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 source”, such as Apple devices (iPhone/iPad/Mac), Android phones, Windows PCs, Dongle, etc.

Dual View Display

When only one HDMI output port (either HDMI OUT1 or HDMI OUT2) is attached to an HDMI display, the device supports Dual View Display, that is, up to two video sources can be displayed on one single screen.

If two video sources are being played in Dual View Display mode on the display screen of HDMI OUT1/HDMI OUT2, connect an additional video source to the device, this latest input source will replace the source that displays longer on the screen.

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 only one video source is connected to the device, HDMI OUT 1 and/or HDMI OUT 2 automatically output this video source to the display screens.
2. When a video source is to be input in the case that two video sources are being played in dual view on one display screen, this latest input source will replace either of the sources and display on the screen. More information, see the switching mechanism in Dual View Display section.
3. When no active video source is being input to the device, the output display shows the Guide Screen image finally.

Display of HDMI OUT1 and HDMI OUT2 Outputs

When both HDMI OUT1 and HDMI OUT2 are connected to display screens respectively, dual view display function is disabled and the two HDMI outputs function as follows:

1. Each of the HDMI outputs display in single view on its corresponding display screen.
2. If the device detects no active video source input, both HDMI outputs display Guide Screen.
3. If the device detects only one active video source input, both HDMI outputs display this video source.
4. If the device detects the quantity of the video source input increases from one to two, the later input source is assigned to HDMI OUT2, and the earlier one is still at HDMI OUT1.
5. If the device detects an additional video source is to be input in the case that two input video sources have existed, then the latest input source replaces the source that remains longer and outputs through the corresponding HDMI OUT port

Guide Screen

The device outputs Guide Screen image when no active video source is detected. The Guide Screen can be personalized to convey customized connection instructions through the device’s Web UI page.

Figure 1– Guide Screen Image

The Guide Screen image appears automatically on the display screen in a period of time after all video sources are removed from the device.

Note:

• This Guide Screen image can be changed though Web UI, for more information, refer to Guide Screen Change section.
• By default, if the device has been output Guide Screen image for 60 seconds, a 60-second countdown appears on the Guide Screen. When the countdown is over, the connected display will enter standby mode if it is CEC-capable.
