In other words, all you need is an HDMI port on your TV. The picture is optimized for your TV's resolution so you will be making the best of your TV. All resolutions are supported ***** Mobile HotSpot (MiFi) users ***** If your WiFi is powered by a Mobile HotSpot (MiFi), your MiFi device may need additional configuration to allow your chromecast dongle to request images from your iPhone/iPad on port 8081/8082 over HTTP. It may just work out of the box, but we recommend trying the following steps if it doesn't: 1. Port filtering should either be completely disabled, or if enabled, HTTP communication should be allowed on port 8081 & 8082 2. Privacy separation should be disabled 3. If all fails, enable port forwarding with these settings - protocol: HTTP - port range: 8081 to 8082 - destination ip: the ip address of the iOS device running photo cast ***** Important Notices ***** - Cloud-powered slideshows will automatically upload your photos to a private cloud. - If you experience frequent buffering with videos, make sure that both your chromecast and your iPhone/iPad have a good wifi signal reception. Should all else fail, pick a lower resolution. - If you are experiencing any issues, please contact us at photocast@swishly.com. We can't help you if we don't hear from you!
