Key Functions
Screen Mirroring
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.
Screen Mirroring over Airplay (for Apple Devices)
Screen Mirroring over Miracast (for Android Phones & Windows PCs)
For Android smartphone (take Samsung Galaxy series for example):
Note:
- The icon, instruction and entrance of the Miracast function may vary on different Android phones, please refer to your phone’s manual to get accurate instruction.
- If you fail to use Miracast function, please disable your phone’s Wi-Fi and enable it later, or restart the mobile if necessary.
For Windows PC (Window 10 or higher):
- Enable the WLAN feature of your PC.
- On your PC, press the combination keys “
+ K” to select appropriate mirroring device (the device name can be obtained from the upper right corner of the display screen) from the pop-up menu. - To disconnect PC from the device: click Disconnect, the display stops displaying PC’s screen.
Important:
- The icon and interface of the Miracast function may vary on different computers.
- Some Windows 10/11 computers may fail to perform screen mirroring with 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 that can be obtained through OSD (see OSD section for more information).
Screen Mirroring over Dongle
Users are able to share laptop’s content on a display wirelessly using the eShare D30 Dongle, no additional installation of application is required.
Note:
(1) eShare D30 Dongle is sold separately.
(2) Before you plug eShare D30 Dongle into your laptop, ensure your laptop’s USB-C port supports video output.
Steps to share laptop’s screen on the display using eShare D30 Dongle:
- Pair the Dongle with the device.
Connect the Dongle to the Pairing port on the device’s front panel. Once pairing between Dongle and the device is completed, “Pairing successful” appears on the display screen. - Connect the Dongle to a laptop.
Insert the Dongle into the laptop’s USB-C port, it starts running and connecting to the device’s Wi-Fi. After it is connected to the device’s Wi-Fi successfully, the Dongle LED turns from blinking to lighting constantly. - Now press the Dongle’s projecting button, you can project your laptop’s screen on the display immediately.
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:
- Connect USB conference peripherals to the USB-A ports of the switcher.
- Pair between the switcher and the Dongle.
Connect the Dongle to the switcher’s PAIRING port to pair two devices.
Once pairing is complete, remove the Dongle from the switcher. - Plug the Dongle into the laptop.
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. - Press the Wireless Conference button on the Dongle to connect between the laptop and the USB devices wirelessly.
Multiview
When only one HDMI output port (either HDMI OUT1 or HDMI OUT2) is attached to an HDMI display, the switcher supports Multiview, that is, allows up to four video sources to be displayed on a single screen.
If four video sources are being played on one display screen of HDMI OUT1/HDMI OUT2, connect an additional video source to the device, this latest input source will replace the source that presents longest on the screen.
Note: By default, Multiview function is enabled, and can be disabled through web UI (go to Web UI > Video Settings > Video Switching section) and API commands. For more information about the API commands, see the separate API documentation.
Automatic Switching
The device supports automatic signal switching function, allowing you to output desired sources with ease. This function follows Last-In-First-Out rule:
- 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.
- When a video source is to be input in the case that four video sources are being played in Multiview mode on one display screen, this latest input source will replace the source that presents the longest on the screen. For more information, see the switching mechanism in Multiview section.
- 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 two display screens respectively, Multiview function is disabled and the two HDMI outputs function as follows:
- Each of the HDMI outputs display in single view on its corresponding display screen.
- If the device detects no active video source input, both HDMI outputs display Guide Screen.
- If the device detects only one active video source input, both HDMI outputs display this video source.
- 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.
- 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 presents longer and outputs to the corresponding HDMI OUT port.
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.
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 System Settings 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.
OSD
The device supports OSD (on screen display) to convey device basic information, including video source’s information, Access code, device name and IP address, etc. Here are two different OSD examples in different scenarios.
Example 1: Displays in single view
Web UI
The Web UI designed for this device allows for basic controls and advanced settings. It can be accessed through a modern browser, e.g. Chrome, Safari, Firefox, IE10+, etc.
To get access the Web UI:
- Connect the LAN port of the device to a local area network. Ensure there’s a DHCP server in the network so that the device can obtain a valid IP address.
- Connect a PC to the same network as the device.
- Input the device’s IP address in the browser and press Enter, the following window pops up. (See OSD section to easily view the IP address.)
