Intel® WiDi use with DLNA devices

In order to use Intel® WiDi with a DLNA device like Sony PlayStation* 3 game consoles, you must have the following:

  • A system with Intel® WiDi software version 3.5X or later installed, along with appropriate video and WiFi drivers.
  • A DLNA device with wireless networking enabled.
  • Both the system and the DLNA device must be connected to the same wireless access point (AP).
Note A DLNA connection does not support protected content, 1080p video, or surround sound.

To stream your Intel WiDi system display to the DLNA device:

  1. Launch the Intel WiDi application on your computer.
  2. Power on your DLNA device, locate the list of video servers and search for Intel WiDi in the list.
  3. Select Intel WiDi. If the video server list brings up a second Intel WiDi device, select that device.
  4. A window displays and asks you to allow the screen to be shared with the DLNA device. Click Yes.

At the same time, a message displays on the TV reminding you to allow the screen to be shared.

After a few seconds, the Intel WiDi screen is duplicated on the TV. There is normally a few seconds lag before the screen display.

If you see a longer lag time, or poor streaming performance:

  • Check the signal strength from the DLNA device to the AP, and computer to AP.
  • Make sure the DLNA device is updated with the most recent software and/or firmware version.
