The Airtame device needs to be connected to a secured WiFi or hooked up via Ethernet. Miracast needs to be enabled in Airtame Cloud. The Airtame device needs to be running firmware version 4.1.0 or higher. Miracast over Infrastructure Requirements: Miracast over Infrastructure is included in firmware version 4.1.0 and above. Initial discovery is still done in a P2P (Peer to Peer) mode, but no APs need to be enabled.

The connection goes over the local network (LAN). This is a great option for those who want to let presenters use the built-in screen sharing functionality of their Windows devices, but do not want to have active access points on Airtame devices.

After every reboot or renaming, the Airtame Access Point will get the new name (if it is renamed) and random characters will be replaced by new ones.ĥ. When Miracast is enabled, the Airtame Access Point is renamed to DIRECT. You will just need to reconfigure your Windows display once and it will remember it from there on. If your PC has a secondary monitor attached, it might assign a low resolution to the Miracast device. The enabled access point needs to be password protected.Įnsure that bidirectional TCP traffic is allowed through the local port 7236 on Windows machines in order for streaming to be allowed. Miracast P2P is included in firmware version 3.9.0 and above.Īt least one of Airtame's access points needs to be enabled in the device settings in order to facilitate a P2P setup. The benefit of this is that screen sharing can take place independently of the network, as the connection is direct from a presenter’s PC to the Airtame’s own access point. The Peer 2 Peer (P2P) setup works the same way as far as the presenter is concerned, but the key difference is that it relies on the Airtame device's own access point (AP) being enabled. The Miracast native streaming protocol can work in two different ways: Peer 2 Peer and Miracast over Infrastructure. Miracast is supported on Airtame 2 devices, but not on the first generation of Airtame devices.Ģ. An additional benefit of Miracast is that as of firmware update 4.1.0, it supports Touchback functionality on interactive whiteboards. This is ideal for many presentation scenarios in which someone wants to view their presenter notes privately while sharing a different screen to Airtame. Miracast also lets Windows users extend their desktop and use Airtame as an additional display. The Miracast protocol lets you use the screen-sharing functionality that’s already built into Windows and Android devices, eliminating the need to install the Airtame desktop app.
