![]() ![]() I am really getting frustrated here as I get so close (it tries to pair and then fails). It's supposed be at least 1.3 for it to work and NVIDIA's Maxwell GPU is supposed to be Miracast compliant - as are all 900 series GPUs - but Noooo! DxDiag states under GPU section that Miracast is not supported by latest driver - but I have the latest drivers?!? I have deleted and reinstalled both Wireless NIC and GPU drivers and still no good. I've completely opened up the firewall when trying to pair, but no good.ĭxDiag tells me that Miracast is available over HDCP. I want to run it over 5G but have seen somewhere that it needs to be on 2.4G for initial pairing - which is the case. ![]() Distance from PC to router is 1.5 meters. Try adding again." I've been at this for quite awhile now - and I am now not sure of what I can do (is there anyways to increase the wait time for devices that are being paired - maybe somewhere in the registry?).īy way of background, PC is connecting wirelessly to network via DLink DWA 192 AC1900 USB 3 attached NIC. The only hint I get from the PC is that after the failed pairing message comes up, the PC says "Your television quit waiting. Following this, I receive the message "Pairing with DESKTOP failed - try again". My surface pro 3 and Samsung Note 3 Miracast to my TV via MWDA2 OK, but when I try from my home built PC, all I get to see on the TV is "Connecting to DESKTOP" (DESKTOP is name of my PC) for about 15 seconds. Having a problem connecting home built PC to TV via Microsoft Wireless Display Adapter 2 (MWDA2). The BenQ Wireless QCast Dongle is at least twice the price so save money and use the MS DA 2! The MS Display Adaptor 2 has had another firmware update recently, so I guess MS are trying to make it better, I can't recall the latest version number on mine though. One minor point is the lack of USB 5V connection on the W1300, it does have a mini USB so I used a USB power pack to power the MS DA 2. I am writing this additional post as I understand that HDCP errors were common with the older BENQ projectors like the W100, so someone might need to know that mine certainly works well without any issues. I have just bought one of the newer full 1080p widescreen projectors from BENQ, the W1300 and hey-presto, the MS Display Adaptor 2 works very well without the need for the HDMI splitter. The old Panasonic VX415N projectors that I tried to use with the MS Display Adaptor 2 definitely need the HDMI splitter, otherwise no go. Just in case anyone looks back on this thread, I have a further update regarding MS Display Adaptor 2 and projectors. Hope this helps someone out there and saves a bit of time. The phone is a OnePlus 3 so it does have some decent processing power. ![]() Lower quality video looks acceptable but playback through VLC on my phone needed a 300mSec advance on the audio to remain exactly in synch with the video (pause and use the utility under an icon the looks like notepaper to adjust). Video recorded by the phone in 1920 x 1080 looks smashing on a big LCD projector. I am using an Android phone for casting this way, it produces great video content as long as the original is high quality. The adaptor and the MS device will also pass the audio content streamed to it as well as the video. The splitter is designed to send the output to two HDMI compatible displays, but just using one is enough as the MS Display Adaptor suddenly feels it is able to work.Ĭonnect all cables, power up the splitter/adaptor, power up the MS Display Adaptor and all should be OK. I found one of these cheap on a famous auction web site, look for something like "4K 1x2 HDMI 1.4 Splitter Selector Adapter HDCP" these are around £12 to £15 (or $20). To do this, you need to pass the HDMI output of the MS Display Adaptor through an HDMI splitter/adaptor, on its way to the projector (or TV). High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP) is a form of digital copy protection to stop naughty boys copying video easily. ![]() It turns out the these HDMI MiraCast casting devices will not work with older equipment (like my three year old Panasonic projectors) unless you 'fool' it to thinking it is able to negotiate HDCP. Yes, the upgrade of the software is possible using the PC utility (which only works under Windows 10 I recall). If you aren’t sure if your display supports HDCP, check the info that came with your device or go to the manufacturer’s website. The clue is in the MS online help for the device: Make sure your HDTV, monitor, or projector supports HDCP. Rather than ask a question, I thought I would post the solution here which might help others although it may not help the OP. I have the latest V2 MS Display Adaptor bought recently and mine would not connect to my LCD Projectors, but 4K LCD TV's and HDMI monitors were OK. ![]()
