Just in case anyone looks back on this thread, I have a further update regarding MS Display Adaptor 2 and projectors. Hope this helps someone out there and saves a bit of time. The phone is a OnePlus 3 so it does have some decent processing power. Lower quality video looks acceptable but playback through VLC on my phone needed a 300mSec advance on the audio to remain exactly in synch with the video (pause and use the utility under an icon the looks like notepaper to adjust). Video recorded by the phone in 1920 x 1080 looks smashing on a big LCD projector. I am using an Android phone for casting this way, it produces great video content as long as the original is high quality. The adaptor and the MS device will also pass the audio content streamed to it as well as the video. The splitter is designed to send the output to two HDMI compatible displays, but just using one is enough as the MS Display Adaptor suddenly feels it is able to work.Ĭonnect all cables, power up the splitter/adaptor, power up the MS Display Adaptor and all should be OK. I found one of these cheap on a famous auction web site, look for something like "4K 1x2 HDMI 1.4 Splitter Selector Adapter HDCP" these are around £12 to £15 (or $20). To do this, you need to pass the HDMI output of the MS Display Adaptor through an HDMI splitter/adaptor, on its way to the projector (or TV). High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP) is a form of digital copy protection to stop naughty boys copying video easily. It turns out the these HDMI MiraCast casting devices will not work with older equipment (like my three year old Panasonic projectors) unless you 'fool' it to thinking it is able to negotiate HDCP. Yes, the upgrade of the software is possible using the PC utility (which only works under Windows 10 I recall). If you aren’t sure if your display supports HDCP, check the info that came with your device or go to the manufacturer’s website. The clue is in the MS online help for the device: Make sure your HDTV, monitor, or projector supports HDCP. Rather than ask a question, I thought I would post the solution here which might help others although it may not help the OP. I have the latest V2 MS Display Adaptor bought recently and mine would not connect to my LCD Projectors, but 4K LCD TV's and HDMI monitors were OK.
