BYOD and Casting / Mirroring

Version V1.62

Cynap is designed to make it as easy as possible for users to connect to it. Cynap supports integrated mirroring protocols in its operating system. Users can connect to Cynap without needing any additional software. The supported platforms are AirPlay for iOS and macOS devices, Chromecast and Miracast for Android and Windows devices (Intel Wireless Display, WiDi, is also supported).

Depending on which service is used, the content will be mirrored or cast to Cynap. When using AirPlay the YouTube app of an iOS device is casting the source (providing the URL) to Cynap. When using Chromecast, Miracast, or vSolution Cast, the content of your screen will be mirrored to your Cynap system.

For increased security, use the protected mode or use PIN protection. The PIN, which will be shown in the status bar or as pop-up message, can be static or dynamic (depending on configuration).

vSolution App

The vSolution App allows content to be received from your Cynap and it allows the unit to be controlled.

 

Using our vSolution App for Android, iOS, macOS, or Windows, with a Cynap system, enables students or work colleagues to receive shared content and to control the unit.

A live stream of all presentation content, including audio can be captured, and recipients can personalize their own copy of the recorded stream by adding notes and annotations.

 

On Android, iOS and macOS, you can register your Cynap manually when device discovery services are blocked in your network, or at your device (Bonjour, mDNS, Bluetooth).
The app allows for easy controlling of webconferencing calls.

vSolution Capture

vSolution Capture is a professional lecture tool which offers a user to watch the presentation which is running on Cynap. The app allows recording and adding notes which can be merged as video subtitles.

The app is available in the respective app stores.

vSolution Cast (Windows)

In applications where a Wi-Fi direct connection is not possible due to the installation, multiple Windows devices can be connected at the same time using the vSolution Cast application as an alternative.

AirPlay

Support for iOS 5.0 (released 2011) and above, or OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion (released 2012) and above. AirPlay is transmitted via Ethernet / WLAN. It can be used for displaying up to four sources.

Chromecast built-in Screen Mirroring

Support for Chromecast capable devices. Chromecast (Google Cast) is transmitted via Ethernet / WLAN. It can be used for displaying up to four sources on-screen at the same time.

Miracast

Miracast Peer to Peer is based on a Wi-Fi direct connection. This means that Miracast can only be used in close proximity to Cynap. It can be used for displaying up to four sources.

Please note

Keep your system up-to-date with the latest patches and drivers to ensure the best user experience and the highest level of security. Outdated systems may not be fully supported.

AirPlay, Chromecast, Miracast and vSolution Cast are based on device discovery technologies for maximum ease of use. Therefore it is necessary that the appropriate services and network ports (see Firewall rules) are available and not blocked in any way. If Bonjour is blocked, use Bluetooth discovery or vSolution App to register the Cynap manually (there you can also enter the IP address or Cast ID). On Windows systems, vSolution Cast can either be run temporarily by users, or permanently installed (copied).

Switching Cynap to standby closes all connections.
