SynCE-KDE KCEMirror is a system to interact with a Windows CE device by simply using your desktops display, mouse, and
keyboard. This system is made up of two dependent software components:
Screensnap is used on the Windows CE side to capture the screen of the device continuously, to compress this captured
image and to send it over the network to the client software on the PC. It is also responsible for synthesing keyboard
and mouse events on the Windows CE device, received from the PC client software.
kcemirror is the client software on the PC side. It receives the compressed image of the Windows CE screen,
decompresses it and displays it on the PC's screen.
