Key Functions

Screen Mirroring
If you’re working on a PC and want its apps and content to be shown on another screen, you may want to consider mirroring your PC’s screen to that screen.
With screen mirroring support, the device allows you to share your mobile devices’ content wirelessly on any HDMI displays over Airplay Mirroring, Miracast, and/or Dongle. In this manual, mobile devices available for screen mirroring are referred to as “screen mirroring sources”, such as Apple devices (iPhone/iPad/Mac), Android phones, Windows PCs, Dongle, etc.
Screen Mirroring over Airplay (for Apple Devices)
a. Connect your iPhone/iPad/Mac to the device’s Wi-Fi.

• Wi-Fi SSID: as same as the device name and can be obtained from OSD at the upper right of the display screen. By default, it is set as eShare W50.
• Password: set through Web UI and can be obtained from OSD at the upper right corner of the display screen. By default, it is set as 12345678.

b. Open Control Center on your Apple device, tap to select the appropriate mirroring device (the device name can be obtained from the upper right corner of the display screen) from the pop-up menu.
c. To disconnect the Apple device from the device: click Stop Mirroring, and the display stops displaying your device’s screen.
Screen Mirroring over Miracast (for Android
Phones & Windows PCs)
For Android smartphones (take the Samsung Galaxy series for example):

1. Enable the Wi-Fi or WLAN feature of your smartphone.
2. On your phone, swipe down from the top and tap or   select the appropriate mirroring device (the device name can be obtained from the upper right corner of the display screen) from the pop-up CONNECT menu.
3. To disconnect the smartphone from the device: click “DISCONNECT” on your smartphone’s screen.

Note:

• The icon, instruction, and entrance of the Miracast function may vary on different Android phones, please refer to your phone’s manual to get accurate instructions.
• If you fail to use the Miracast function, please disable your phone’s Wi-Fi and enable it later, or restart the mobile if necessary.

For Windows PC (Window 10 or higher):

1. Enable the WLAN feature of your PC.
2. On your PC, press the combination keys “ + K” to select the appropriate mirroring device (the device name can be obtained from the upper right corner of the display screen) from the pop-up menu.
3. To disconnect the PC from the device: click Disconnect, and the display stops displaying the PC’s screen.

Note:

• The icon and interface of the Miracast function may vary on different computers.
• Some Windows 10/11 computers may fail to perform screen mirroring with Miracast due to compatibility issues.

Tip: Both the Airplay mirroring and Miracast support PIN codes. If you see the PIN entry window appears on your devices, input the PIN code that can be obtained through OSD (see OSD section for more information).

Screen Mirroring over Dongle
Users are able to share laptop content on a display wirelessly without even installing an application by using the eShare D10 Dongle.
Note:

1. eShare D10 Dongle is sold separately.
2. Before you insert the eShare D10 Dongle into your laptop, ensure your laptop’s USB-C port supports video output.

Steps to share the laptop’s screen on the display using eShare D10 Dongle:

1. Pair the Dongle with the device.
   Connect the Dongle to the Pairing port on the device’s front panel. Once pairing between Dongle and the device is completed, “Pairing successful” appears on the display screen.

2. Connect the Dongle to a laptop.
   Insert eShare D10 into the laptop’s USB-C port, it will start running and connecting to the device’s Wi-Fi. After it is connected to the device successfully, the Dongle LED stops blinking and starts lighting constantly.
   3. Now press the Dongle’s projecting button, you can protect your laptop’s screen on the display immediately.

Automatic Signal Switching
The device supports an automatic signal switching function, allowing you to output desired sources easily and quickly. This function follows the Last-In- First-Out rule:

1. When a wired video source (HDMI or USB-C) is connected to the device, the device will automatically switch to this latest connected source and output it.
2. When a wireless video source (Airplay, Miracast or Dongle) is connected to the device, the device will automatically project its screen content to the connected display.
3. When disconnecting the source being displayed from the device, the device will switch to the active wired video source that most recently connected or selected. If no active source remains, the display shows the Guide Screen image finally.

Guide Screen
The device outputs a Guide Screen picture when no video source is selected or output. The Guide Screen can be personalized to allow customized connection instructions on the device’s Web UI page.

Figure 1 – Guide Screen Image

The Guide Screen image will appear automatically on the display screen after all video sources are removed from the device.
Note:

• This Guide Screen image can be changed through Web UI, for more information, refer to the Guide Screen Change section.
• By default, if the device is outputting the Guide Screen image for 60 seconds, a countdown timer with a time period of 60 seconds will appear on the Guide Screen. When the timer reaches zero, the connected display will enter standby mode if it is CEC-capable.

OLD
The device supports OSD (on-screen display) to convey device basic information, including video source information, PIN code, device name, IP address, etc. See Figure 2 below:
