Onyx Boox recently pushed the latest v3.5.3 system update file for its own products, which brings many new features and changes. Last time we reported to you that the overseas version will add a "Hong Kong" server after the model update, allowing the device to embed the "Nowbook" bookstore . Today we will focus on introducing another very practical new feature - "BOOXDrop Screen Mirroring".
The Boox E-Reader itself has a built-in "screen casting" function, but it can only be used in the same network domain, on computers with Windows 10 or above that support the screen casting function (Projecting to this PC), or devices with Google Chromecast (such as Google TV) etc. And its limitation is that when the reader is projected onto the computer, the reader content will be displayed in full screen. The user cannot operate the computer separately and can only use the mouse to operate the e-reader in reverse.
The newly added "BOOXDrop Screen Mirroring" breaks this restriction. As long as the device is in the same network domain and the device has a browser, Boox e-Reader can cast the screen to the device through the URL or by scanning the QR CODE. ,More convenient. The most important thing is that after successful screencasting, the user can still continue to operate the computer. This means that when users use different online conferencing tools (such as Zoom/Google Meet, etc.), they can easily display the reader screen in the form of screen sharing, directly open and present electronic files, or run and operate third-party APPs , or add a note to turn the device into an electronic whiteboard and write directly on it. In particular, unlike the "Screen Cast" function, "BOOXDrop Screen Mirroring" only supports screen sharing and does not support reverse control of the reader.
Boox users can mirror the reader screen to other devices through the URL or scanning the QR CODE.
As long as your device has a browser, you can easily cast the screen of Boox E-Reader to it, which is very convenient.
Therefore, Boox users can now choose the most suitable method among the above two screen casting functions according to their own needs.
What if your Boox device has been updated to v3.5.3, but you can't find "BOOXDrop Screen Mirroring"? Don't worry, please swipe down on the upper right corner of the device to bring up the "Control Center", then press the pencil icon on the upper right corner (this is the "Edit" key), and then you will see the "BOOXDrop Screen Mirroring" icon in the lower half. blocks, as well as the "AI Assistant" and "Global Handwriting" newly added in this update. You can use these new function blocks by dragging them above!
