Frequent Q & A
Q1: Why I can’t screen mirroring or casting contents of Netflix and
Amazon Prime Video from my iOS devices?
A1: Content from Netflix and Amazon Prime Video can’t be directly
casted due to license restrictions. We recommend you to buy one of
the following casting products and plug it in the HDMI connector of
i400 for streaming video content:
Q2: Can my iOS device connect with a Bluetooth speaker while
screen mirroring on the i400?
A2: If screen mirroring is wireless via AirPlay, then audio can only be
delivered directly from the embedded speakers of the i400.
Q3: Can my Android device connect with a Bluetooth speaker while
screen mirroring on the i400?
A3: If screen mirroring is wireless via MIracast, then audio can only be
delivered directly from the embedded speakers of the i400.
Q4: What can I do about the inconsistent and choppy playback of
content when screen-mirroring on my device?
A4: This could be due to various factors (physical objects, distance,
interference from other devices on similar frequencies, limited
bandwidth etc.) that can affect the performance of the i400 within
your Wi-Fi environment. Unstable content playback and projection
is usually the common issue due to this.
We recommend you first try to identify the cause of the issue
affecting your Wi-Fi performance and remedy it.
If you require a reliable screen mirroring experience, we suggest
that you connect your device to the i400 via a physical HDMI cable.
