Operating Instructions

Screen Mirroring Modes:

  • Mirror Mode: Your device's screen content is duplicated directly onto the connected display. This is ideal for presentations, sharing photos, or watching videos.
  • Extend Mode: (Availability depends on your source device and operating system) This mode allows your connected display to act as a secondary screen, extending your desktop space. This enables multitasking, such as watching a video on the large screen while working on your device.

Supported Applications and Platforms:

List of applications and services that work with the dongle and those that do not due to HDCP protection.
