yet support Chromecast — and who know , maybe it never will — you may simply beam the web internet browser - participant to your TV and be done . The one caution , of path , is that we ’re almost certain that the media has to be in the swarm .
From the looking of it , Chromecast is what we ’ve been wait for from a go under - top - box for a tenacious time . Rather than a program - siloed experience like the one you get from Apple TV — Chromecast leave behind the options wide open . We ca n’t waitress to get our hands on one .
Chromecast isavailable today through Google Play for $ 35 , and it will ship from Google by August 2nd . Google say Best Buy could have Chromecast as early as July 27th .
