  1. The Mersive allows a user to sidestep the Mersive Solstice app by connecting directly via Airplay, however there is a catch. Currently the Mersive device can only pass video in this manner, audio is neglected.

  2. Connecting this way is easy, and may provide a more pleasant visual experience than the Mersive Solstice app. If the user does not need audio (or is ok with using their laptop speakers or other USB audio device), this may be the preferred method of connection.

  3. To connect via Airplay, the user should open their control panel via the button imbedded in the top right corner of their screen (in the menu bar).

  4. The control panel should have a button labeled “Screen Sharing” which when clicked will provide a list of available devices to share to. The Mersive device that you would like to connect to should appear on that list.

  5. Select the device you would like to connect to, and your Mac will automatically begin to share.

  6. Again, in recent Airplay testing only visuals are shared, audio is neglected. Many Seattle University classrooms and conference rooms have available USB audio devices such as OWLs and Logitech MeetUps to connect to. If you can connect to these devices, or are happy to use your laptop’s built in speakers, or do not need audio at all, connecting via Airplay may be your go to solution.

Connecting via HDMI cable:

  1. If the above methods of connecting to the Mersive fail, and the TV that you are attempting to use has a free HDMI cable, please feel free to switch inputs on the TV and connect via the provided HDMI cable.

  2. Keep in mind when using a newer Mac device that you may need to add a USB-C to HDMI adaptor in order to use the provided cable.

  3. Any use of an HDMI cable has the benefit of near instantaneous display and auditory feedback. This method may be ideal when maximum functionality is needed, such as when playing videos.

  4. Please submit a ticket using the provided link below if the Mersive device is non-functional in any way.
