If these Macs are recent enough, one or both may support being set up as an AirPlay Recever for AirPlay to Mac.

This is not as good as a first-class hardware-supported connection to a monitor, and there may be lags, artifacts, and/or limitations on available resolutions.

By impersonating an external display, the Luna Display device accepts a full-speed display output, and converts it to a more manageable (and far slower) data stream that can be sent over a connection like your home network. Luna Display software on the remote device recreates an equivalent display image.


Luna Display technology can NOT achieve performance equivalent to full-motion Video, regardless of what their marketing materials may say.
