Part I Introduction ScreenBeam MultiBeam allows you to distribute a wireless display or an HDMI video from the Primary receiver to multiple Remote receivers, over the IP network or over Wi-Fi Direct network or a combination both, at 1080p resolution. ScreenBeam MultiBeam, which enables screen mirroring from a Primary ScreenBeam receiver to multiple Remote ScreenBeam receivers in the MultiBeam cluster (group), is an added feature to ScreenBeam 1100P Wireless Display Receiver.
1.3 Receiver Deployment A MultiBeam cluster consists of one Primary receiver and multiple Remote receivers. The ScreenBeam receivers should be planned and deployed in advance. Primary receiver: It multicasts video streaming to the MultiBeam cluster when the Primary is connected to a wireless display source device. Remote receiver: It receives video streaming from the MultiBeam cluster. There are two connection methods for connecting MultiBeam receivers to a MultiBeam cluster.
Part II Setting up MultiBeam The MultiBeam feature is implemented through the ScreenBeam MultiBeam app, which is pre-installed and can be managed on SPCMS or the receiver’s Local Management Interface (LMI). SPCMS is an extension of ScreenBeam CMS Enterprise and is seamlessly accessible through the CMS dashboard. For details about managing apps on SPCMS, refer to ScreenBeam CMS Enterprise Deployment Guide. LMI is a web-based tool for managing a single ScreenBeam receiver.

Interface: This is the interface on which the Remote receiver connects to the MultiBeam cluster. Wired Ethernet: It refers to the Ethernet connection through which the Remote receiver connects to a network. The Primary receiver must connect to the same network with the Remote receiver via its Ethernet or wireless connection when a Remote receiver’s MultiBeam Interface is set to Wired Ethernet.
Note: If only wireless connection is available on the Remote receiver and Wifi Direct is used to connect to the MultiBeam cluster, the Remote receiver will bridge its network connection to the Primary’s network connection. If you want to modify the name of the MultiBeam cluster, you should configure the cluster name for Remote receiver first, then the Primary. Otherwise, the remotes will lose connection to network. 5.
