Key Functions

If you’re working on a PC and want its apps and content to be shown on another screen, you’ll 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 Dongle. In this manual, mobile devices available for screen mirroring are referred to as “screen mirroring source”, which include Apple devices (iPhone/iPad/Mac), Android phones, Windows PCs and Dongles.

Chapter 10 of 33

  2. On your mobile device, swipe down from the top and tap the Cast icon or SmartView icon to select appropriate mirroring device from the pop-up connect menu.
  3. To disconnect mobile phone from the device click “DISCONNECT” on your mobile phone’s screen.

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

For Windows PC (Window 10 or higher):

  1. Enable the WiFi or WLAN feature of your PC.
  2. On your PC, press the combination keys to select appropriate mirroring device from the pop-up menu.
  3. To disconnect PC from the device: click Disconnect, 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 over Miracast due to compatibility issues.

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

Chapter 12 of 33

Screen Mirroring over Dongle

A Dongle enables users to share laptop’s content on a display wirelessly without even installing an application.

To pair a Dongle:

  1. Connect a Dongle to the PAIRING port of the device for pairing. Once pairing is completed, “Pairing successful” appears on the display screen.
  2. Connect the Dongle to a laptop. It will start running and connecting to the device’s soft AP. Once the Dongle connects to the device successfully, the Dongle LED stops blinking and starts lighting constantly.
  3. Now press the Dongle’s projecting button, you can share your laptop’s screen on the display immediately. Press and hold the button for at least 5 seconds, you will have your laptop’s screen displayed in full screen.

Chapter 13 of 33

Wireless Conference

Wireless Conference function enables a laptop to access the USB conference peripherals (such as a USB camera, a USB speakerphone, etc.) attached to the switcher wirelessly through a Dongle.
Here is how to use this feature:

  1. Pair between the device with the Dongle. Connect the Dongle to the PAIRING port to pair two devices. Once pairing is complete, remove the Dongle from the switcher.
  2. Insert the dongle into the laptop. A pop-up will appear in the bottom right corner of the desktop. Click it, and in the next pop-up, select “Run PureLink-Share-Setup.vbs” to install the application.
  3. The installation process will run in the background and the application will start automatically after the installation is successful.
  4. Connect the Dongle to the laptop’s USB-C port. The Dongle will be ready to transmit and receive signals in a few seconds. Note: Please make sure the USB-C port of the laptop supports audio and video output.
  5. Press the Wireless Conference button on the Dongle to connect between the laptop and the USB devices wirelessly. Now you can access the USB camera and the USB speakerphone through the laptop as you wish
Chapter 14 of 33

Multi-View

By default, the switcher allows up to two video sources to be displayed on a single screen.

Note: By default, Multi-View function is enabled and can be disabled through web UI (“Video Switching” section) and API commands. For more information about the API commands, see the separate API documentation.

Chapter 15 of 33

Network Mode Configuration

The device equips two Ethernet ports for networking flexibility and security, which support the following two network modes:

  1. Transparent Mode (Default Setting) In this mode, two Ethernet ports are interconnected with each other, and each one can be used for device control by connecting to the LAN where the controller resides, for BYOD communication, and for the attached device (e.g. room PC) to access network.
  2. Isolated Mode When the configuration item “Secure Ethernet Mode” on web UI is set to Enable, Isolated Mode is activated. For more information about enabling “Secure Ethernet Mode”, refer to Wired Network section. In Isolated Mode, the SECURE LAN port is used for controlling the device; the UTILITY LAN port is for BYOD communication and for the attached device to access network.
Chapter 16 of 33

Automatic Switching

The device supports automatic switching of input signals and display layouts. The automatic signal switching allows you to easily and quickly select desired sources, which follows the Last-In-First-Out rule as below:

  1. When one video source is connected to the device, the device will automatically output this video source to the display screen.
  2. When the video source being displayed is removed from the device, the device will automatically stop outputting this source to the display screen.

When the Multi-View feature is enabled, the automatic layout switching is effective,

and the device will automatically select the appropriate layout to display multiple video sources simultaneously:

  1. When a video source is being displayed in full screen, connect one more video source to the device, the device will automatically switch to the Dual-View layout.
Chapter 17 of 33

Key Functions

2. When two video sources are being displayed in Dual-View mode, connect an additional video source to the switcher, the latest input source will replace the source present longer on the screen.

3. When two video sources are being displayed in Dual-View, stop displaying one video source, the device will automatically switch to the full-screen Single-View layout.

Automatic Switching function is enabled by default, if you want to enable or disable this function, please refer to the Video Switching section.
The device also provides two methods to select specific video source manually:

  1. Using web UI (refer to “State & Switch” section).
  2. Using API commands. For more information, please see the separate API documentation.
Chapter 18 of 33

Guide Screen

The device outputs Guide Screen image when no video source is selected or being output. The Guide Screen can be personalised on the device’s Web UI page to convey customised connection instructions.

The Guide Screen is accessible in the following cases:

  • Automatic switching: disconnect all video sources from the device, the Guide Screen appears automatically.
  • Manual switching:
  • Log on to the web UI page to select Guide Screen for the HDMI outputs. For more information see the State & Switch section.
  • Send API command through telnet to the device to show the Guide Screen. For more information see the separate API documentation.

Tip: This Guide Screen image can be changed though Web UI, for more information refer to System Settings section.
By default, if the device is outputting Guide Screen for 60 seconds, a 60-second OSD countdown will appear on the Guide Screen. When the countdown reaches zero, the device will enter standby status.

Chapter 19 of 33
