4. Operating Modes

The SmartSee Wireless Display Adapter supports two primary operating modes:

4.1 Wireless Display (Mirroring Mode)

In mirroring mode, the content displayed on your small screen (phone, tablet, laptop) is duplicated onto the larger connected display. This mode is ideal for sharing videos, photos, presentations, or any content directly as it appears on your source device. It supports casting from encrypted applications like Netflix, Hulu, and HBO.

4.2 Wireless Extend Screen Mode

This mode allows you to extend your laptop's screen to a second display wirelessly, providing more screen real estate for multitasking. This is particularly useful for productivity in meetings or for managing multiple applications simultaneously. Note: PC needs to support extending function.
