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 code. 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’s content on a display wirelessly without even installing an application by using eShare D10 Dongle.

Note:

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

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

2. Connect 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 project your laptop’s screen on the display immediately.

Automatic Signal Switching

The device supports automatic signal switching function, allowing you to output desired sources easily and quickly. This function follows 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 disconnect 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 Guide Screen picture when no video source is selected or being output. The Guide Screen can be personalized to allow customized connection instructions on the device’s Web UI page.
The Guide Screen image will appear automatically on the display screen after all video sources are removed from the device.
