Posted .Plug the HDMI connector into an available HDMI port on the TV/display. Plug the USB connector into an available USB Type-A port on your TV or a USB power adapter. Turn on your TV to power up the ScreenCast. Select your TV's input/source until you see the setup screen. *If your TV screen remains black, your TV may not be supplying enough power. In this case, please plug the USB cord into a USB power adapter and connect it to an outlet. ** Feel free to contact j5create Technical Support if you require further assistance.

Did not work for me
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Did not work for what i needed it to do and i had to do a reset on tv after trying it.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendBrand response from J5create Team
Posted .If you encountered problems with the adapter, here are some steps you can consider:
If the adapter is not functioning correctly, you can try resetting it to its default settings. There should be a reset button.
Ensure that your TV is compatible with screen mirroring or casting from the specific source device you are using (e.g., smartphone, tablet, laptop). Some TVs may have limitations on supported casting technologies (e.g., Miracast, Chromecast).
Confirm that the source device you are using (e.g., smartphone, tablet, laptop) supports the casting or screen mirroring technology used by the adapter (e.g., Miracast, AirPlay, Chromecast). Different devices may use different casting standards.
Make sure that both your source device and the ScreenCast Adapter are connected to the same Wi-Fi network, as many casting technologies rely on a shared network connection.
Check for firmware or software updates for both the ScreenCast Adapter and your source device. Updates can sometimes resolve compatibility issues and improve performance.

Waste of money.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This item didn’t work correctly. The website required to pair this item to our WiFi wouldn’t work. Tried to pair for several days. By the time we got fed up, it was too late to return and customer support was no help.

Posted .Hello and thank you for reviewing the JVAW56. In order for the Screencast to work properly, it does require a Wi-Fi connection in order to project on a TV. Due to the circumstances, we recommend reaching out to the support team printed on the casing to speak with an agent and they will have you up and running in no time. We apologize for the inconvenience you experienced and hope it is not too late to lend a helping hand.

Reliable Presentation Option On The Go
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I am an educator and travel from building to building providing training to staff along the way. Finally I have a way to quickly plug into a projector and still use my own device. And the beauty of this system is I am not tied to a corner of the room where all the cables usually come out of the wall. It is wireless so I can be anywhere within range and still project (cast) to the projector. This device will allow you to connect any device and stream content. You get 2 options for connecting. The system itself has it's own signal and you can connect to it.. This I found to be my preferred method when I am traveling to different locations. However when I am in one location for a longer period of time, or at home for instance, you can connect this to your local wifi network and then you can cast to this from other devices on your home network. This device will support a lot of cats options such as Airplay, Chromecast, and Miracast for example. This allows you to connect Windows, Mac, iOs and Android devices. You plug the HDMI end into an open HDMI port on your TV and the USB end into an open USB port on your TV (this provides the power) or to a USB port/plug in the wall.

screencast from ANYTHING
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Love this. You can screencast from anything. Windows PC. Yes. iPhone. Yes. Chromebook. Yes. Setup is straight forward. It's important to note that there are 2 ways to connect. 1. You can connect to the WiFi of the device directly or 2. You can connect this to your WiFi network so it's on your LAN. The latter is more useful if you are using it permanently in one location (home, office) but if you're using it as a portable extender, then go with Option 1 (Option 1 is also good if you're using this in hotels). In my tests, it's only really truly a 5G connection if you connect it to your own WiFi connection. Other things to note. There's a very minor lag on first connection as everything stabilizes (2-3 seconds) and it's much better for work, presentation purposes. It's not perfect for streaming video (watching Netflix) unless you connect iit to your WiFi connection. Personally, I think this is better than a Chromecast as it's detected natively by your operating system (even Apple) and there's no need for any apps - all of the admin functions are done through a Web Interface. Overall, it's a good and useful to have.

One HDMI Streamer Receiver to Bind them All
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This device works by plugging into an HDMI port on a display and powering off a USB port. Then you set it up with another device by connecting wifi to its setup wifi name and set it up with your houses wifi to check for firmware and update. After that follow the instructions on your TV screen to cast just about anything to it. YES, you can Airplay from Mac or iOS devices. You can cast from Android, you can send from PC. It does it all. I experienced some jitter in the video feed. The most was from a windows 10 pc, the least was from an Android smartphone, with Mac and iPad somewhere in between. Very useful for getting everyone's stuff up on the big screen to show off, no matter there device.
