Flint is a technology which enables multi-screen experiences and lets a user send and control video from tablets, phones or laptops to the large screen. There are two types of Flint apps: Sender App and Receiver App. The sender app may be running on a web browser, Android or iOS. It uses the Flint Sender APIs to discover, launch and communicate with a receiver app running on the large screen. These receiver apps are straightforward HTML5/CSS web apps, enabled with Flint's Receiver JavaScript API, allowing arbitrary application-specific messages between the sender device and the large screen.
