Settings overview of the display app for AllSync

The AllSync display app home-screen is your launchpad for wireless sharing on i3CONNECT interactive displays. Use this guide if you’re new to AllSync or need a quick refresher on what each icon and label means. If you’re using the AllSync transmitter dongle or a non-i3CONNECT receiver, refer to their specific guides.

Setting

Description

NETWORK

WiFi Display Mode

Sets the way the WiFi name is displayed in the AllSync display-app, and on the home-screen in the top right corner of i3CONNECT Studio.

  • Same as display = Shows the same WiFi name as the currently active WiFi connection on the display. When cabled it says ‘LAN’.

  • Alias = Shows the name written in the Custom Network Name setting below. Often used when the display is connected by cable to make the WiFi network clear for user devices.

Custom Network Name

If Alias is selected in the above setting, you can enter a custom network name here. This overrides the name you have attached the display to in the AllSync app and the i3CONNECT Studio home-screen

SHARING BEHAVIOUR

Multiview overwrite

AirPlay Exclusive Mode

Only allow a single AirPlay stream at a time to improve image quality.

  • ON: The display-app only allows one Airplay session at a time.

  • OFF: The display-app accepts multiple Airplay sessions simultaneously. The quality of sharing, and amount of sessions, depends on the display’s remaining system resources.

Moderator Mode

Start and stop clients from streaming with on-screen controls. See:

Moderator Mode: control which device shares to AllSync

Connectivity

Enable or disable screen sharing in AllSync. This is needed if you wish to use another screen sharing device or app instead. It prevents the screen from appearing in the lists of castable displays.

Mode

How the connect code is generated:

  • Random = Generate 4 digits randomly every time the app is launched.

  • ON = Assign 4 digits which remain the same each time the app is launched.

  • OFF = No sharing code is required. Users can share instantly. Note: also unwanted users.

Code

If the mode above is set to ON, you can enter your preferred 4 digit connection code here.

AllSync Dongle

Setting

Description

+ Pair AllSync Dongle

This allows you to connect an AllSync Transmitter dongle to the display. Tapping this starts the pairing setup wizard which includes instructions on how to pair the dongle.

Pairing requires that you plug the dongle into a device that is on, and can be done with the display’s own USB-C port if no laptop is nearby.

This page is only for starting the pairing wizard, and it does not show a list of paired dongles. To learn how to pair a dongle, follow this instruction:

Your AllSync display app may appear different

In that case you are likely using an older version of AllSync on your display or another sharing tool. If that is the case, you will need to use best judgement for how it all works, as this guide is written for the most recent version.

AllSync tends to work in very similar ways, and then the guides are still useful! Check this page for the screenshots of older editions to be sure you are using AllSync:
