Getting Started Introduction Thank you for purchasing the ScreenCast AV wireless system. We built the ScreenCast AV system with a simple goal: to give people the chance to spend less time staring at their audio/ video components and more time watching their HDTV. Don’t get us wrong—we love our AV products. But we also like the idea of the living room being more about living and less about electronics.

General Information Your HDTV Your Audio/Video Source Components To get the most out of your ScreenCast AV system, we recommend an HDMI-enabled 1080p TV. ScreenCast AV is designed specifically for products enabled with HDMI technology like Blu-ray disc players, gaming systems, and cable or satellite receivers. If you have a 720p or 1080i TV it will still work, but you will lose some of the video quality that ScreenCast AV can provide.
General Information General Info on Range ScreenCast AV Receiver ScreenCast AV can reach up to 100 feet (30m) line-of-sight and approximately 30 feet (10m) through barriers like walls, cabinets, and doors. The receiver should be placed next to your HDTV since you will need to connect it to your HDTV via the included HDMI cable. You can choose to either wall-mount your receiver next to your HDTV with the included wall-mount kit, or set it on a TV stand or other shelf near your TV.
General Information ScreenCast AV Transmitter Controlling Your Video Sources The role of the transmitter is to wirelessly send the content from your AV source devices like Blu-ray disc players or satellite/cable boxes to your TV. There are two options for controlling the AV source products connected to the ScreenCast AV system: HDMI-CEC and IR. These approaches can be used in conjunction with one another, or you can use IR alone.
General Information HDMI-CEC HDMI-CEC is a relatively new standard that allows for devices connected to one another via HDMI to interact and control one another. In this version of ScreenCast we have implemented limited HDMI-CEC functionality to simple “standby” commands. If you activate HDMI-CEC on your TV and source device, ScreenCast will allow you to use the “standby” button on your TV remote to also put your HDMI-CEC source device into standby without having to use your source device’s remote.

This will give you a chance to pick a useful name from a list of common video source names. After this step, you are done with setup.
Daily Use with Your ScreenCast Remote and On-Screen Display Switching Video Sources If you choose a different video source and press “OK,” ScreenCast will begin switching. The screen will show you that it is in the process of connecting, like the example below. When you touch any button on your ScreenCast remote, the on-screen display will wake and show a screen like the one above. In this screen, you have the choice to exit, to pick one of the four video sources, or to access the Settings menus.

You also have the choice to rename just one of the sources.

For ease of use, the names on the list are pre-populated with a variety of standard device types; please choose the one that you feel best fits your source device.
ScreenCast AV Settings Naming/Renaming Transmitters ScreenCast AV can support up to eight transmitters. So in addition to the 4-port AV transmitter that came with this product, you might add other ScreenCast AV transmitters. For example, you might have a transmitter for your laptop, and another one for a tablet. You will then see the screen below, which will show you a list of the transmitters that have been connected to your receiver.
ScreenCast AV Settings Adding/Deleting a Transmitter Adding a Transmitter ScreenCast AV is part of the WHDI™ family, so it is possible to connect a variety of other ScreenCast transmitters to your ScreenCast AV receiver.

From your list of transmitters, select the device you want to delete and press “OK.” You will then see a screen asking you to confirm your choice, showing the name of the transmitter in the question.
ScreenCast AV Settings Turning Wireless On/Off There are very few situations where this would ever be necessary. If the wireless is turned off, ScreenCast AV will not communicate with any transmitters and video will not show. If you select “Yes” and elect to turn off the wireless, you will see the following screen: Even though it is not recommended, you may at some point want to turn off the wireless capabilities of the ScreenCast AV receiver.
ScreenCast AV Settings Setting/Changing the Language Using your ScreenCast AV remote, use the menu button to open up the menu screen and navigate to the “Settings” section.
