Mirroring

If AirSync Sender is not available, AirSync also supports receiving request from other casting protocols. Once accepted, the IFP mirrors the content of the device sending the request.  

• AirPlay. 
  Receive a screen from an Apple device using an AirPlay connection.
  
  
• Require passcode. 
  If AirPlay is enabled, users must input a passcode each time a connection is made.
  
  
• Google Cast. 
  Receive a screen using a connection from a Chromium-based browser, an Android smartphone, or any device that supports Google Cast.
  
  
• Miracast. 
  Receive a screen using a Miracast connection. Miracast can be found on selected smartphones, laptops, or PCs with supported hardware. 
  
  
• Auto Accept. 
  Accept all request without any additional prompts. The IFP immediately mirrors any content sent to it. If disabled, users must confirm the request before the mirroring starts.
  
  

Connectivity

Specify a connection source that AirSync will monitor for share and receive requests.

• Both internet & local connection. 
  Accept share and receive requests that originate from both internet and local connections.
  
  
• Local connection. 
  Accept share and receive requests that originate from local connections only. Local connections operate within a private network, offering more security and stability.
