Miracast
Miracast technology allows users to wirelessly share content from a Microsoft®
Windows® 10 device via the CCS-UC-1. Miracast technology is built into the Microsoft
Windows 10 operating system, so no software installation is required.
NOTE: An AM-USB-WIFI or AM-USB-WIFI-I AirMedia Wi-Fi USB Adapter (sold
separately) must be installed on the CCS-UC-1 to use the Miracast feature. For details,
refer to the AM-USB-WIFI/AM-USB-WIFI-I quick start guide (Doc. 8494) available at
www.crestron.com/manuals.
A Miracast connection consists of two phases. The discovery phase and the connection
phase. During the discovery phase, the Windows 10 device uses Wi-Fi based discovery to
find compatible receivers such as the CCS-UC-1. Once the CCS-UC-1 is discovered by the
Windows 10 device, it is presented in a list on the device. The user can then select the
CCS-UC-1 from the list for connection to the Windows 10 device.
During the connection phase, the Windows 10 device will first attempt to connect to the
CCS-UC-1 via the existing network infrastructure. If the connection over infrastructure
fails, the Windows 10 device will connect to the CCS-UC-1 using a Wi-Fi Direct
connection to the AM-USB-WIFI AirMedia Wi-Fi Adapter that is installed on the
CCS-UC-1.
NOTE: Miracast operation requires that WiFi Direct Mode, Infrastructure, or Wifi
Direct Mode and Infrastructure be set to Enabled.
1. Set Miracast to Enabled. A dialog box prompting a reboot will appear. Select
Yes. The CCS-UC-1 will reboot.
2. After the reboot procedure is complete, log in and navigate to the Miracast
section.
3. Set the Default Windows Experience to Miracast so that instructions for using
Miracast will appear in the web browser when starting the presentation. A dialog
box prompting a reboot will appear. Select
NOTE: If Airmedia Windows Sender is selected as the Default Windows
Experience, Windows 10 users will be prompted to download and use the
AirMedia client software to present content instead of using Miracast.
4. Set WiFi Direct Mode to Enabled so that if the initial connection to the network
infrastructure fails, a Wi-Fi point-to-point connection (Wi-Fi Direct®) will occur.
Yes to reboot the CCS-UC-1.
5. Set Infrastructure Mode to Enabled to connect using the existing network
infrastructure (default setting). Otherwise, set
to connect using Wi-Fi Direct only.

Crestron Airboard Functional Recommendations and Notes:
• A Crestron Airboard recording session must be initiated before it can be routed
to the display.
• If the CCS-UC-1 is rebooted, the presentation routing to the display is stopped.
However, the active Crestron Airboard session is not.
• When unpairing a CCS-WB-1, it must be unpaired from the web user interface
before it can be paired again with another system.
• The CCS-WB-1 does not distinguish between the organizer and participants. Any
allowed participant can accept or invite any other participant into the session.
Any participant who knows the login code can join an active session and share a
link with the login code to any other person
without explicit knowledge of the organizer

Adapter with Wi-Fi® Connectivity and configured for Miracast operation, a Windows 10
computer can present content without using the client application. For details on
configuring the CCS-UC-1 for Miracast operation, refer to “Miracast” on page 54.
Google® Chrome web browser users can use the AirMedia extension to easily present
web browser and desktop content.
Mobile devices can present their content using the Crestron AirMedia app or the
