What it is
AirServer turns a computer into a receiver for screen mirroring from compatible AirPlay, Google Cast, and Miracast devices. Its Connect 3 receiver combines AirPlay 2, Google Cast, and Miracast, supporting up to 12 simultaneous on-screen sessions at 1080p and 60 FPS, with unlimited sessions beyond that. Connect 3 also supports Google Cast playback from DRM-protected apps including Disney+, National Geographic, and Amazon Prime. Sessions stay local rather than being transmitted over the Internet, and Connect 3 supports 802.1X enterprise-grade protection. AirServer lists receiver software for Windows, Mac, Xbox, Surface Hub, and Embedded Linux. Its iOS companion app helps discover receivers across subnets, while its Android app adds AirPlay mirroring. Connect 3 central management and reporting are free; software updates do not require a subscription fee and can be installed offline using a USB flash drive. The product includes a two-year standard warranty and lists support in five languages. A 30-day trial is available. Consumer and Business licenses cost $19.99 and $39.99 once, respectively; Surface Hub licensing costs $99.99 a year.
