Hi there!
My daily work tool is an MBP 15" 2017, but I also own an iPad Pro 13.2 (12.9inch, 2nd generation says there), and my cellphone is a Galaxy with Android.
In the living room, I have a regular projector, with HDMI and other ports to connect to (VGA, I guess) and bluetooth Speakers. I usually connect my Android cellphone via HDMI cable to the projector and from there too, bluetooth to the Speakers. For a movie or youtube. It works great, but the cable thing it's cumbersome. I do the same setup using my MBP, it works well too, but same annoyance.
I'd love to get rid of the annoying cable. I thought one of those wireless HDMI thingies would come in handy. But the more I read, the less I know about compatibilities and features (Miracast, Airplay, Google Cast. Also some articles are 2, or more years old, and I don't know if there are relevant changes).
What should I buy, that will allow me to connect my iPad wirelessly to my projector (I hope simultaneously bluetooth to the speakers is not a problem) and, dreaming big, ALSO be able to use that with Android some other time?
To make it clear: the priority is for all of this to work with my MBP and iPad. If I can only have that, so be it. If there's a device that will also work with android, that'd be a treat, but it's not a rigid necessity.
