How to use Miracast on the CSE-200+

The ClickShare CSE-200+ has been certified for the Miracast Release2 (R2) standard as from the 1.8.0.6 firmware release.
 

Streaming with Miracast

Miracast streaming with CSE-200+ Base Unit works in two stages: Discovery and Connection.

In the discovery stage, the Miracast enabled devices (typically Windows 10 computers or certain Android smartphones) searches for the CSE-200+ Base Unit enabled for Miracast streaming (option Streaming via Miracast must be enabled in the Base Unit ClickShare Configurator). The discovery always happens via the Miracast Wi-Fi beacons sent out by Base Unit. These beacons are sent out regardless of the state of the Wi-Fi configuration of the Base Unit.

In the second stage, the connection for content sharing is established with the Base Unit using either MS-MICE or P2P functionality. 

1. If the Base Unit can be reached over the corporate network, an MS-MICE connection will be preferred and established.
2. If the Base Unit cannot be reached over the network, a Miracast P2P connection will be set up. 

In the latter case, the Miracast receiver (i.e. Base Unit) creates its own wireless network and the device connects directly (via P2P) to it without compromising its personal Wi-Fi connection. This means that your PC or tablet can still be online via its Wi-Fi connection while streaming over Miracast.

Note: An inherent limitation of the Miracast P2P connection is that only one device can be shown on screen at a time.
