UltraHD Cast on AndroidTV?

by wisockijunior

so, now that google announced a Ultra-HD Chromecast; can we expect to see the "google cast" feature on AndroidTV to be UltraHD compatible? on NVidia-Shield, on Sony UHD, or even on MiBox? if Android TV have google cast embedded, it should receive a update to allow for UHD streaming as well

It's just sending a URL. If the device that's pulling down the stream can do 4K, then it should be able to do 4K.

I have a Vizio TV that has Google cast embedded and UHD works for Netflix and YouTube at least. But it's not Android TV, the TV has no interface of its own. But I imagine it's just limited by what the device hooked up can output, plus getting software updates

I meant can we compare Chromecast ULTRA-HD 4K streaming just released by google to the Google Cast FullHD feature embedded on Sony Android-TVs?

Yeah, Google should upgrade the Google Cast Receiver to support 4K of the device supports it. That would be great 😃
