New wireless technology Intel WiDi. WiDi technology: video stream over the air Intel widi application download torrent
If you have both a TV and a computer with WiDi modules, then all you have to do to set up wireless picture transmission is download Intel WiDi for Windows 10. A small program, only about 110 Megabytes, allows you to establish a stable connection and transfer pictures without any wires.
Peculiarities
Intel WiDi, or otherwise Wireless display, which translates as “wireless display” is a modern technology that allows you to transfer images from your laptop, smartphone or tablet on Windows 10 to other devices, such as a TV. Moreover, the signal is so stable that you can watch a 2-hour movie and it will not disappear. This is not the only plus, here are a few more:- Possibility of broadcasting HD videos;
- Ability to customize the flow;
- Signal amplification;
And if you just want to watch a movie on the screen of your device, then a standard player will be quite enough -
Greetings to blog readers!
Today on the blog there will be a post that is called “two in one”. I will answer the reader’s question and tell you about another entertaining and convenient technology with which you can organize the transfer of images from the monitor display of one device to another - for example, from a Windows computer to a phone, TV or projector. It is called Intel WiFi Display or Wireless Display - WiDi.
Actually, here was the question:
Greetings.
Transmission from a Laptop via a WiFi channel, Online Display mode, reception is carried out on a Device that is connected to the TV via the HDMI connector.

I think that the history of the emergence and development of WiDi will be boring to read - that’s not what you came here for, right? Therefore, as usual, let's move straight to practice.
Conditions for WiDi operation
So, devices equipped with WiDi have the ability to detect each other and exchange data. However, there are a number of conditions that they must meet to use this technology. If you plan to use a phone in such a combination, then it must be equipped with an Android operating system version no lower than 4.2 and a special chip from RockChip (RTL8188EUS, Broadcom BCM43362, BCM4330, APXX). In addition to phones, Intel WiDi is supported by many TVs, projectors and media players, which also have a built-in chipset from the Intel Centrino line that supports Intel My Wi-Fi. If the device does not have this function, then it doesn’t matter - there are separate devices like WiFi adapters - WiDi adapters, which connect to the TV via HDMI and wirelessly receive picture and sound from a smartphone or tablet.
If you remember, I already talked about a very similar technology - . In my video tutorial, we also used it to play movies stored on the computer on the TV. But there is a difference - with DLNA we could only play files. In WiDi, we have a full-fledged second monitor, which significantly expands the possibilities of use, for example, for playing Android games on a large television screen. One of the varieties of this technology is, which we will discuss in a separate article.
Intel Wireless Display for Windows
But that's not all. Intel Wifi Display can also work on a computer with the Windows 10, 8 or 7 operating system, equipped with a modern Intel processor - Core i3, Core i5, Core i7 - with one of the WiFi adapters:
- Intel® Centrino® Wireless-N 1000
- Intel® Centrino® Advanced-N 6200, 6205, 6230 or 1030
- Intel® Centrino® Advanced-N + WiMAX 6250 or 6150
- Intel® Centrino® Ultimate-N 6300
As you understand, the use of this adapter built into the processor is only possible if the built-in video core of the processor is working. If your computer has a separate video card installed and the video core of the Intel processor is disabled, the circuit will not work.
Also, WiDi only works with Windows OS no lower than 7, so XP fans won’t be able to see WiFi in action either.
How to set up Intel Widi?
Let's summarize - to set up WiDi we need 2 devices - a source and a receiver. They may be:
- TV with built-in WiDI chip or external adapter
- Windows computer or laptop with Intel processor and Wireless Display support
- Smartphone with RockChip and Android 4.2+
If all this is available, then let's set it up. We will use the large screen of a regular TV as a receiver. We turn it on, connect an external one to it via HDMi and select it as the source for the picture. An image like this will appear (using the Netgear adapter in this example), indicating that the device is ready to connect to a signal source:
To broadcast video from a computer, you need to download the Intel Wireless Display program for your operating system and run it.
After launching it, a window will open with a list of devices with a working adapter located in the reception area. Choose our TV.
We enter it on the PC when connecting and after a few seconds we get a duplicate of the computer desktop screen on the TV monitor.
Intel WiDi via smartphone
The video can be played in the same way from an Android smartphone. First, using the same scheme, we turn on the adapter on the TV, after which we go to the “Settings” menu on Android and look for the “Wireless projector” (or screen) item. If it is not there, then your phone does not support WiDi and you will not be able to connect.
After a few seconds, the image from the phone display will appear on the monitor. If you have the vertical mode activated, it will not be displayed correctly, so switch your smartphone to the horizontal screen orientation mode in advance.
As you can see, the technology is very viable and significantly expands the possibilities of using a smartphone or laptop as a full-fledged media center. Unfortunately, today the only, but significant, limitation is the hardware requirements - only certain chipsets, wireless adapters and processors can work with it. However, in the future, I think Wireless Display will become the same generally accepted data transfer standard as DLNA.
Finally, I bring you a visual video about connecting WiFi Display - the video is in English, but the demonstration will be understandable to absolutely everyone. Good luck with the setup!

In this article we will get acquainted with an interesting technology from the processor giant Intel - Wireless Display, or WiDi. The name clearly hints at such a familiar abbreviation as Wi-Fi, which is why there is an erroneous spelling - Intel Wifi Display. Indeed, here we are dealing with wireless data transmission, but Intel offers us something else - broadcasting a video signal from a laptop running Windows to a monitor or TV screen.
Indeed, it is very convenient to do without cables stretching along the floor to the place where you decide to sit with your laptop. Unfortunately, there are hardware limitations for using the technology; not all equipment is compatible with it. The requirements indicated on the Intel website are as follows:
- Core processor based on Ivy Bridge core and higher with built-in video core;
- Wi-Fi Intel Centrino adapter with 802.11n support.
- Windows version 7 Home Basic or higher with Intel WiDi software installed.
If your laptop has an external graphics adapter, you will have to switch to Intel HD Graphics to use Wireless Display. If it is disabled by the manufacturer, you will not be able to test the technology.
Currently, WiDi allows you to play Blue-Ray quality video; in 2015, the manufacturer promises to add the ability to transmit to a screen with a 4K resolution, which will require a 5th generation Core processor based on the Broadwell microarchitecture.
There are also certain requirements on the part of the image output device, but if it does not have built-in Wi-Fi, then you can simply purchase a specialized set-top box. It connects with an HDMI cable and allows you to use any TV or monitor equipped with this connector.
Installing a “wireless monitor”
Here is an example algorithm for setting up a WiDi connection between a laptop and a TV using the D-Link DHD-131 adapter.
Having connected it to the TV and installed the software on your computer, you can start pairing.
On the TV, you should select the set-top box as the signal source, after which the image will look something like this:
If necessary, the firmware of the set-top box will be updated, since it itself does not have access to the Internet. This is what the WiDi window looks like when the connection is active:
During operation, there will be a noticeable slight delay in mouse movements relative to the cable connection, but there is no discomfort when watching videos or photos.
In addition to laptops, WiDi is also available on Windows tablets based on Intel Centrino, as well as on devices that support wireless transmission using the DLNA standard, for example, Sony PlayStation 3.
Unfortunately, the following restrictions apply when using Wireless Display over DLNA:
- WiDi software version – from 3.5.x, but not higher than 4.2.x.
- Protected data, 1080p video, or surround sound cannot be sent.
Comparison of WiDi and Miracast
Miracast technology provides the ability to transmit video signals over Wi-Fi for devices based on Android 4.2 and higher, certified by the brand owner under the “Wi-Fi Display test plan” program. Wireless Display is compatible with Miracast starting from software version 3.5, but has several noticeable advantages over it, enshrined in the standard:
- support for video playback with quality up to 1080p (Miracast only prescribes the fulfillment of these requirements, but does not guarantee them);
- support for HDCP content protection system;
- The list of video modes has been supplemented with expanded and multitasking modes.
Let's take a closer look at the last point. In multitasking mode, the video player sends the image to the external screen, while the screen of the mobile device itself remains available for use for normal tasks - Internet browsing, calls, games, etc.
Business Application
The entire family of Wi-Fi Display technologies is very attractive and promising for business use. The ability to display presentations, graphics, video calls and much more on a large screen will definitely be in demand in a corporate environment. Intel provides an extension to its technology called Intel Pro WiDi. Among its features, the following qualities are emphasized.
