Intel Wireless Display for Windiws 7

In our time, modern man is difficult to surprise anything. Even yesterday, the combination of the words "refrigerator with Wi-Fi" or "Bluetooth-teapot" seemed ridiculous today - a real product. Agree, dear reader, cellular communication has already become something quite ordinary. Virtually unlimited possibilities of the World Wide Web have long ceased to frighten us with the grandeur of their manifestation. Anyway, but the new technology Wireless Display Intel is directly connected with all the things mentioned above. To understand all the benefits of its use, feel the genius of the idea and take it, so to speak, into the armament, you just need to read a few short chapters. To which we invite you!

"Wireless" introduction

Let's say you need to display an image from your laptop on the TV screen. About any cords and speeches can not be, when in the house run small children or there are very curious representatives of the animal world, like dogs or playful cat. A lively atmosphere, for example, a party, can also be the reason for organizing a "wireless show". We hope, you have caught the thought - the need for a comfortable, and at the same time the most secure and stable connection can be dictated by a mass of reasons. By the way, the advantages of using WiDi in business can be said endlessly ...

As the last argument in favor of Wireless Display Intel technology are: significant time savings and minimization of efforts to organize visualization synchronization. The illuminated method of wireless connection is designed to save the user from the problematic and often very laborious procedure for the mechanical introduction of various plugs. After all, access to the connectors is often limited, and the common cause of the missing signal is physical damage to the connecting cable. As you understand, it will take some time to find and fix this kind of malfunction. Wisdom for the sake of - get rid of "extra" wires!

WiDi: advantage

Wireless Display Intel, or shortly WiDi, is a technology that facilitates the process of transferring multimedia content from a laptop to a television receiver (Smart TV) or an external monitor. In fact, this is another way to organize a wireless connection. However, the described technology is more effective as a result of its application than the previous DLNA (Digital Living Network Alliance). Since using WiDi you can duplicate the main computer screen by projecting the operating area of the OS to the TV matrix.

It should be noted that the basis of this development was the same Wi-Fi standard, thanks to which many establishments gained special popularity by organizing free access points to the Internet. However, let's leave a jocular tone and turn to the specifics, which will help to explain to which devices Wireless Display Intel technology is applicable and how to configure the combined devices.

How do I know if my TV is compatible with WiDi?

First of all, you need to understand - this is a new technology. In order for your TV-receiver to be able to "connect" with the laptop, at least there must be an HDMI-connector. The ideal option is Smart-TV-devices, equipped with Wi-Fi-module with support for the standard Intel My Wi-Fi. The rest of the "functionally deprived" TVs can be upgraded by connecting a special adapter. The financial costs of acquiring additional equipment are incommensurable with the benefits that you will receive as a result of its use. And this is a fact!

Hardware "WiDi-competence" of the laptop

The absence of a sticker with the Intel Wireless Display logo on your laptop does not mean that this technology is not inherent in your mobile device.

Make sure that your device meets the following requirements:

• The laptop is equipped with a second-generation central processor Intel Core-i3 or higher.
• Graphics are not lower than Intel HD Graphics 2000 series.
• Wireless chipset with support for Intel My Wi-Fi technology.
• The operating system is not lower than Windows 7 (including the edition of "Home Basic").

If any of the above items do not match the required parameters, the use of WiDi functionality is simply impossible. Therefore, before proceeding to install the software directly , test the laptop for compatibility. That's easy enough to do if you use the special software CompatibilityChecker.

Irreplaceable Intel Wireless Display: all use cases, from and to

So we came to the main part of our narrative. As you already know, without the appropriate software, hardware can not work. At the same time, alongside with the official software, "miracle software" is freely distributed on the Internet, the developers of which promise an incredible increase in the performance of PC hardware components and archfunctionality, in case of installing their "revolutionary" driver. For prudence, use only original software, and you will protect your laptop from negative consequences.

Finding and installing mission-critical drivers

It does not matter when and from whom you bought the laptop. Even if you were presented to him "only yesterday", you still need to check the relevance of the installed drivers. There are two ways to do this. The first and simplest way is to run an automatic update script by running the Intel Driver Update Utility Installer. The second is more labor-intensive and is performed, so to speak, by a manual method. That is, the user independently searches, downloads and installs the most "fresh" version of the graphics and wireless driver. In the first case, even a beginner will not have a question: "Intel Wireless Display Driver - what is this?" When implementing the second scenario, the user needs to understand what exactly is going on ... However, for you, dear reader, everything will clear up in a few seconds.

Software that activates the laptop screen emulator: Intel Wireless Display Software for Windows

So, after successfully updated drivers you need to download the above software from the official "intel" site of technical support. The software found and subsequently downloaded must correspond to the operating version of the operating system.

Therefore, being directly on the download page, select the software (Intel Wireless Display) for Windows 7. Otherwise, a system conflict is inevitable during its installation. After you install WiDi-software (the most cryptic driver!), You can go to the stage of directly connecting the TV-device to the laptop.

Widescreen result is the result of tangled ideas

Now activate the wireless adapter in the optional TV menu. On the laptop screen, look for the WiDi icon and click on it. In the window that opens, click the "Search ..." button. After the laptop displays the found wireless device (TV), use the "Connect" button. Enter the code displayed on the TV screen and enjoy the result!

What should I do if the TV device does not have a Wi-Fi adapter?

You can use Intel Wireless Display technology through the router. To date, the market is quite saturated with similar devices. Netgear Push2TV adapter is not bad. Even a beginner will be able to connect such network equipment. To do this, simply connect the TV and wireless Wi-Fi-module with an HDMI cable and use the corresponding input in the TV settings. Next, it remains on the computer to start the WiDi software and activate the displayed connection.

A few words about a useful addition

Want more functionality - install the Intel WiDi Remote widget. It will greatly simplify the process of using the mentioned technology. With this software (Intel Wireless Display Application), you can easily switch applications from one monitor to another.

Well, having configured in the basic WiDi-program automatic connection, you can almost instantly launch the process of duplicating screens with just a click of a button.

The natural ending: once again about obvious uncertainty

In conclusion, I'd like to remind you that sometimes seemingly complicated programs are really an incredibly simple thing. Well, for example, do you know what Intel Wireless Display Connection Manager is? If you do not own a Dell laptop, then you hardly know what this English-language text can mean. However, for some "understanding Americans," the meaning of this proposal can also remain a mystery. However, the answer is simple: it's the same WiDi driver, though, in the original, so to speak, Dell-package.

Perhaps, one of you, dear readers, is incredibly tired of the continuous digestion of incomprehensible and little-known terms, names and abbreviations. But in fact now you know, how it is possible to organize WiDi-connection, and what programs for this are extremely necessary. However, as far as it is advisable to use this wireless technology, you still have to learn from your own experience. Well, for now, all the good and stable connection!
