Benchmark board
This page already surfaces the concrete TargetBridge presets documented by the project, from 1440p 60 to 5K 48 HEVC. Metrics that are not publicly released yet stay labeled as unpublished so readers can separate documented capabilities from measured lab results.
Current board
The rows below separate what TargetBridge already documents publicly from what still needs a same-hardware test across TargetBridge, AirPlay and Luna Display. That keeps the page useful today without dressing up missing measurements as finished benchmarks.
| Metric | TargetBridge | AirPlay | Luna Display | Source note |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Highest documented preset | 5K · 5120 x 2880 @ 48 · HEVC | This site does not document a 5K-first preset here | Astropad markets full 5K iMac support | Use this row to show what each product publicly claims or documents before running side-by-side tests. |
| Sharp-text preset | Crisp · 3840 x 2160 @ 48 · HEVC | No equivalent preset is documented on this site | No equivalent preset table is published on this site | This is the most useful public preset to cite for text clarity and interface work. |
| Motion preset | Smooth+ · 3200 x 1800 @ 60 | No public 60 fps comparison on identical hardware is published here | No public 60 fps comparison on identical hardware is published here | Useful when you want to discuss cursor feel, scrolling and window motion. |
| Lower-latency preset | Smooth · 2560 x 1440 @ 60 | No comparable low-latency preset is documented here | No comparable low-latency preset is documented here | This is the clearest documented baseline before readers move into higher-resolution modes. |
| Average latency | No public millisecond figure on identical hardware is in the repo yet | No public identical-hardware figure is published on this site | No public identical-hardware figure is published on this site | Publish milliseconds only after testing the same sender, receiver, cable path and macOS builds. |
| CPU / GPU load | No sender and receiver load chart is published in the repo yet | No comparable load chart is published on this site | No comparable load chart is published on this site | When you add this, split sender and receiver load separately so thermal impact stays readable. |
Public reports
These are not official lab benchmarks. They are public GitHub reports that add concrete context about 5K HEVC behavior and Network Link limits on real hardware.
GitHub issue #11
A public GitHub issue reports 5120 x 2880 @ 48 HEVC running between 2 and 16 sender FPS on a MacBook Pro M3 Pro to 2020 Intel iMac pair, with severe flicker that made the setup unusable on that hardware combination.
Read source reportGitHub issue #47
A public GitHub issue reports 5K starting over both WiFi-to-WiFi and WiFi-to-LAN paths. The same report says the local network was not fast enough for good speed, which supports the project recommendation to prefer Thunderbolt Bridge first.
Read source reportMethodology
Every new benchmark drop should read like a reproducible experiment. That keeps the numbers comparable and makes public reports more useful for everyone evaluating the project.
Benchmark contribution flow
Ask for exact sender and receiver models, macOS versions, cable or adapter path, and raw observations. GitHub Discussions and Issues are the right place to collect that evidence before promoting it on this page.
