®
connections are formed using Wi-Fi Certified Wi-Fi Direct™, so access to a Wi-Fi network
is not needed–the ability to connect is inside Miracast™-certified devices.
What is Wi-Fi Direct and can I connect to the Receiver using Wi-Fi Direct?
Wi-Fi Direct is a peer-to-peer technology that Miracast™ connections are formed in. Even
though some newer Android 4.0 and Windows 8.1 devices may detect the Receiver in the
Wi-Fi Direct devices scan list, they will not be able to connect to the Receiver. The device
must support Miracast™ to connect with the Receiver.
Can I connect to the Wi-Fi router and the Receiver simultaneously with my Intel WiDi
laptop?
Yes. Connect the laptop to an available Wi-Fi router first, and then connect to the Receiver.
You can then view online content and beam it to the HDTV.
Can I connect to the Wi-Fi router and the Receiver simultaneously with my Miracast™
device?
Some Miracast™ devices cannot connect to both the Wi-Fi router and the Receiver at the
same time. Refer to the device manufacturer's or carrier's user manual for more information.
Can I connect several Intel WiDi or Miracast devices to the Receiver simultaneously?
No. You can connect one device to the Receiver at a time.
Can I connect to multiple ScreenBeam Pro EDU-2 Receivers simultaneously?
No. You can only connect to one ScreenBeam Pro EDU-2 at a time.
My TV/Projector does not have an HDMI Input. Can I still use ScreenBeam Pro EDU-2?
Yes. An HDMI-to-VGA adapter is available for compatibility with legacy display devices. The
adapter is an optional item.
Can Microsoft Surface Pro tablet output Intel WiDi?
Originally, Microsoft Surface Pro does not support wireless display. However, it can support
wireless display after you upgrade its operating system to Windows 8.1. The latest Microsoft
Surface 2 and Surface Pro 2 with Windows 8.1 can support wireless display.
Can I use the ScreenBeam Pro EDU-2 to access online content directly?
No. ScreenBeam Pro EDU-2 does not directly connect to the Internet. You must use a source
device (laptop/Utrabook/tablet/smartphone) to wirelessly stream the online content to your
Receiver.
Can ScreenBeam Pro EDU-2 support UoIP?
No. ScreenBeam Pro EDU-2 does not support UoIP.
