D‑Cine Player · 4.2.32 release

DCP Cine Player AirPlay Casting

AirPlay screen mirroring through UxPlay, with explicit network selection and the player’s existing output controls.

Choose the receiver’s network

An administrator enables Casting, chooses a unique receiver name and saves the exact interface/IPv4. AirPlay and mDNS use that selection; a missing address does not silently switch to another network.

The mode is disabled by default. Enabling a configuration does not start it, and reboot does not enter it automatically.

Enter. Connect. Present. Leave.

1 · Enter on Player

Stop ordinary playback, turn SCHED off and cancel Delay Play. Choose Enter Casting below the transport buttons.

2 · Connect one presenter

Select the receiver in iPhone/iPad/Mac Screen Mirroring and enter the fresh code when requested. Windows needs a compatible third-party AirPlay screen sender.

3 · Return deliberately

Leave Casting or Stop releases the outputs and restores the previous stopped selection. It does not start a show or enable SCHED.

Plan for the actual presentation

The initial target is H.264 up to 1080p30 with stereo audio through the configured local or Legacy Display SDI output. The sender and selected network must support reachability and mDNS discovery. The receiver reserves outputs while active, including while waiting after a sender disconnect.

Google Cast, Windows built-in Miracast, protected streaming-app playback, AirPlay audio-only/HLS and recording are outside this implementation. Real sender pairing, AAC‑ELD audio, physical outputs, latency/sync and sustained use require commissioning on the intended installation.
