VCast Pro Casting to vCast Pro from a Client Device

Casting to vCast Pro from a Client Device

Working with ViewBoard® Cast software (vCast, vCast Pro, and vCastSender), the vCast Pro application will allow the ViewBoard or display to receive laptop screens (Windows/Mac/Chrome) and mobile (iOS/Android) users’ screens, photos, videos, annotations, and camera(s) that are using the vCastSender application.

NOTE:

• ViewBoard® Cast software, laptops, and mobile devices can connect to both the same subnet and cross subnet by entering the on-screen PIN code.
• Connected devices will show up under Device List on the same subnet connection.
• If the device does not show up under Device List, users will need to key-in the on-screen PIN code.
• vCast Pro can setup “PIN disable” for a faster connection on the same subnet. Please note that the Remote Viewing function will be enabled if PIN code input is disabled.
