I'm not seeing anything on my HDTV screen after powering on the Receiver.
Check the cable connections and make sure the TV Input setting is the same as the HDMI
port to which the Receiver is connected.
I'm seeing artifacts and experiencing a choppy, juddering video stream.

In noisy Wi-Fi environments, audio and video freezes may be observed while playing video
content, and longer than expected latency may occur when streaming. To ensure you have
an optimal Wi-Fi environment:
• Disconnect and reconnect the Receiver.
• If the source device is connected to a wireless router, restart the router, or change the
wireless channel on your wireless router/AP. Refer to the wireless router’s user manual
for more information.
I'm seeing choppiness and brief pauses while watching Internet video on my
Miracast™ device.
Wireless interference may cause Internet video playback to be choppy. If this occurs, try the
following:
• Disconnect the device from the Receiver. Make sure the Internet connection is good and
that the video playing on the phone is smooth.
• Clear the YouTube cache and try playing the video again.
I'm seeing choppiness and brief pauses while watching local video on my Miracast™
device.
Wireless interference may cause the video playback to be choppy. If this occurs, try the
following:
• Make sure you are in the same room as the Receiver is.
• Set the media player to use the H/W decoder, if available.
• Reboot the Miracast™ device and Receiver and connect again.
• Avoid moving the Miracast™ device around too much.
• Change the wireless channel on your wireless router/access point, or on your receiver.

My Windows 10/8.1 displays to the TV but the four edges are cut off (overscan).
This is expected with some system's supported display resolution. You can adjust Windows
screen resolution settings to fit the PC's screen on your TV display.
I encounter connection failure with ScreenBeam 1100 and my device can’t connect to
it any more.
 Reboot the ScreenBeam 1100 and try connection again. Or, reboot your device
(laptop/Ultrabook/tablet/smartphone) and try connection again.
 Reboot both the ScreenBeam 1100 and your device and try connection again.
 If you are using a Windows 10/8.1 operating system, go to Change PC settings > PC
and Devices > Devices > Projectors, remove the profile of the ScreenBeam 1100 from
your device (PC/laptop/Ultrabook), and try connection again.
 If you are using a Windows 10 operating system, go to Settings > Devices > Connected
Devices > Projectors, remove the profile of the ScreenBeam 1100 from your device
(PC/laptop/Ultrabook), and try connection again.
I can’t connect to the Receiver with ScreenBeam Configuration Utility on my device.

The Utility can’t find the Receiver.
ScreenBeam 1100 is not compatible with ScreenBeam Configuration Utility. To configure or
upgrade the receiver, you should use the receiver’s Local Management Interface or
ScreenBeam Central Management System.
When I connect the source device to a wireless network (router/AP), why ScreenBeam
1100 disconnects automatically?
The source device’s communication channel has changed when you connect your device to
a wireless network (router/AP) in the situation that the source device is connected to
ScreenBeam 1100. As a result, ScreenBeam 1100 disconnects from the source device.
The solution is that you should connect your device to the wireless network before connecting
it to ScreenBeam 1100. In this way, ScreenBeam 1100 works on the same channel with the
source device and the wireless network, and no connection interruption will occur.
FAQs
Can I view protected content if ScreenBeam 1100 receiver is connected a display

through the VGA port?
No. The VGA port does not support playback of protected content such as blue-ray.
74
How can I tell if my device supports Wi-Fi Miracast?
Look for one of the following Miracast applications on your device. Only some application
names are listed below. Different manufacturers may have different names for the Miracast
apps on their products. But, they should indicate similar meaning.
 Connect
 Wireless display
 Wireless mirroring
 Screen mirroring
 AllShareCast (Samsung devices only)
 Cast screen
Visit ScreenBeam 1100 compatibility page for the recommended Miracast devices.
Do I need to install drivers/apps to use the ScreenBeam 1100 Receiver?

 For Windows 7/8, you need to install ScreenBeam USB Transmitter and ScreenBeam
wireless display software.
 For Windows 8.1/10, you only need to install the latest Windows updates.
 For Android 4.2 or higher, no app is required.
 For Apple devices that support AirPlay, no app is required.
How can I improve my video/audio performance?

You can try the following methods to improve the ScreenBeam 1100’s video/audio
performance:
 Place your device closer to the Receiver.
 Connect your device to a wireless network that is using a cleaner wireless channel or
change the wireless channel on the current wireless network, and then connect the
device to the Receiver.
 Turn off the Wi-Fi devices that are not in use currently.
What wireless signal range can I expect with the Receiver?

The Receiver is designed to be used in the same room with the source device. For best
performance, the source device should be placed within 20 meters to the Receiver.
Do I need an existing wireless network to use the Receiver?

No.
The Receiver connects directly with the Miracast™-enabled device, and no wireless network
is needed. However, the source device needs to be connected to an Internet router or data
network to view online content.
For Apple devices that support AirPlay, you can connect to the receiver’s local Wi-Fi, then
start screen mirroring.
How can I adjust the display to fit properly to my TV screen?
You can adjust the display by using the receiver’s Local Management Interface or
ScreenBeam Central Management System.
 Log into the receiver’s Local Management Interface and adjust the display in the Adjust
TV Screen Size section of the Features page.
75
 In the ScreenBeam Central Management System, double click the receiver to open the
receiver configuration page, and then adjust the TV screen size in the Features section.
How to set the ScreenBeam video output to fit a display with aspect ratio other than
16:9?
 ScreenBeam receiver's HDMI output supports 16:9 resolutions only.
 To output an aspect ratio other than 16:9, please use the receiver’ VGA output.
 The display device must provide EDID information. Otherwise, ScreenBeam outputs the
1024*768 resolution when using the receiver’ VGA output.
 The VGA cable must support I2S (has 3+6, or 3+9 lines).
 Set the resolution to the desired one on the source device. Make sure the resolution is
supported by the source device, the adapter, and the display device. Otherwise, the
display is stretched or has black edges.
 If you are using the receiver’ VGA output, log into the receiver's local management
console, go to Features > Display Setting > Default VGA Format, and properly set up
the Default VGA Format feature.
Can I extend my Windows desktop to the HDTV or Projector from my Miracast device?
Yes. After the connection to ScreenBeam 1100 receiver is established, by default you should
see the laptop screen mirrored to the HDTV or Projector.
To extend your Windows desktop to an HDTV or a Projector, press the Windows key and P
key together, and select the "Duplicate", “Extend” or "Second screen only" mode.
To extend your macOS desktop to an HDTV or a projector, select the AirPlay icon on the
menu bar and select a desired projection mode from Mirror Built-in Display, Mirror Apple
TV, and Use As Separate Display.
What is Wi-Fi Miracast™?

Wi-Fi Certified Miracast™ is a groundbreaking solution for seamlessly displaying video
between devices, without cables or a network connection. Users can view pictures from a
smartphone on a big screen television, share a laptop screen with the conference room
projector in real-time, and watch live programs from a home cable box on a tablet. Miracast™
connections are formed using Wi-Fi Certified Wi-Fi Direct™, so access to a Wi-Fi® network
is not needed–the ability to connect is inside Miracast™-certified devices.
What is Wi-Fi Direct and can I connect to the Receiver using Wi-Fi Direct?
Wi-Fi Direct is a peer-to-peer technology that Miracast™ connections are formed in. Even
though some newer Android 4.0 and Windows 8.1 devices may detect the Receiver in the
Wi-Fi Direct devices scan list, they will not be able to connect to the Receiver. The device
must support Miracast™ to connect with the Receiver.
Can I connect to the Wi-Fi router and the Receiver simultaneously with my compatible
laptop?
Yes. Connect the laptop to an available Wi-Fi router first, and then connect to the Receiver.
You can then view online content and beam it to the HDTV.
76
Can I connect to the Wi-Fi router and the Receiver simultaneously with my Miracast™
device?
Some Miracast™ devices cannot connect to both the Wi-Fi router and the Receiver at the
same time. Refer to the device manufacturer's or carrier's user manual for more information.
Can I connect several Miracast devices to the Receiver simultaneously?

This connection scenario is available in Classroom Commander mode. Refer to the
Classroom Commander user guide for details.
Can I connect to multiple ScreenBeam 1100 Receivers simultaneously?

No. You can only connect to one ScreenBeam 1100 at a time.
My TV/Projector does not have an HDMI Input. Can I still use ScreenBeam 1100?
Yes. A VGA port is available for compatibility with legacy display devices.
Can ScreenBeam 1100 support UIBC?

Yes. ScreenBeam 1100 supports UIBC. The source device must install a Window 10 system
and meet the following hardware requirements:
 4th Gen Intel Core (Haswell or better) processor
 AMD A4-5000 (Kabini or better) processor
Can I push media to the Receiver using DLNA?

No. The Receiver is not a DLNA media receiver.
Does the Receiver work with the Apple iPhone, iPad, or iPod?
Yes. ScreenBeam 1100 can works with Apple devices that support AirPlay screen mirroring.
How to set my receiver to use the 5G frequency?

Generally, the 5G band can provide clearer channels, and the receiver works in this band
can produce better performance.
To set your receiver on the 5G band, you must prepare a 5G router first. Note: not all
routers support the 5G band. You can confirm this with the product manufacturer.
When a 5G router is available, connect your device to the 5G router first, and then connect
your device to your receiver. Then your receiver will work in the 5G band.
"Allow input from a keyboard or mouse connected to this display" is displayed even
no USB device is connected to the ScreenBeam receiver. Would it have any impact on
the Miracast connection if the option is checked while no USB device is present?
No. This is a standard behavior of Windows 10.
