What is the Miracast Video Adapter?
The Belkin Miracast Video Adapter lets you watch everything from your mobile device on your HDTV screen. You can share pictures that are saved or taken using your smartphone, play games directly on your TV from your smart device, watch videos, and browse the Internet on your TV without the need for a smart TV. This adapter includes the following features:
- Dual band technology - It enables you to have two (2) simultaneous network bandwidth features. The 2.4 and 5 GHz bands are designed to avoid interference and maximize throughput for smoother and faster HD video streaming, file transfers, and wireless gaming.
- Built-in Micro USB 2.0 Port - This port enables you to connect your Miracast Video Adapter using a USB cable to your TV and provide power supply.
- Multipurpose button - It is used to access the web-based setup page where you can change settings, restart the adapter, and pair with other smart devices. It is also known as the Wi-Fi Protected Setup™ (WPS) button.
- LED status indicator - This LED light indicates the current state of your Miracast Video Adapter.
- HDMI Connector - This should be connected into your TV's HDMI port to interact with the Miracast Video Adapter.
