Introduction: why you need a broadcast from the phone to TV and what nuances it is important to know

Broadcasting the Redmi Note 9 Pro to a Xiaomi TV opens up new possibilities for viewing content, from streaming high-resolution movies to showing photos on the big screen. However, not everyone knows that the quality of the broadcast depends not only on the phone model, but also on the version of the MIUI firmware, the type of connection and even the distance between devices.

The main problem faced by owners is image latency and periodic communication breaks, which is especially critical for games or videos in 4K, where even minimal latency spoils the impression. In this article, we will analyze all the current ways of connecting, taking into account the features of the Redmi Note 9 Pro and Xiaomi TVs (including models on Android TV and PatchWall), and give recommendations for optimizing the connection.

Before you start setting up, check:

• 📱 Version MIUI on a smartphone (current — MIUI 14+ for stable operation of Miracast).
• 📺 Model TV: the new Xiaomi TV A2/P1 Supports Wi-Fi support 6, shrinkage.
• 🔄 Firmware updates on both devices (especially if you use Google Cast).

Method 1: Wireless broadcast via Miracast (embedded function)

Miracast is a wireless screen standard that is supported by the Redmi Note 9 Pro out of the box, and the main advantage of the method is that there is no need for a router: the phone and TV are directly connected via Wi-Fi Direct.

On Xiaomi TV, Miracast can be called differently depending on the firmware version:

• 🔍 Wireless (Miracast) - in older models (e.g. Mi) TV 4S).
• 🔍 Screen Mirroring or Phone Screen – New (Xiaomi) TV Q2 newer).
• 🔍 WFD (Wireless Display – in the developer menu (if the standard method does not work).

Step-by-step:

1. On TV: go to Settings → Connections → Phone screen (or similar item) and turn on the connection standby mode.
2. On Redmi Note 9 Pro: lower the notification curtain and hold the Cast icon (or Screen Transfer) for 2 seconds. In some versions of MIUI, you need to go to Settings → Connections and Sharing → Screen Transfer.
3. In the list of available devices, select your Xiaomi TV. Confirm the connection on both devices.

Method 2: Connect via Google Cast (Chromecast built-in)

If your Xiaomi TV runs on Android TV (like Mi TV Stick or Xiaomi TV A Pro), it already has Google Cast, a technology similar to Chromecast, which allows you not only to duplicate the screen, but also to stream content from apps (YouTube, Netflix, Kinopoisk) directly to the TV without transferring the entire screen.

How to set up:

1. Make sure your phone and TV are connected to the same Wi-Fi network (a requirement for Google Cast!).
2. On TV: Open the Google TV app (or Home on the home screen) and select the Cast icon (the icon with the rectangle and Wi-Fi in the upper right corner).
3. On Redmi Note 9 Pro: To Dub Screen: Use Settings → Connections → Screen Transfer and Select TV. To stream from the app: Open the video on YouTube or Netflix, click the Cast icon and select your Xiaomi TV.

⚠️ Note: When using Google Cast for screen mirroring, there may be a noticeable delay (up to 0.5 seconds). HDMI-adapter (mode 4) for video streaming, the delay is minimal.
