The Chromecast Ultra is a digital media player/streaming dongle powered by Google Cast. You can literary play high definition audio and visual content across a wide variety of devices it supports that includes TVs, Personal Computers, Home Entertainment Systems among others through a series of mobile and web apps that support the Google Cast tech.
It works in a way of mirroring the content from supported apps onto devices where the Chromecast is plugged in.
