CDE6530 Embedded Applications

vCast

Working with ViewBoard® Cast software (vCast, vCast Pro, and vCastSender), the vCast application will allow the ViewBoard 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.
