Remote Hoster Lyrics Monitor Display
Greetings,
Does anyone out there have a solution that supports the display of Hoster software lyrics on a monitor screen via “WiFi” usage, that is, without cable wiring from the laptop to the device? Thanks in advance for any advice or guidance, Gwen (AKA The Karaoke Queen www.TheKaraokequeen.com) |

Re: Remote Hoster Lyrics Monitor Display
My own experience was not 100% success.
Worked fine in the Home but got the odd freezing or lag of lyrics on occasions and my second monitor was only 15ft away. It may be that when at a gig there are loads of people with cell phones I used an early version of Screenbeam from this company the newer ones may have improved but I never tried them: https://www.screenbeam.com/products/screenbeam-mini2/ Newer windows 10 computers that have Miracast only need the Screenbeam not the kit. If you want to try it and find it may have improved I would be interested to know myself. When using it on a computer with Miracast capability You can still run other screens from your existing HDMI at the same time so effectively showing 3 screens in Display settings.

Re: Remote Hoster Lyrics Monitor Display
A little video I made showing how you can use the wireless connection to give a third separate display:

Re: Remote Hoster Lyrics Monitor Display
Roy,
I have a question. Is the Actiontec device you mention in this YouTube video needed in addition to the device you provided a link for in your original email response? (That is, https://www.screenbeam.com/products/screenbeam-mini2 ) If both devices are needed to support third monitor display, can you please provide a link for the device you mention in this YouTube video? Thanks in advance, Gwen |

Re: Remote Hoster Lyrics Monitor Display
No, the one I have is no longer available from the manufacturer, The nearest new model to it is the Actiontec 750 receiver prices around $200
You can find some the same as mine on ebay but make sure you are buying the receiver, not the transmitter or the extender. Here is a link to one I found shows as New unopened $34. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Actiontec-S...8AAOSwTaxdOkD2 If your computer supports wireless display you do not need the transmitter. As I showed in the video if you open display settings on your computer and scroll down you should see an option to connect to a wireless display, if you don’t see the option then you will need to purchase the transmitter as well. There are some advertised as transmitter + receiver$40 as shown here: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Actiontec-S...sAAOSwQhNdQhQu The link I gave you previously is for the mini version2, will still work without receiver if your computer supports wireless display, I don’t know how it compares to my version but comparing the price difference of the mini 2 to the Actiontec 750 model I should think there would be an improvement.
