USB connection vs Wi-Fi latency
Direct USB debugging (ADB over USB 3.0/Type-C) provides sustained data rates well above 400 Mbps with jitter consistently under 3 milliseconds. In contrast, standard 2.4 GHz or congested 5 GHz Wi-Fi links introduce intermittent packet retransmissions and buffer bloat.
For tactile responsiveness — such as scrolling, typing or game testing — a wired connection keeps round-trip input latency below 35ms, matching the tactile perception of the physical device display.
How WebCodecs H.264 hardware decoding works in Chrome
Modern Chromium browsers expose the WebCodecs API, allowing web applications to feed raw H.264 NAL units directly into your PC GPU video decoder. This completely bypasses the overhead of standard HTML5 video elements and media source extensions.
Frames are decoded in sub-millisecond intervals and immediately painted onto an offscreen or hardware-accelerated Canvas, avoiding frame drops and preventing CPU throttling.
Audio forwarding and input synchronization
High frame rate video requires synchronized audio to prevent disorientation during video playback or testing. The audio stream is captured via Android native audio hooks, compressed with the low-latency Opus codec at 48kHz, and decoded through Web Audio API.
Because both video and audio pipelines share presentation timestamps (PTS), synchronization remains locked even over hours of continuous usage.
