INTRODUCTION
WHAT IS CHROMECAST?
The Chromecast is a HDMI dongle that’s about the size of a USB flash drive, weighs just 34
grams (1 .2 Oz) and is of 2”.
It is a device that plays audio/video content on a high-definition display by
directly Streaming it via Wi-Fi from the Internet or a local network.
CHROMECAST ACCORDING TO GOOGLE
Before Chromecast there is a device called Nexus Q, which is a discontinued digital media player
that was developed by Google. Unveiled at the Google I/O developers' conference on June 2012,
the device was expected to be released to the public in the United States shortly thereafter for
US$300. The Nexus Q was designed to leverage Google's online media offerings, such as Google
Play Music, Google Play Movies & TV, and YouTube, to provide a "shared" experience.
HISTORY OF CHROMECAST
The Nexus Q received mixed reviews from critics following its unveiling. While its polarizing design
was praised, the Q was criticized for its lack of functionality in comparison to similar devices such as
Apple TV, including a lack of third-party content services, no support for streaming content directly
from other devices, as well as other software issues that affected the usability of the device

HOW CHROMECAST WORKS?
HOW CHROMECAST WORKS?
Chromecast has 2 components:
DIAL (Discovery and launch protocol)
REST Service
DIAL Protocol was developed by Netflix and YouTube which is owned by Google. This
protocol is being integrated into devices and apps by various manufactures and content
provider.
DIAL protocol allows the DIAL client to locate the DIAL server device running on the same
WIFI network. In the case of Chromecast, your phone, tablet or laptop act as a client and
the Chromecast itself is the server.
REST protocol then receives the HTTP request from the client device(mobile ,laptop,
tablet, pc) to launch the applications on the server device(Chromecast).
WHY DO WE NEED CHROMECAST?
It is a low cost product that commoditizes the hardware aspect of the category
focusing all value on the software and thus the ecosystem.
Chromecast is simple to use – you merely plug the product into your TV’s existing
HDMI port and connect via an existing Wi-Fi network / wireless device;
As with Google / Android’s platform in general, the platform is more open than
the Apple platform as it works across platforms (Apple TV only operates with iOS
devices and Macs).

box experience
Compatibility android devices and Windows too with just an application needed

CONCLUSION
While there are plenty of alternatives out there to make a television smarter,
Chromecast is one of the most affordable yet functional.
Google has committed to launching the device more broadly & internationally
with the intent of adding to the library of compatible apps, ultimately setting
consumer expectations that every app will be "castable".
