      NOTES: If AirMedia Canvas is disabled, Canvas Session Control can remain enabled. In this scenario, session controls are available for all connected users, but only one source can present at a time.

    • Source Types: Select one of the radio buttons to select which sources can share space on the display. Select All to allow all source types (HDMI, AirMedia, Miracast, and AirPlay) to share space on the display. Select Network Only to allow only wireless sources (AirMedia, Miracast, and AirPlay) to share space on the display. HDMI sources will present in full screen if selected.

    • Max Presentation Limit: Select the maximum amount of sources that can present simultaneously.

  • AirMedia Client Settings

    • Timeout: Select an amount of time (in minutes) before an inactive, connected user is automatically disconnected from the receiver. An inactive user is not actively presenting but still connected to the receiver.

AirMedia Canvas Functionality

AirMedia Canvas allows multiple sources to present simultaneously on the display. AirMedia Canvas automatically configures the best possible layout to maximize screen coverage based on the number of active sources, the type of sources, their orientation, and their aspect ratios.

The following sources can share space on a display simultaneously:

  • AirMedia (Windows, Android, Mac, iOS, AirPlay/Miracast)

    NOTE: The AirMedia extension for Chrome OS is not supported and will only be allowed to present full screen.

  • HDMI

    NOTE: When the AirMedia Canvas feature is enabled, the 4:2:0 color space is used for high definition sources connected to the HDMI input port. When the AirMedia Canvas feature is disabled, the 4:4:4 color space is used. If the 4:4:4 color space is required by sources connected to the HDMI input port, the AirMedia Canvas should be disabled.

When enabled, AirMedia Canvas works as follows:

  • If one source is active, the source presents in full screen.

  • If multiple sources are active, the sources present in a way that maximizes screen coverage depending on their aspect ratios.

  • When multiple sources are active, and all but one of the sources is disconnected, the single source returns to full screen.

  • If the maximum amount of sources is reached and another source is selected, then the first active source is docked (AirMedia user) or disconnected (hard wired inputs, AirPlay connection, or Miracast connection). When docked, the source stops presenting but remains connected to the display.

  • When all sources are disconnected, the display shows the front of the room experience splash screen.

When AirMedia Canvas is disabled, the display shows one source at a time.

For details on using a touch screen to control AirMedia Canvas, refer to AirMedia Canvas. For details on using a computer or iOS device to control AirMedia canvas, refer to Share Content .

Network Adapter

Dual LAN Functionality (AM‑3200(‑WF)(‑I) models only)

AirMedia Series 3 receivers provide dual LAN connectivity for isolated internal and guest networks. Users may present via AirMedia or connect to the receiver's web configuration interface when connected to either network.

The secondary LAN port is intended solely for use with a guest network. The secondary LAN port has limited functionality and does not support the following devices and services:

  • XiO Cloud service

  • Crestron Fusion software

  • Scheduling services (such as Google Calendar or Microsoft 365 software)

  • Occupancy sensors

  • Touch screen control

  • ChromeOS presentation

  • Power over Ethernet

Make LAN connections to the receiver as described in the AM‑3200, AM‑3200‑WF, and AM‑3200‑WF‑I Quick Start guide (Doc. 8986).

Application Downloads

Select Application Downloads to configure how AirMedia client applications are presented to the user for download. Client applications are required to present from a user's computer as described in Present with AirMedia.

AirMedia Screen - Application Downloads

Select a radio button for the Windows Download and MacOS Download settings to decide how AirMedia client applications are presented to users according to their computer's operating system:

  • Off: Provide the version of the AirMedia application included with the receiver's firmware.

  • Cloud: Provide the latest version of the AirMedia application stored in the Cloud. The receiver checks for an update once a day at 2:00 am (local time).

  • Remote Server: Provide a version of the AirMedia application that is hosted on a remote server. When selected, enter the URL of the remote server in the Server URL field.

  • Update Now: Update the AirMedia application according to the Windows Download or MacOS Download setting.

    NOTE: If the setting is changed from Cloud or Remote Server to Off, the receiver will provide the application version that is included with the device's firmware (even if it is an older version than what is available in the cloud or the remote server).

  • Automatically Connect to this Receiver: When enabled, the AirMedia receiver's IP address is appended to the application download for automatic connection. When disabled, the standard guest AirMedia application is downloaded. Enabling automatic connection makes it easy for users to present to the specific receiver quickly. Certain organizations may elect to download the guest application so that users can launch it again later to connect to different receivers.

Miracast

Miracast technology allows users to wirelessly share content from a Microsoft® Windows® 10 device to the receiver. Miracast technology is built into the Microsoft Windows 10 operating system, so no additional software installation is required.

NOTE: Refer to the AirMedia Presentation Gateway Security Reference Guide (Doc 7693) for best practices for configuring the system for Miracast.

A Miracast connection consists of two phases: the discovery phase and the connection phase. During the discovery phase, the Windows 10 device uses Wi‑Fi based discovery to find compatible receivers. Once the receiver is discovered by the Windows 10 device, it is presented in a list on the device. The user can then select the receiver for connection to the Windows 10 device.

During the connection phase, the Windows 10 device will first attempt to connect to the receiver through the existing network infrastructure. If the connection over infrastructure fails, the Windows 10 device will connect to the receiver.

AirMedia Screen - Miracast

  • Miracast: Turn the toggle on to enable Miracast on the receiver.

  • Default Windows Experience: Select one of the radio buttons (Miracast or AirMedia Windows Sender) to select the default connection experience for Windows 10 users when they connect to the receiver via a web browser.

    • Select Miracast to display instructions for connecting to the receiver via Miracast.

    • Select AirMedia Windows Sender to prompt the user to download the AirMedia sender application.

  • Miracast Connection Modes: Select one of the radio buttons (Infrastructure, WiFi Direct Only, or Both) to configure how a Mircast capable device connects to the receiver.

    • Select Infrastructure to connect via the local area network. When selected, Wi‑Fi is used for discovery only.

    • Select WiFi Direct Only to connect via a Wi‑Fi point‑to‑point connection (Wi‑Fi Direct® connection). When selected, Wi‑Fi is used for discovery and for streaming.

    • Select Both to connect via a local area network or Wi‑Fi point‑to‑point connection (Wi‑Fi Direct® connection). When selected, a Wi‑Fi point‑to‑point connection only occurs if the local area connection fails.

      NOTE: When WiFi Direct Only or Both is selected, Login Code Mode must be set to Random or Fixed as described in Code.

Connect Devices

AirMedia Connect devices can be connected to personal devices to instantly share content with a paired Wi-Fi network capable AirMedia receiver.
