Introduction

The InstaShowTM Series is a new-generation solution for business wireless A/V streaming display. This series

of products includes WDC10, WDC10C and WDC20. Not only does it support the FHD resolution, it also

supports plug and play, convenience of not needing to install drivers. Moreover it provides flexible network

security options for IT personnel from various industries to configure appropriate network security settings.

BenQ's new-generation solution for business wireless A/V streaming is to provide users with a good and

secure wireless A/V streaming experience. In addition to basic wireless network packet

encryption/decryption features, it moreover adds a unique network security handling mechanism to

streamed packets that strengthens security of enterprise network environments and reduces burden of

system maintenance on IT personnel. As the InstaShowTM Series supports two types of video input interfaces,

HDMI and USB Type-C. USB Type-C supports the DisplayPort video format through DisplayPort alternate

mode and DisplayPort is called DP for short. If the A/V device on the user's end uses an HDMI or USB

Type-C interface and the USB Type-C supports DP alternate mode, then you can connect the transmission

device of InstaShow to the A/V source device. Plug and play does not require you to install additional

software and the benefit is it can get rid of malicious software attacks or threats from backdoor programs to reduce concerns about products from users.

The InstaShowTM Series System

In 2014 BenQ released the first-generation wireless A/V transmission product, WDP02 and launched the

first-generation business wireless streaming display solution, InstaShowTM (WDC10), in the following year.

After that BenQ released the second-generation business wireless streaming display solution, InstaShow

(WDC20).Through releasing InstaShowTM series of products BenQ delivered the concept of intuitive, stable,

and secure wireless A/V streaming to the business display market in order to provide enterprise users with

more comprehensive and thoughtful choices.

InstaShowTM Series Setup

The main device of InstaShow

WDC10/WDC10C comes with one receiving device (Host) and two

transmission devices (Button).The user just needs to connect one Button to the A/V source device and then

click the button on Button, then the display device connected to Host will instantly display the video screen

of the A/V source device. The other Button can also be connected to another A/V source device, the user

only needs to click the button on this Button and then the screen on the display device will be switched to

the video content of the A/V source device connected to this Button. None of the above operations needs

installation of any software.

The InstaShowTM S — WDC20 is an advanced version of WDC10/WDC10C. In addition to performing the

wireless projection function through a Button, a BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) wireless projection

application is also added to give the user the ability to use iOS or Android devices directly without using a

Button to wirelessly project to the display device connected to the Host. The Host is not only a receiving

device of the InstaShow

Series, but also the core of the entire system. The Host is mainly responsible for

receiving the streaming data transmitted from a Button and ensures A/V can be stable and correctly

projected to the display device. The Host of InstaShowTM can be connected to 16 Buttons wirelessly

simultaneously, and the Host of InstaShowTM S can connected to 32 Buttons simultaneously. The IT personnel

in an enterprise can add the Host to the enterprise network through the LAN port on the Host. When the

Host becomes one of the devices in the enterprise network, IT personnel can then connect to the Web UI

of the Host through the network to manage the device status of the InstaShowTM Series remotely. Even if the

Host becomes an enterprise LAN device, external threats still could not acquire the A/V streaming data

between the Host and a Button through intrusion by phishing or penetration.

A Button is the transmission device in the InstaShowTM system. We support two types of interfaces for the

Button, HDMI and USB Type-C in which USB Type-C supports the DisplayPort image format through

DisplayPort alternate mode. There are two buttons on the HDMI Button, one is an HDMI cable and the

other is a USB Type A cable.

The USB Type A cable is responsible for providing power to the Button and the HDMI cable is responsible

for HDMI-formatted A/V data. HDMI devices have become quite popular and common on the market. For

example most laptops, PS4, Blu-ray DVD players come equipped with HDMI ports.

The USB Type-C Button only provides power to the system trough a single USB Type-C cable (supports

DisplayPort alternate mode) and at the same time receives DisplayPort-formatted A/V data. Commonly seen

USB Type-C devices include laptops. mobile devices and so on. Since some USB Type-C devices only support

data transmissions by common file formats and does not support DisplayPort alternate mode. That means it

cannot transmit the A/V formatted signals. Therefore before using the USB Type-C Button, the user has to

make sure the USB Type-C port on the A/V source device supports DisplayPort alternate mode.

Based on the functions of the first generation InstaShowTM, InstaShowTM S can moreover connect to HID

devices (such as touchscreens, mice) through the USB Type A port on the Host to transmit control signals

on the HID device to the Button through the USB cable. Therefor the USB cable on the Button in the

InstaShowTM S not only provides power, but also supports receiving of HID commands to send back the HID

commands received from the USB Type A port on the host with encryption wirelessly to the Button. After

that the Button can send back the HID commands to the A/V source device through the USB Type A port

connected to the A/V source device.

Single click the Button, and the Button will encode and compress the DisplayPort A/V signals sent from

HDMI or USB Type-C and then transmit to the display device connected to the Host through the wireless

network.
