When the TV’s Wi-Fi Screen Share and DMR options are enabled in the IP Environment / Media Share Menu (see “Accessing the IP Environment Menu” and “Media Share Setup” on pages 53 and 59, as necessary), guests have the ability to use the following Wi-Fi Screen Share features:
•Wi-Fi Direct: Enables users to select a Wi-Fi Direct, Smart Share enabled device from which to view media files (photos, videos, music, etc.).
•Smart Mirroring / WiDi: Enables users to select a Smart Mirroring capable device or a WiDi capable device, whose screen can be displayed on the TV.
This section provides an overview of the Wi-Fi Direct and Smart Mirroring / WiDi functionality.
Accessing Wi-Fi Screen Share Features
The enabled status of the Wi-Fi Screen Share and DMR options indicated above is essential for guest access to Wi-Fi Screen Share features. Once these items are enabled, users can turn ON the Wi-Fi Direct and Smart Mirroring / WiDi features at any time from the TV menus—either the Option or the Smart- Share Menu depending on whether the TV is or is not in Pass-through Mode.
When the Pro:Centric application is disabled on the TV, Wi-Fi Direct, Smart Mirroring, and WiDi features may also be accessible from the Application Launch bar that is activated via the PORTAL button on the remote. However, this requires that the pre-loaded application icons for each of these features has been selected in the IP Environment / Pre-loaded Apps Menu. See also “Pre-loaded Applications” on page 60.
The following subsections describe how to access the Wi-Fi Direct and Smart Mirroring / WiDi features.

Note: When Smart Share is enabled in the IP Environment Menu, regardless of whether Wi-Fi Screen Share is also enabled, the TV Name will be displayed in the Option and SmartShare TV menus described below (see also examples at right). However, the TV Name is not editable outside of the IP Environment Menu.

Note: These menu options are only available if the Wi-Fi Screen Share feature has been enabled in the Media Share Menu.
