Hi all,

We've initiated and start developing the support of multi-screen on FxOS months 
ago, and it has finally come to a good shape for demonstration! A video worth 
thousands words, please watch our demo at:
https://youtu.be/A9QbW-paPZo

So here are some interests about this project:

- This is a "1UA, multi-screen" support on FxOS, which says a FxOS device can 
connect to any external display that doesn't run Gecko, or doesn't have Firefox 
browser, but still display contents sent from that FxOS device.

- In our case (1UA, multi-screen), contents on remote screen are rendered by 
the primary device, but in the resolution of that external display.

- We've implemented two connection protocols, the HDMI cord with a DisplayPort 
adaptor(wired) and Wifi Display(wireless).

- We are not mirroring, simply treat the external screen as a remote displayer, 
displaying contents sent from the primary device.

Thank you very much :)
