Introduction to screen casting software｜BJCast
BJCast, a screen mirroring protocol devised by Suzhou Bijie Networks Co., Ltd., facilitates content streaming from mobile devices or computers to larger screens like TVs via wireless connections. To mirror videos from Google Cast-compatible apps to your TV using BJCast, ensure compatibility between your mobile device and TV, and adhere to these guidelines:
Preparation:
- Compatibility Check: Verify if your TV natively supports BJCast or requires an additional device such as a BJCast-compatible dongle or multimedia collaboration system.
- App Installation: Download the BJCast app from Google Play or the Bijie Networks website onto your mobile device.
- Network Synchronization: Connect both your mobile device and TV to the same Wi-Fi network.
Casting Procedure:
- Launch the App: Open the BJCast app on your mobile device.
- Select Casting Target: Within the app, choose your TV or BJCast-enabled device as the intended casting receiver.
- Initiate Casting: Upon successful connection, select the ‘Start Casting’ option. Choose the video you wish to cast from a Google Cast-enabled app (YouTube, Netflix, etc.), and it should display on your TV.
Additional Considerations:
- Google Cast Integration: While BJCast isn’t directly linked to Google Cast, if your devices support both, you may cast Google Cast-enabled app content using BJCast as the backbone protocol. However, this relies on device compatibility and settings.
- Casting Modes: BJCast supports both mirror casting (mirroring your mobile screen onto the TV) and app-specific casting. Choose the mode that best suits your needs.
- Software Updates: Keep the BJCast app and related TV/casting device software updated for optimal compatibility and performance.
Troubleshooting Tips:
- Connection Problems: If connection issues arise, inspect your Wi-Fi connection, restart both devices, and confirm proper BJCast setup on your TV.
- App Compatibility: Ensure that the Google Cast-enabled app you’re casting from is compatible with BJCast, as some apps may restrict certain casting protocols.
By adhering to these steps, you can mirror videos from Google Cast-enabled apps to your TV using BJCast. However, be mindful that specific procedures may vary based on your device models and software versions. Always consult your device’s official documentation or support resources for the most precise information.
