HOW TO USE AIRPLAY

AirPlay is a proprietary protocol stack/suite developed by Apple Inc. that allows wireless streaming between devices of audio, video, device screens, and photos, together with related metadata. Originally implemented only in Apple’s software and devices, it was called AirTunes and used for audio only. Apple has since licensed the AirPlay protocol stack as a third-party software component technology to manufacturers that build products compatible with Apple’s devices.

Apple announced AirPlay 2 at its annual WWDC conference on June 5, 2017. It was scheduled for release along with iOS 11 in the third quarter of 2017, but was delayed until June 2018. Compared to the original version, AirPlay 2 improves buffering; adds streaming audio to stereo speakers; allows audio to be sent to multiple devices in different rooms; and control by Control Center, the Home app, or Siri, functionality that was only available previously using iTunes under macOS or Windows.

Airplay Part

Sender

AirPlay sender devices include computers running iTunes, and iOS devices such as iPhones, iPods, and iPads running iOS 4.2 or greater.

OS X Mountain Lion supports display mirroring via AirPlay on systems containing 2nd generation Intel Core processors or later.

Receiver

AirPlay receiver devices include Apple TV, HomePod, other third-party speakers and the discontinued AirPort Express, which included a combined analog and optical S/PDIF audio output connector. With the open-source implementations of the AirPlay protocol, any computer can be turned into an AirPlay receiver.

Since Airplay has no public agreement, so far, only a few companies have been able to support Airplay Receiver, and BiJie is one of them.

BiJie offers the BiJie Meeting Box and supports the Airplay receiver. For help, please refer to the following video. BJ62 Guide.

In addition, BiJie also provides Android and Windows software to support the Airplay receiver. Users can download under this link software download

Airplay Feature

Mirror

Mirror can send the screen content of the iPhone or the screen content of the Mac to the Airplay receiver via the network, and send the sound of the microphone of the iPhone or Mac to the Airplay receiver via the network.

In this way, the content displayed on the sender and receiver is consistent.

Picture

In Picture mode, the sender can transmit photos to the receiving end through the network. In this case, the receiving end only displays Picture, and the display content may be inconsistent with the sending end.

This mode is only supported by the iPhone, and after iOS9, this mode has been canceled.

Video/Music

In the video and music mode, the sender can transmit the URL of the content to the receiving end through the network.

In this case, the receiving end can play the related content through the URL.

In this mode, the sender and receiver display content is inconsistent. The sender can operate by itself without affecting the content of the receiver.

Requirements

The sender needs an iPhone or Mac.

The receiver needs an Apple TV, or uses BiJie Meeting Box, or uses BiJie receiver software to install on Android TV.

The sender and the receiver need to be on the same network segment.
