Miracast

Version V1.62

Connects your Miracast device to the Miracast network of Cynap Core PRO. Cynap Core PRO is equipped with a dedicated and separate wireless interface for Miracast P2P (Peer to Peer) networks, addresses cannot be changed. Alternatively MS-MICE can be activated to enable the normal network to be used for Miracast connections (Miracast over Infrastructure Connection Establishment protocol).

Simply enable Miracast in the Mirror Settings of Cynap Core PRO and start the Miracast function on your device using the normal procedure of the respective operating system.

Cynap Core PRO will open a new window displaying the content of your device.

Miracast needs to be enabled in the Mirror Settings of Cynap Core PRO. For increased security, the Miracast PIN can be used, which will be shown in the status bar, or as a pop-up message (depending on configuration).

Miracast is based on a Wi-Fi direct. This means that Miracast P2P can only be used in close proximity to Cynap Core PRO. If a cabinet is used, it will further reduce the possible transmission radius and may cause a slower or broken connection. (Miracast P2P allows reliable connections up to a distance of approximately 7m).

High WLAN traffic in your environment may reduce the possible radius, increase the delay of picture transfer or result in reduced image quality (MS-MICE support could help to increase the radius, the discovery beacon will be always sent by the dedicated built-in Miracast WLAN module).

Some devices are sharing their wireless interface for WLAN and Miracast, follow the instructions manual of your device to ensure optimal performance.

Cynap Core PRO supports Miracast without HDCP, disable HDCP on your device to allow connecting and content sharing.

Intel Wireless Display (WiDi) supports Miracast from version 3.5 onwards, and it is integrated natively since Windows 8.1

Some firewall applications require WiDi (WUDFHost.exe) to be enabled. Consult your firewall application documentation for more information.

Certain devices are not able to act as Miracast clients together with Cynap Core PRO as master (server). In such environments, switch Cynap Core PRO to Miracast Client in the settings.

Miracast MICE is not supported by every operating system, check the specifications. If MS-MICE is not supported by your device, Cynap Core PRO will use P2P mode as fallback automatically (using the built-in dedicated Miracast WLAN module).

When using Microsoft Windows PCs or tablets with older hardware or OS, vSolution Cast / vSolution App may be used as an alternative to facilitate connection.

To return mouse and keyboard events from Cynap Core PRO to the PC, enable UIBC (user input back channel enabled) in the settings. This option has to be enabled on the third party device.

Miracast supports several resolutions, depending on Miracast-device used. Higher resolutions are increasing the network traffic.

Microsoft requires at least WPA2 for using Miracast MS-MICE over WLAN.
