Specifications

the connection is simply for displaying content, which is usually not of a confidential
nature (e.g. photos, movies and games). In most cases the displays are far enough away
from public spaces that the wireless connection may not be intercepted. All day battery life
is not as critical in a living room or home entertainment environment, so for consumers,
Intel optimizations are positioned for their quality and performance improvements.
Table 1 below lists the features enabled when an Intel vPro technology platform is used
with an Intel Pro WiDi certified receiver.
Table 1. Intel Pro WiDi Features with a Pro WiDi Certified Adapter
User Experience
 Connect Quickly within 12 seconds.
 Panel Self Refresh optimizes bandwidth usage; saves
battery life by allowing the transmitting client to transmit
image data only when display buffer data has changed.
 Fast Presenter hand-off - Next waiting presenter connects
quickly, if previously paired with the WiDi receiver in use.
 Privacy features
o “Now Presenting” indicator reminds the user
that they are connected and sharing their display
content with a wireless display.
o Visual confirmation before content display
provides a way to confirm that the user is connected
to the wireless display in their room and not an
adjacent room.
Security
 Isolate WPANs - Blocks bridging to corporate WLAN.
 Restrict WPAN to WiDi - Prevent PC-to-PC access to data
via WPAN.
Manageability
 Manage Remotely – Manage clients via Intel WiFi IT Admin
Tool; Manage receivers via SNMP, telnet/CLI, or HTTP.
 Limit network bandwidth – Limits bandwidth used for
display with a particular Pro WiDi receiver by restricting
client connections to 720p resolution.
 Identify WiDi Receivers in the Environment - Name
receivers and customize receiver splash screens.
Regulatory
 DFS Roaming – When DFS Roaming is enabled and the
client is connected to a DFS channel, the client automatically
switches to a non-DFS channel, if available.
Additional
Features
 Adapter standby – The adapter for Intel ProWiDi should go
into a standby state after 30-60 seconds when not connected
to a client. In the standby state, the display device should be
blank.
