In this article, They said that CPUs under Intel 6th model don't support HEVC Encoding. so, I think it could make a problem. what do you think?

There is literally no way around this problem.

If you use this on an older mac computer the video is gonna look like trash. There's no way around that and it's 100% the reason why these devices are blacklisted in the first place.

Wasn't the side car shown in high definition in Beta1? I think we've implemented it software and then switched to HEVC.

I dont try it on beta.. is it good on beta version?

b3z commented 4 years ago

no @kingkong991 but just hypothetically - are we forced to use HEVC?

It's a shame there's no way to switch to h264 instead with higher bitrate.

Other apps like Duet is able to do it with older macs. I'm surprised(not surprised) Apple is limiting this to newer macs.

I think both devices should support HEVC. i have stream quality issues with: ipad air 2 (no HEVC support), and macbook air 2018 (should have HEVC support).
