3.4. Tips for Optimal Performance
For optimal performance, you can try these tips:
• Keep the Receiver within line-of-sight of the source device. Doing this will help ensure
the Receiver receives the best possible signal.
• The Receiver's optimal wireless range is within 30 feet from the source device. However,
actual range and effectiveness depends on many factors, including other sources of
interference and the building materials used in the surrounding structure.
• Avoid placing the receiver near wireless interference sources, such as electric fans,
items with motors, microwave ovens, cordless phones.

16
Part IV. Control and Display
This chapter describes the display modes and control options that are supported by the
Receiver.
4.1. Intel Pro WiDi and Managed Meetings
ScreenBeam Pro supports the Managed Meetings feature, which is provided with Intel Pro
WiDi (Gen 5). The Managed Meetings feature allows meeting participants to share their
screens interactively, or allow the owner (the first connected user who has set the interactive
mode to “I can request others to present”) to manage other participants.
There are three meeting modes available when the Managed Meetings function is enabled.
Only I present. No one else can share or take control.
Others can request to present. Other people can request control/sharing.
I can request others to present. You control sharing.
Note: To use these meeting modes, you must enable the Managed Meetings function in the
local management server. Refer to Section 5.3.4. Setting up Managed Meetings for details.
Note: The Gen 5 Intel WiDi (WiDi 5.x.x.x) requires the Haswell systems.
Note: For detailed operation and related information about Intel Pro WiDi, refer to
http://www.actiontec.com/prowidi.

17
4.2. Display Mode
The Receiver supports three display modes when connected with a compatible wireless
display application (Intel WiDi or Windows 8.1 Project, for example).
In Windows, press the Windows logo and Pkeys simultaneously ( + P) to launch the
display options and select the desired display mode from the options.
Duplicate
The Duplicate mode is used to display the same content on both the device's screen and
the HDTV simultaneously.
Note: There may be minor delay between the content displayed on the HDTV screen
compared to the device’s screen. This is due to the current state of wireless display
technology.
Extend
The Extend mode creates a single, extended "screen" between the source device and the
HDTV. When in the Extend mode, dragging windows to the right side of the device's screen
displays those windows on the HDTV, while dragging windows to the left of the HDTV screen
displays them back on the device's screen. This mode allows users to display selected
content on the HDTV, while all other windows remain on the device's screen. When this mode
is first selected, the HDTV displays only the Windows desktop.
Second Screen Only
The Second Screen Only mode causes the HDTV to be the only display for the device.
You’ll see everything on the connected screen, and your device’s screen will be blank.
4.3. Ultra-Low Delay
The Receiver also supports ultra-low delay, which helps reduce end-to-end wireless display
latency. Real-time applications, such as games, can run without noticeable delay when the
Ultra-Low Delay mode is enabled on supported devices.
