Yes, Anyview Cast appears to be an app on the smart TV, allowing mobile devices to wirelessly cast/mirror/send content to the television set. Unfortunately, this seems to work with (certain) Android devices only. You may or may not be able to find a third-party Mac or PC mirroring app that would allow a similar functionality from a computer to this type of smart TV.


Alternatively, you may want to take a closer look at Apple TV and AirPlay.

Otherwise, it may become necessary to use an HDMI cable connection via an appropriate adapter.

Anyview Cast appears to be an app for Android devices, allowing content to be transmitted to a TV.


Exactly which Sharp smart TV model is it? Which MacBook Pro (model/year) do you have?


General information about connectivity can be found, for example, in the following article (but depending on the TV model, there may be other ways):
