The HoverCast- Introduction ThePilot comesequippedwithawirelessHDMIantennaand receiver combinationcalledtheHoverCast.UsingtheHoverCast,thePilotcommunicateswirelesslywithanyinteractive flatpanel,projector,display,orunitwithanHDMI input.TheHoverCastpairs one-to-one from antenna to receiver, so it is possible formultiple HoverCastsignalstobepresentinthesameroomwithoutinterference. As the HoverCast does not require a wi-fi signal or Bluetooth signal to function,wirelessHDMIoperationdoesnotaffectinternetconnectivity,bandwidth,Bluetoothconnectivity,orotherexternalwirelesscommunication. The HoverCast- Components The HoverCast is composed of twomain components: thewireless HDMI antenna(connectedatthetop-leftcornerofthePilottouchscreenmodule)andthewirelessHDMIreceiver (included inpackaging).BothcomponentsarenecessaryforwirelessHDMIviewing.ThewirelessHDMIreceiverrequiresexternalpower.TheidealtestedrangebetweentheHoverCastantennaandreceiveris30ftorless.NOTE:ThewirelessHDMIreceiverisspecificallypairedwithitscorrespondingPilotunit.Lossordamageofthereceiverwillimpairone-to-oneconnectivity.Pilotunitswithlostorbrokenreceiverswillneedanewreceivertobepairedandprogrammedbeforecontinuinguse.Ifyourreceiverislostorbroken,pleasecontactHoverCamSupport. HoverCast Pairing WirelessHDMIreceiversandantennaecomealreadypairedoutofthebox.HoverCastconnectionrequiresline-of-sightvisibilitytomaximizefunctionality. Tobeginpairing,makesureyourHDMIreceiverissecuredtothedesiredoutputdevice(usingtheattachedscrewunit)and isconnectedtoexternalpower.Whenproperlypowered, the receiver will display a single red solid light. Once receiving power,connecttheincludedHDMIcablefromthereceivertotheHDMIinputonthedesiredoutputdevice.Ifworkingwithatouch-enabledoutputdevice,connecttheprovidedUSBtouchcablebetweenthereceiverandoutputdevice.
