WIDI technology: video streams by air. Wireless Display: Connect the laptop to the TV is not installed intel WIDI

However, we felt that among all this information lacks the owned and exhaustive testing of WIDI for the study of its characteristics, advantages and disadvantages. Therefore, as soon as the WIDI adapter Netgear Push2TV HD got into our och. I understood: the moment has come. During the week I experienced technology and iron in your homemade home laboratory, combining pleasant with useful. On the results obtained, found nuances and bugofits and allow it here to report.

Selection of compatible gland

WIDI technology belongs to the category of hardware dependent, it requires a number of requirements for its operation. Briefly these requirements can be formulated as follows:
  • Intel Core I3 / I5 / I7 processor of the second or third generation (not any, see below);
  • Graphic subsystem Intel HD Graphics, as we know, built into the above processors;
  • Wi-Fi Intel Centrino adapter with 802.11n support.
A complete list of compatible equipment can be viewed on the Intel website.
The list of compatible equipment is constantly expanding, we recommend that you carefully examine it if you want to deal with WIDI. Your humble servant personally stood up on these rakes, choosing a ultrabook for tests - it turned out to be impressive and well, but he had an incompatible Wi-Fi adapter. Everything turned out only with the second attempt, then I mean the second ultrabook. Its characteristics, in principle, do not matter, I will only say that a platform has been used Intel third generation; Installed OS - Windows 8.
By the way, I want to note in passing that for the first time in Intel immediately after launching the installer honestly warned that on this ultrabook WIDI will not work and further put it refused than saved my time and nerves. The same approach is also implemented in other hardware dependent technologies, such as Smart Response.

Netgear Push2TV HD Prefix

So, with ultrabooks figured out, consider the back side of the WIDI now, that is, the receiver. There are a number of monitors and TVs with built-in WIDI, in particular, Samsung combo device line, a number of TVs and Toshiba and, moreover, some media players and gaming consoles. However, most TVs have no WIDI, nor Wi-Fi, and it is necessary to purchase a prefix for them. Consoles also released several types: from D-Link, Belkin and other manufacturers. In our testing, the Netgear Push2TV HD adapter was used; There is a feeling that all of the following will apply to other accrehensions.

Installation and Setup

Start acquaintance with technology makes sense from the WIDI home page on the Intel website - its reading, no doubt, will be useful for further research. Unfortunately, the most helpful information, namely, where to take on WIDI, there is no, but I will tell you. The second step is to go to the Intel download section, where you can simply update the drivers responsible for the work of Widi - believe the word, it will not be superfluous. We will find directly on WIDI. To facilitate the use of WIDI there is a special widget, although you can do without it.


Update software on the WIDI adapter

Installation via WIDI happens quickly and uninteresting - literally, the screenshot is not with what to remove. But the first launch did not cost me without light ships, although to Vargan, at one time I was given intel, it did not reach me again. So, the prefix is \u200b\u200benabled and connected to the TV via HDMI port (except for it, it has another component). We run on the ultrabook the scanning of the adapters and almost immediately find our. Click "Connect" and ... do not connect. The process broke out several times at various stages with different errors, until finally, it was not possible to somehow connect two adapters. Immediately after that, it began to update on the console. The prefix itself does not have access to the Internet, so the idea is updated through the ultrabook seems common. I note that the ultrabook at that time was not connected to the Internet, it means that the update is contained in the WIDI software. After updating, the prefix rebooted, and more problems With mating did not arise.


Password in writing

The just included is the connection is in the connection state - the expectation screen is shown in the first picture. In the process of installing a connection after successful initialization on TV, a random password is displayed, which must be entered on the ultrabook. Following this, a desktop image appears on the TV. Wireless Display is a full-fledged second display, which, like a wired second, can operate in two modes: cloning and expansion. Intel recommends using the second option. The TV resolution is automatically exposed to 1080r in both modes.

Testing functionality

After easy adventures with the setting, I started directly testing. As a media content, several films were selected, both in HD and in a lower resolution. The feeling from viewing can be expressed like this. Video non-HD permission is simply "with a bang," just a couple of times, traces of some digital interference were seen. When watching high-resolution video, it is sometimes visible barely noticeable twitching of the picture, most often - with a smooth turn of the camera. So much effect I had to see when the TV is connected to DLNA Server via wi-fi; I myself preferred to use the wire in Starikovski.


TV requests a DLNA connection

By the way, about DLNA. Ultrabook software can work in the mode that I would call "WIDI without WIDI" when the TV is not required WIDI prefix; He gets a picture with a ultrabook via DLNA. In the documentation, the developers honestly warn that this mode does not work with all DLNA customers, but mine television samsung. 5300 connected without problems. However, the benefits of such "emulation" are not very much: the picture quality is much worse, the HD permission is not supported and everything is completely inhibited. In addition, due to the habit of DLNA, the contents connected in this way can not be used as a monitor, since the mouse refuses to crawl in real time.


Confix connection is established. Left - Widi widget

Wi-di widget performs two functions. First, it allows one click to connect the Wireless Display, the connection to which was already configured and in whose properties it is indicated automatically. Secondly, in the extended monitor mode, the widget allows you to switch the application from one monitor to another. The thing, in principle, is good, if not impact to me restrictions in functionality. For example, some applications it is capable of moving between the screens, and some are not; What principle is the choice, I could not install. Looking a little, I switched to " manual control»Windows and quickly accustomed to it.
From the intensive use of Wi-Fi when watching movies on the ultrabook, the battery is quickly discharged: if in the usual office mode it works 5-6 hours, then the charge is barely enough for the film. This, of course, is difficult to call a disadvantage. In general, the technologies that ended in the eyes of the technology was detected. The connection (on a small, of course, distance) was maintained steadily, the software failures were also noticed. In my opinion, WIDI is quite suitable as an alternative to DLNA, having before the last even an advantage in the form of versatility: WIDI is completely indifferent to deliver to a remote display, in addition, the need for transcoding disappears. There is every reason to assume that in the near future Wi-Fi is justified in all TV receivers without exception, and not just in top models, as now. Then the WIDI can open a second breathing, especially if the family of devices can be enhanced in a fundamental manner capable of sending a picture on Wireless Display.

However, we felt that among all this information lacks the owned and exhaustive testing of WIDI for the study of its characteristics, advantages and disadvantages.

Intel Widi is a driver responsible for the work of the model of the same name. It, in turn, serves to broadcast content from a computer memory or laptop to a TV or monitor that supports Intel Wireless Display. Also, the application allows you to display the "picture" on the screen of some portable Android devices. We draw your attention to the fact that fresh versions operating system from Microsfoft - Windows 7, Windows 8 and 10 This technology was ousted by another software solution -, which is installed in the default system.

Purpose

Intel Widi helps to do without using external drives To organize the playback of a film or presentation on the TV and the projector. Also, this technology eliminates you from using VGA and HDMI cables because the image broadcast occurs by point access Wi-Fi. In general, downloading and installing this driver You strongly simplify the data transfer to the remote device.

By concept work Wireless Display a little reminds dLNA technology. Key difference The second is that the DLNA server deployment on the computer allows you to broadcast only separate filesWhile Intel Widi makes it possible to turn a remote output device into the "second monitor". Simply put, use this technology It is much more expedient for presentations.

Requirements

The basic condition for the correct operation of Wireless Display is the presence in the output device of the built-in or connected WIDI adapter. In addition, both devices must be connected to a single point of wireless access. Well, the last fact that must be taken into account is that the technology works far from any CPU. Moreover, compatibility issues arise with new processor models.

Key features

  • broadcast images from a PC / laptop on a compatible projector, TV or Android device;
  • works through a single Wi-Fi access point;
  • fast installation and setup;
  • high quality translated image;
  • compatibility issues with new CPU models.

But the phone is not the only device capable of broadcast the image on the screen of the telephone. There are others - for example, laptops. And they have no less opportunity in this regard. So, let's talk today how to connect a laptop to TV through Wi-Fi and wired interfaces.

Wireless Methods

Wi-Fi Miracast, Widi and AMD Wireless Display

About what is Wi-Fi Miracast and Widi (Intel Wireless Display), you probably remember from the previous article. We are in a hurry to delight you: these technologies support not only smartphones, but also mobile computers. However, not all, but only those that are equipped with the Intel Core i3 / I5 / I7 processors of the second and subsequent generations.

Widi and Miracast support in different versions Windows is implemented unequal. Namely:

  • Intel Core i3 / i5 / i7 processors of the second generation can use WIDI version 4 functions only in Windows 7 and 8.1. In Windows 10, WIDI and Miracast support is missing.
  • The third-generation processors support WIDI 4 only in Windows 7, the "eight" and "ten" support Miracast.
  • Fourth-generation processors switched to support for WIDI version 6 (modern). In Windows 7 and 8.1 - without restrictions. In Windows 10 - only in the presence of Wi-Fi adapter, released later than 2013. Computers with older wireless adapters and Windows 10 can only use Miracst.
  • The processors of the fifth-sixth generation support WIDI 6 without restrictions.

Laptops based on aMD processors Also able to transmit an image on TB on Wi-Fi channel. The technology on which they work is called AMD Wireless Display. This, if you can put it, an analogue of WIDI, developed by AMD for wireless connection Your devices and Miracast-compatible TVs.

AMD Wireless Display is officially supported by Windows 8, 8.1 and 10. To check whether the processor is compatible with this technology, the manufacturer recommends the AMD Catalyst Auto Detect branded utility.

Connecting to tv

To transfer the image from a laptop to the TB screen using any of the above-mentioned standards, the access point is not needed. It is only necessary that the laptop is also supported by Miracst (as you already know, in the absence of such an option on TV, an external adapter can be filled with it).

So, before installing the connection, you will make sure that Wi-Fi is turned on on both devices. After you activate the Miracast function on the TV. In which menu it is, it must be specified in the instructions. Next, go to the laptop.

If you have Windows 10, press the keyboard with a combination of Win + P to open the "Project" menu. If you want the desktop to be displayed on both the computer and on TV, select "Repeating"; To display pictures on TV, select "Only the second screen".

If you have Windows 8.1, open the miracle buttons panel, go to "Device" section - "Projector" and select the "Wireless Display" option. After that, the TV will work as a monitor.

Intel has previously offered to users to connect via WIDI previous tools - the Intel Wireless Display utility, but now it is not available.

AMD Wireless Display has always used only the above windows interface.

DLNa.

DLNA - another technology that allows devices home network exchange multimedia content without complex settings and wires. However, not only without wires - one or both of the conjugable devices can be connected to the network through the cable. Unlike Miracsta, DLNA does not allow them to bind them directly.

A TV connected to a laptop via DLNA will not replace the monitor - it will play only those multimedia files that the user selects, and the desktop, shortcuts, and everything else will remain on the laptop display.

To connect a mobile computer to TV through DLNA, you need to observe three conditions:

  • Entry of both devices in one local network. Internet connection is not required.
  • Support technology TV.
  • Modern operating system (Windows 7-10) installed on a laptop, or separate software for creating a DLNA server. Windows users XP and Vista will suit, for example, Windows Media Player. 11-12 versions.

Multimedia transmission procedure on TV tools

Making sure that the computer and TV are connected to the same network, open the folder where the multimedia file is stored, right-click on it and select the "Go to the device" option. In the device list, specify the TV.

Most often this is enough to play. In case of problems, do the following:

Creating a DLNA server

If you want the entire media content that is stored in the music libraries, "images", "video", etc., reproduced on TV, take a few minutes to create and configure the DLNa server.

For this:

  • In "Advanced Sharing Options", open the "All Network" section and click "Select Multimedia Streaming Parameters".

  • Next, click "Enable streaming".

  • In the settings section, specify the name of the library in which the multimedia is stored (by default, the root folder of the user is prescribed), and in front of the reproducing device (TV), put the measurement "allowed".

  • If you want, you can specify the type of content that will be played on TV. To do this, click on the "Set up" button and change the desired parameters.

This creation and configuration of the DLNA server are completed. Now the laptop folders containing multimedia files will be displayed on TV.

By the way, branded connection technologies mobile devices and computers to the TV, which we wrote about in the previous article are also mainly based on DLNA standards. LG is "Smart Share", Sony, in particular, Sony Bravia.- "VAIO MEDIA Server", Samsung - "Allshare", at the telepserts of Apple TV - AIRPLAY. Their advantages over the usual DLNA are a wider range of features.

To connect a laptop, for example, to a LG TV, it is enough to install a free LG Smart Share company app. If you have a TV other brand, you can easily find a similar software on the official website of the manufacturer. Installing and configuring such programs is very simple, system requirements Low.

Cable connection

HDMI

HDMI digital interface that supports fullHD quality image transmission and multichannel sound, is perhaps the best way to cable laptop to TV, the most benefited by the same interface mobile computers. Modern TVs also have an HDMI port. To combine devices, sufficient cable of the corresponding type: HDMI-HDMI or Micro- (mini-) HDMI-HDMI (if one of the slots is small).

Connecting a cable to ports is permissible only after turning off the power of devices (otherwise they can be output). Switching between displays (laptop and Tb) is made by pressing the Fn + F key combination, where F * - function keyon which the pictogram is applied in the form of two screens, for example, as in the photo below.

Picture Display Settings on an additional display is a view, resolution, etc., configured via the control panel, the "Screen" applet and section "Setting screen parameters".

Audio is configured through the "sound" applet. TV speakers will be displayed in the list of "Playback" devices. To make them host, open the context menu and check "Use Default".

VGA.

Analog interface VGA is also very often found on laptops and TV. A TV connected to a VGA cable laptop can only play the image, and the sound will go from the laptop columns.

DisplayPort.

DisplayPort connectors are found on laptops less often than two. This is also a digital interface, like HDMI, capable of transmitting and image, and sound.

DVI, S-VIDEO

The ports of these types today can only be found on old laptops, and use them mostly for connecting to no less old TVs.

Thunderbolt.

Thunderbolt - relatively new interfacedesigned to transfer any type of data at a very high speed. Meets most often on macbuky and can be used to connect them to external monitor or TV.

Since there are no TVs with ThunderBolt (and if there is, they are unknown to the author) to connect the MacBook you will need additional equipment - the Thunderbolt to HDMI adapter and the HDMI-HDMI cable.

Connection of interfaces of different types by adapters

Remember: the fewer transformations and breaks in the transmission medium, the higher the image quality and sound on the reproducing device. Direct cable connection - From the port of the laptop to the TV port, always gives the best result than using adapters.

If your laptop is equipped only with a VGA port, and TV - VGA and HDMI, it is preferable to use the VGA-VGA direct cable than the HDMI to VGA adapter and the HDMI-HDMI cable. Adapter does not improve analog signal to the level of digital, but simply converts it to another format often with loss of quality.

Laptop - TV show - TV

Happy owners of Smart TV can attach their laptops to them in many ways. If one is not suitable, there is always an alternative. And the owners of ordinary, especially old television receptionists sometimes have to suffer: that is not available the desired adapterThe connection does not work.

In this case optimal decision There will be a purchase television console from smart features, like Apple TV or Android Box. This is not very expensive, besides, it is forever eliminated problems with connecting other equipment to the TV.

In our era of development information industry It is enough difficult to impress the person. It would seem that quite recently we could not imagine that in the usual everyday life will be " wall Clock With Wi-Fi "or" Multicookers with the ability to set the cooking program through a smartphone. " However, on this page you have access to free download Intel Widi Russian version for Windows 7, 8, 10 - a program that is directly related to all this!

Telephone conversations and diverse Internet depth of steel for us are completely ordinary. Technology penetrate our life is deeper. All that used to seem impossible to us is now considered a tribality. Anyway, newest technology Wireless Display Intel has a direct connection with the above.

For simplicity of understanding the possibilities and benefits of the newest filigree, as well as using it in the future, you need to read a certain number of small chapters that contain the main principles of construction. wireless system Computer connection and TV, after which you can download the software.

Organization of a wireless system

Suppose you want to pass a photo from a laptop to your TV screen. In this case, the use of any cables can be forgotten. Dynamic setting is reigning at home: small kids run in the apartment or your curious cat shows interest in everything that excites his instinct. But what about the possibility of holding a holiday? Parties can serve as a reason for creating " wireless connection».

We believe that you understand the meaning. Most this technology may seem dear and unnecessary. But everyone dreamed of getting rid of wires. The reasons for the safer and comfortable use of the "wireless" system may exist an unlimited amount, and they are all based on objective household factors. The advantages of using Wireless Display in the field of business are huge. Imagine an office where there are no bonding wires and plugs, there is no need to carry a bunch of equipment for the presentation.

The latest argument of perfection and utility software WIDI is a significant reduction in time costs while reducing efforts to create a visual computer synchronization system with a TV. Via wireless technology You get the opportunity to facilitate the user to install and configure the system, eliminating it from the activities of connecting various cords and plugs by spending a large amount of time.

Very often, there is no possibility to check the health of the connectors used: the basis of the unstable operation of the system may be an external violation of the integrity of the cross section of the wire. Repair and replacement of the damaged part, search for damaged space require time costs. It's time to get rid of anyone who does not need the binding elements!

The advantages of the Wireless Display Intel system

WIDI technology with which you can simplify the procedure for sending media files from a computer to the TV screen, or on TV modulator (for example, Smart TV) is another example of creating a connection between two devices without using wires and cables. Moreover, the WIDI system is most effective than its predecessor DLNA, namely, in the displacement of a laptop associated with a TV, along a variety of room trajectory, at the time of transfer of a video, no distortion of frames does not occur. The video is transmitted, keeping excellent quality. Concrete walls and overlaps are not a hindrance for data transmission.

We note that the basis for creating technology was the Wi-Fi standard, due to the use of which most of the institutions have deserved fame, allowing visitors to use open access Online network by creating a Wi-Fi entry point.

What devices can I use WIDI technology?

In order for your TV to be synchronized with the computer, it must be equipped with an HDMI connector. SMART-TV modulators will be excellent example: there are Wi-Fi modules that support the Intel My Wi-Fi sample. Other multifunctional TV really very easy to improve through the connection of the modular adapter. Cost when buying an additional module and HDMI cable It is incomparable with the benefits received when used. And we guarantee you!

So, the lack of tag with the name of WIDI on the external package of your computer does not mean the impossibility of using the above-described technology. Make sure your laptop corresponds to the following requirements:

  • There is a hardware equipment intel processor Core i3 from the dual-core family (or better).
  • Graphic adapter not lower Intel HD Graphics 2000.
  • Chip supporting intel system My Wi-Fi.
  • Windows 7 and above.

If at least one of the above requirements is not fulfilled, the use of WIDI technology will be difficult. Before installing software, check the system for compliance with all requirements. We advise you to use the CompatibilityCHECKER program, which will help to make testing rapid and simple.

Necessary software for WIDI

The moment came to tell about the main aspects of Wireless Display Intel technology. As you already know, without software that meets the identified requirements, technology is inoperable. Therefore, when a "magic" software is found on the Internet, the developers of which are discussed about the growth of performance and functionality after installing a "miraculous" driver, do not believe them! Use only the official software, thereby secure your computer from the actions of attackers and malicious programs.

SELECTION AND INSTALLATION OF DRIVERS

It does not matter when you and who have purchased a computer. It is necessary to test the performance and relevance of the available drivers. You can find out the necessary information using two ways. The first way is to use the service program Intel Driver Update Utility Installer, it is in automatic mode Let's give you necessary information And, if necessary, updates the outdated driver.

The second path is the manual method, you will have to search for yourself, download and install new drivers. In the first version, you will not have questions on WIDI technology, but when using the second approach, the process understanding should be. For you, a durable reader, everything will be clear soon.

After the update process, you need to download the following software below. Next, after downloading it, be sure to check the correspondence of the version of the operating system with a laptop. The following is the process of connecting the TV to a computer.

Search and activate the device

Select the activation feature of the wireless adapter in the TV options menu. Find the WIDI label on the computer monitor screen and click on it. Next should open the window: in it you must select the Search procedure. After the search completes its work, found devices will appear on the laptop screen: in our case, the TV. Click the "Connect" button. Dial the code that appears on the display and get the ability to transmit media files!

If the television device does not have a Wi-Fi adapter?

It is necessary to use WIDI technology using Wi-Fi Router. Today, by virtue of development trading network It's not difficult to find and buy this device. Well recommended a Netgear Push2TV router. You do not need to have knowledge of a specialist for connecting a router to the system: even a beginner user will perfectly cope with this. The instruction is simple - you must connect the TV and the router using an HDMI cable and select it in the TV options menu. Intel Wireless Display on Laptop software, after which you activate the synchronization process.

Useful information about an effective addition

If you have a desire to expand the application functionality, then you need to install a small WIDI Remote software module. He is able to seriously relieve work with WIDI technologies. When using this software, a very useful possibility of switching software from one monitor screen to another appears. Added automatic connection In the root options of the application, you can start duplicating monitors in one moment.

In conclusion

Whatever the program is not difficult in appearance, in the case, it is simple. Everything works quite understandable. But you only need to pay a little attention and patience in order to figure out how it really works. Do you know what Intel Wireless Display Connection Manager? In case you do not have a DELL computer, it is unlikely that you know this. And the answer to this question will be: the same WIDI driver! Yes, this is the same, the same above driver. The point is all that is an identical software that is in the original packaging.

Thanks to your patience, you have figured out the basic principles of the wireless connection and themselves are ready to create a WIDI connection. All list required software And you can find the instructions for use in this article. And how profitable to use this technology will understand in the process of its operation!

Thus, download Intel WIDI for Windows 10, 8, 7 is available to reference below. And be sure to tell your friends, as well as familiar about Wireless technology Intel Wireless Display. We will be happy if the article turned out to be useful for you. Leave your questions in the comments! Thanks for attention!
