Multiple devices, or people, share their screen to the display using AllSync

This guide is for anyone using AllSync to mirror content from several transmitters (laptops, dongles, or mobile devices) to an i3CONNECT display. AllSync allows for up to 6 devices to share their screen at any one time. Any newly added devices will bump the oldest connected device from the sharing displays, unless that setting is disabled in the settings of AllSync.

Before you start

• All devices should be connected to the same network.

• All devices must use an AllSync transmitter, whether it is the PC-app or the Transmitter Dongle.

• The display must be using the most recent firmware update and running i3CONNECT Studio. This way your interface should look like the black one shown here.

Share multiple devices to AllSync

1. Each person starts sharing their device to the i3CONNECT display using the AllSync app or the AllSync Transmitter Dongle, but does not press on the Play button just yet.

2. From the extra casting features menu, choose the ‘ Connect Devices’ icon on the left. You will be shown a visual list of all of the devices that are connected using AllSync. The images show what is currently visible on the device’s screen.

3. Start screen sharing:

   1. From the receiver (display): Choose one device from the user list and tap on it to share.

   2. From the transmitter (device): press the Play button in the AllSync app or the large button on top of the AllSync Transmitter Dongle.

4. Enable split screen for multiple transmitters. Select transmitters from the Connected Devices icon on the display (receiver) or have more users press Play on their transmitters. AllSync will automatically switch to split screen when more than one transmitter is sharing.

Focus on one transmitter in split screen

Tap on the screen you want to focus on from the display, and then press the Maximize icon to make that transmitter full screen.

Return to split screen from single screen

If you’re focused on one screen, open the extra casting features menu by tapping on the arrow at the top of the display. Then open the Connected Devices list and press on the Minimize button to return to split screen mode.

Troubleshooting

• If split screen doesn’t appear, check that multiple transmitters are actively sharing.

• If you can’t switch focus or return to split screen, make sure you’re using the latest version of AllSync on all devices.
