Connecting with other media devices
Playing multimedia files between different media devices
(through DLNA)
Your smart display allows interoperability with other media devices that support Digital Living
Network Alliance (DLNA) within the same home network (wired or wireless). With the
DLNA compatibility standards, your smart display is able to receive and play video/audio/image
files from other media devices, or vice versa, without any cable connection.
This feature is particularly helpful when
• your media source and the media player (i.e. your smart display) are not on the same device,
or
• the media files are stored on a device with smaller screen and the playback on a larger screen
is desired.
• If Wi-Fi (instead of Ethernet) network is used to connect your DLNA products, make sure the Wi-Fi
connection is stable enough to ensure smooth data transmission and playback.
• While the playback control is performed remotely from a different device, pay attention to the control range.
Wi-Fi connectivity has limited range, depending upon the equipment being used, the chosen frequently band,
radiowave interference, and the physical landscape (including building structure). Circumstances will vary
depending upon your particular situation.
Transferring media files to smart display for playback
Your smart display is a DLNA-compatible player for playback of media files from other
DLNA-compatible media devices within the same home network. You can control the playback
from one of the media devices while all applications on the smart display are still available to
you.

that can be accessed from your media device. Different applications may be available
depending on the operating system of your media device.
5. Launch the DLNA application on your media device. The on-screen display and the
interface may vary by application.
6. Choose a media source (i.e. where the media files are stored).
7. Choose your smart display as the player.
8. Select one of the media files (with supported file format) stored on your media device to
be played on the smart display.
Your media device is now a media source as well as a remote control for the playback on
the smart display. You can now control the playback from either your media device or
smart display.
To adjust volume from your media device, follow the original volume adjustment procedure on the media device.
Transferring media files from smart display for playback
Your smart display allows you to transfer the media files stored on any memory that can be
accessed from the smart display (e.g. the internal memory, the connected microSD card, or the
connected mass storage devices) to other DLNA-compatible devices for playback. The
operation is possible through the built-in applications: Music Share and Video Share.

Working as a storage device
You can connect your smart display to your computer using a USB to micro-USB cable. Your
smart display is then treated as storage device and displayed as smart display in the Windows
Explorer or file manager. While the smart display is connected to the computer, you can:
• operate from your computer to copy and paste files from your smart display to the computer,
or vice versa;
• operate from your smart display to access the functions that are available in the Android
system.
If there are other storage devices (e.g., a microSD card, USB flash drives, or external hard
drives, etc.) connected to your smart display at the same time, your smart display works as a
USB hub.
1. Locate and double-click your smart display (displayed as smart display) from your computer.
2. All the storage devices connected to your smart display are listed under smart display in
the Windows Explorer or file manager on your computer.
