Today, we’ll delve into the Aurga Viewer, an intriguing device that enables wireless control of any HDMI-equipped computer or device from another computer. What sets this gadget apart is its remarkable compatibility—it’s not limited to PCs alone.
Aurga Viewer offers the flexibility to control a wide range of devices, including Thin Clients (devices that connect to a server but lack significant hardware beyond the screen and peripherals), gaming consoles, tablets, and even cameras. It can interface with anything equipped with an HDMI port, and the best part is that it requires no drivers or software installations on the connected device. Let’s explore how it works.
How Aurga Viewer Functions
As mentioned, Aurga Viewer is a device that plugs into the HDMI port of various devices, such as desktop computers, laptops, mini PCs, gaming consoles, Raspberry Pi, or even a TV with a damaged screen. It wirelessly transmits the screen image to another device of your choosing.
Let’s illustrate with an example: Suppose you want to play your PS5 games wirelessly on your mobile device. All you need to do is connect the Aurga Viewer to the PS5’s HDMI port and open the Aurga Viewer app on your mobile. You’ll instantly see the console’s screen on your mobile device, as if it were directly connected.
Conversely, if you have an SLR camera with a broken screen (or use an adapter if it lacks an HDMI port), you can connect the Aurga Viewer to the camera. Then, from a computer, smartphone, or tablet, you can view the SLR lens in real time, essentially using your connected device as a viewfinder. This feature proves incredibly useful, especially in emergencies or when adjusting camera settings.
Similarly, you can apply Aurga Viewer’s capabilities to other scenarios, such as accessing data from a desktop PC or laptop with a malfunctioning monitor. It simplifies data retrieval without requiring additional hardware.
Aurga Viewer also supports Apple devices, allowing you to use a Mac Mini on your iPad without the need for an additional monitor. Instead, you can leverage the screen you already have on your tablet.
All of this is made possible without any prior installations—simply install the Aurga Viewer program on the second computer where you want to view the transmitted content.
The Best Part: Affordable Pricing
Aurga Viewer comes at a reasonable price, making it accessible to many users. Priced at $79, you can purchase it directly from the Aura website. The website also offers package deals and additional accessories you may require.
