is off, the next approved channel takes over in full screen mode.

With an iOS/macOS device, you can also transmit your screen content directly via Apple AirPlay. This means you do not need a QuattroPod transmitter in this case. This function is enabled out-the-box
. However, if you reset the receiver, the function is deactivated.
Admin password¶
Change the Admin Password of the recipient.
Screensaver¶
Turn off the receiver`s screen or HDMI output after a certain period of inactivity. By default, this function is disabled.

You can wake up the receiver or restore HDMI output by retransmitting content from the transmitter.
