AirMedia for AM-100 on iOS and Android
Since the iOS AirMedia sender application uses the built‑in iOS device screen mirroring feature, the AirMedia sender application will not present immediately after connecting to the AirMedia receiver. For detailed instructions on connecting to an AirMedia device from iOS, refer to either the AirMedia Series 3 Receivers Product Manual (Doc. 9020) or the AM‑200/AM‑300 Product Manual (Doc. 8254).
Connect with iOS App
Video Push
iOS apps for video streaming employ an alternate mode for playing videos on AirMedia Series 3 and AirMedia 2.0 devices called Video Push. When using these apps, video plays directly on the AirMedia receiver rather than on the device. The app may provide controls in the area of the app where the video would normally be played. This mode assists the iOS device in saving battery life as well as utilizing the wired portion of the network to further enhance playback reliability.

NOTES:
- Video streaming from third party apps may not work correctly on the AM-101.
- Video streaming apps may occasionally change the way they interact with iOS device mirroring that interferes with the correct operation of playback mode. When such compatibility breaks, the video streaming app must be updated to restore correct functionality.
- Video Push requires the sender and receiver to be on the same subnet.
