Product summary
JCast is a free companion app for smartphones and tablets that links your mobile device to a JadooTV Box. It lets you send media — such as music, movies, photos and common office documents — from your phone or tablet straight to the JadooTV Box for playback on the big screen.
Ways to control your JadooTV Box
- Full remote-control functionality for channel and playback navigation
- A touchpad mode that mimics laptop-style pointer control
- On-screen keyboard input for searches and text entry
- Air-mouse operation using device motion to move the pointer
- Precise touch-mouse controls for tapping and dragging
Screen mirroring and direct touch interaction
JCast can mirror the TV display onto your mobile screen, enabling you to interact directly with the JadooTV Box by touching your phone or tablet. This makes navigating apps and menus more tactile and intuitive than using a standard infrared remote.
Photo viewing and presentation tools
When showing pictures, the app supports live adjustments — scale, rotate and swipe images on your mobile device and have those changes reflected instantly on the JadooTV Box. That makes it simple to share albums or run an informal presentation from your device.
Getting started
Download the JCast app to your mobile device from your device’s app store, install it, and follow the in-app setup guide to pair with your JadooTV Box. The application is free to use and ready once pairing is complete.
Required component on the JadooTV Box
For the mobile app to work, the JadooTV Box must also have the corresponding JCast receiver installed and running. Make sure the box’s software includes the JCast module before attempting to connect.
