It’s not the only interesting approach that Amazon has taken with the Fire HDX. While you may not have a physical HDMI connection, you do get support for a wireless secondary display, with Amazon turning to something it knows very well – the cloud – in order to deliver it.
Rather than beaming content stored on the Kindle Fire HDX to the TV, Amazon instead streams a version from the cloud. The upshot is that it leaves the tablet’s processing power completely free to do either second-screen duties, showing relevant content like actor bios, or to do something else, like email or browsing.
Sound like casting to me.
