Reference: Using Media Share Features
When the appropriate Media Share options are enabled in the IP Environment / Media Share Menu (see
“Media Share Setup” on pages 78 to 80, as necessary), guests have the ability to use one or more of
the following Media Share features:
• Smart Share: Allows guests to use the TV to access and view media les (photos, videos, music, etc.)
shared by DLNA Certied devices (the devices must be connected to the same LAN as the TV).
• Screen Share: Allows guests to select a Miracast or WiDi capable device, whose screen can be displayed
on the TV.
• DIAL: Allows guests to play selected application media on the TV from a device with DIAL capability.
The device may be used to cast any application for which a TV-compatible application has been created/
selected for inclusion in the Pre-loaded Apps Menu (see “Pre-loaded Applications” on page 77).
• SoftAP: Allows guests to use the TV as a 2.4 GHz wireless access point for up to ve devices.
This section provides an overview of the Smart Share, Screen Share, DIAL, and SoftAP functionality.
Note: Typically, only one Media Share feature may be used at a time. If one feature is
currently in use, you may have to exit or turn it off in order to use/turn on another. In some
cases, you will be prompted to conrm your action. Follow the display prompts as necessary.
