As soon as he gave them the serial number, they were hands off because it was an enterprise account and it needed to go through us.ĭoes anybody have any suggestions as to whats going on here? Its like the left hand doesn't know what the right hand is doing. Heres some explanation of the technology: Downloads for Intel® Wireless Display (Intel® WiDi). He has contacted MS Support and they say that all of the Surface Book models are compatible with the WDAs and Miracast. Intel WiDi stands for 'Intel Wireless Display' and is a technology used to drive wireless communications between a PC and a display screen of some kind (sometimes a monitor with wireless capabilities, sometimes a TV set with ditto). Netgear PTV-2000 External Receiver Push2TV (Link) Intel Wireless Display may not work with M17x R3, R4 with 3D (120Hz) Built in Screens.
I have attempted to update drivers and scour Microsoft for information, less sales information. Intel WiDi Software with latest drivers (Link) 7. Miracast requires a piece of software from Intel, and some rather tight integration between the graphics implementation and the WiFi interface, which has to operate in WiFi-Direct mode. But the laptop still does not see the WDA. Answer (1 of 5): Intel has rolled WiDi into their Miracast product. I have installed the WDA app from the Windows Store and the Intel Miracast app. The problem is that, when you attempt to connect to the WDA, the Surface Book says that Miracast is not installed on the computer, suggesting that it is not a chip in the device. For this feature to work successfully, hardware compatibility with the Intel WiDi platform is needed. He wants to show that we are going to be apart of the future. The Miracast wireless display standard allows a computer running Windows 10 to mirror the current display to an external display or projector. Don't get me wrong, I see where he is going with this. However my system will not see my brand new Microsoft Wireless Display device either through the Project add or by directly going to devices and clicking Add Device. Recently, I have upgrade my laptop to windows 10. (Funny how the WDA is in Spiceworks, but not the Surface Book) He wants to be able to use it whenever he presents from his laptop, either here or at the clients HQ. Intel WiDi compatibility needed for Miracast to mirror a display within Windows 10. Now, one of the directors went out a purchased (with his own money) a Microsoft Wireless Display Adapter. So, last month, we bought 3 Microsoft Surface Books.
