What is Multicast?

The Multicast function allows you to transmit the screen content of a device to multiple displays simultaneously using a paired transmitter.

Several participants have the possibility to transmit their screen content to several displays at the push of a button. Only one participant at a time can execute this function.

Note

Please note that the Multicast function is not supported on the QuattroPod Lite. Any QuatroPod receiver (Standard, Deluxe, or Mini) that is to be multicast must be configured accordingly.

Requirements

  • Supported receivers: QuattroPod Standard, QuattroPod Deluxe, or QuattroPod Mini.

  • You need a Wi-Fi access point.

  • Your router must accept the QuattroPod Sender / Receiver broadcast packets.

  • All QuattroPod receivers must be in the same network.

Note

For better performance of multicast, connect QuattroPod receiver to router via LAN cable.
