Smartphones have become the single most important smart device in the digital age, thanks to a full-fledged mobile device and communications ecosystem. However, most people will opt to switch to a larger screen device for full-scale immersion, when watching a movie or gaming. Marrying smartphone functionality with the benefits of a large-screen device, allows for the content on a smartphone to be projected on to an expansive display, offering a new paradigm for entertainment, as well as remote work and learning.
As a core distributed technology in Huawei's EMUI system, HUAWEI Cast+ Kit incorporates the strengths of both large and smaller screen devices, and seamlessly bridges the divide between the two systems, facilitating effortless cross-device transfers of media content.
Ultra low latency
Revolutionizing the game projection experience
Projecting games with HUAWEI Cast+ Kit ensures that the projected content on the TV is in sync with the action on your phone, with projection latency as low as 50 ms. This provides for a whole new realm of fully-immersive gaming.

Proprietary streamlined communications mechanism
Resolving the trade-off between smoothness and clarity
During projection, the Wi-Fi environment is prone to interference and instability due to the potentially high number of devices connected to the same network. Due to this and the resulting packet loss, frame freezing and artifacts will tend to occur. The common resolution for most brands is to sacrifice smoothness for clarity, or vice versa. But now it's possible to enjoy the best of both worlds: high quality imagery with a smooth display.
HUAWEI Cast+ Kit is the culmination of three years of optimization and iteration, and is based on Huawei's own streaming media communication and transmission protocols. It redesigns the algorithm at the streaming media transmission layer to ensure strong anti-interference capabilities. Even when the packet loss rate reaches 25%, HUAWEI Cast+ Kit still manages to minimize frame freezing and ensure stable data transmission. This ensures a high degree of smoothness and high definition streaming, throughout the entire projection process. Because the optimization is performed at the software layer only, no additional cost is passed on at the hardware layer to device partners.
High-definition mirroring
Reproducing the magnificent graphical performance on your phone
The 1080p HD mirroring provided by HUAWEI Cast+ Kit allows for lossless reproduction of pictures and videos on your phone.
Streamlined connection
Easy, instantaneous projections, on command
HUAWEI Cast+ Kit can be accessed on a Huawei phone, without the need to download and install an additional app. By swiping down the notification panel and touching the Wireless Projection shortcut switch, your phone will automatically search for nearby devices that can be projected to. To project the phone screen, just select the target device. The process is so simple that even technologically-challenged users can perform it with ease. HUAWEI Cast+ Kit comes equipped with a fast discovery mechanism that is based on Huawei-developed algorithms. The minimal time required to establish an end-to-end connection is a staggering 500 ms. HUAWEI Cast+ Kit is a highly-accessible wireless projection solution that is not weighed down by unnecessary bells and whistles, for direct touch-to-connect and casting.
PIN authentication
Secure and convenient
When using the Huawei Cast+ function on a TV for the first time, the user will need to enter the PIN to authenticate the connection. All subsequent connections will not require PIN input. This solution provides for optimal user privacy and security, without compromising convenience in the slightest.
HUAWEI Cast+ Kit is only supported on devices that run EMUI 10.1 or later. EMUI 10.1 debuted on the HUAWEI P40 series of smartphones, which were released on April 8, 2020 in China, and will be made available on a gradual basis, on other phone models. HUAWEI Cast+ Kit is poised to reinvent the nature of cross-device interaction, with Huawei's broad user base, and collaborative capabilities of third-party partners.

Anytime Leisure, with All-time Protections
Even prior the arrival of 5G, streaming video has become a fixture in daily life. Given this, video service providers have attached increasing importance to DRM, as it plays a crucial role in ensuring that audio, video, and app content remains protected when downloaded and opened. In order to provide copyrighted digital content with an additional layer of protection, the WisePlay DRM leverages the Kirin 990, which features a higher security level than that on Google’s Widevine L1 and Microsoft’s PlayReady.
As a key pillar in the global HMS ecosystem, HUAWEI Video (with WisePlay DRM integrated) has worked closely with leading film studios in Hollywood and premium content providers, having obtained the Hollywood 4K UHD content protection certification, thanks to the cutting-edge technology packed into the Kirin 990. This provides users with access to tens of thousands of critically-acclaimed films, spanning diverse genres, from Sony's Spider-Man movies (Spider-Man: Parallel Universe, The Amazing Spider-Man 2, etc.), to 4K BBC documentaries, inspirational movies (The Pursuit of Happyness, etc.), and animations (The Smurfs in 3D, etc.) – all of which can be watched securely, and on smart screen devices.
HUAWEI Video has also partnered with Mango TV, Youku, and Tencent Video in the Chinese mainland, with a focus on high-quality educational content encompassing the arts and humanities. This framework gives users the freedom to watch whatever content catches their interest, with maximum peace of mind.
Building a Full-fledged Ecosystem, Dedicated to Safeguarding IP Rights for Radio, Film, and TV
For a long time, content providers lacked effective technical safeguards for their content, and as a result, piracy was rampant, undercutting the economic viability of the industry. To counteract the threat of piracy, China's radio and TV industry has developed the pioneering ChinaDRM ecosystem. HUAWEI Video is based on ChinaDRM, and has spared no effort to protect the IP rights for copyrighted radio, film, and television in China, and collaborated with partners across the industry to build a massive video catalog, covering more than 20 diverse categories, including movies, children’s content, variety shows, educational materials, documentaries, animations, and sports. Furthermore, HUAWEI Video provides the latest episodes for popular dramas and top variety shows in real time, enriching the lives of users with comprehensive video content services.
At the technical level, HUAWEI Video leverages next-level AI video enhancements, which are based on the proprietary WiseVideo codec, to embellish old movies with high-quality imagery. It is capable of converting traditional Standard Dynamic Range (SDR) media into High Dynamic Range (HDR) assets, which provides for a new level of clarity, with a wider brightness range and greater image tolerance, to ensure that content is rendered in detailed splendor under a high light ratio. The technology can also reconstruct low-quality video, by removing defects such as scratches and artifacts, and by enhancing image quality via noise reduction, sharpening, and super resolution. When combined with intelligent push technology, it facilitates optimal streaming media playback, in which high-quality imagery is ensured, even when the video bit rate is reduced by more than 40%.
With the large-scale international deployment of the HMS ecosystem, the WisePlay DRM has gained recognition, and is being implemented globally on a broad, commercial scale. You can benefit from this unique, one-stop solution, and protect the rights of all your content, on every device, and in every market.
