Troubleshooting
Saville Airshare is easy to operate, however if you are receiving error messages or connection problems
please see below:
A) The quality of the image is not sharp.
If connected wirelessly, check that the signal strength is Excellent or Good. This is verified by moving the
cursor over the Wireless Network Connection icon in the lower right-hand corner of the system tray. You
may be too far from the Wireless Receiver or there may be a object or wall obstructing the radio waves.
Click on Menu button on WID utility and select Better Quality instead of Normal.
B) The displayed image appears to be cropped.
If the displayed image appears to be cropped, change the resolution of the transmitting PC in order to
avoid this. The display resolution can be changed/verified by right-clicking on the desktop and selecting
properties. From the Settings tab the resolution can be changed/ verified.
C) The image or video displayed is slow.
The quality of transmission depends largely upon the transmitting PCs CPU performance. Avoid running
multiple applications simultaneously while streaming to maximize the CPUs performance.
If streaming wirelessly, check that the signal strength is Excellent or Good – see A) above.
Saville Airshare plays full motion video from a web browser, YouTube or Windows Media Player or QuickTime
in Speedy mode, so make sure to activate this by clicking on the Video option menu button in the User interface.
