SMART STREAM
SmartStream Operation* (Optional WM1
Module Required/ HR8SS Kits only)
Smartstream is an optional feature that
allows wireless content streaming from a
Smartphone or Tablet to HR8SS Headrest
congurations (HR8MA1 monitors). Content
that can be wirelessly streamed from your
device may be restricted depending on the
Smartphone or Tablet and/or the content
that is intended to be streamed wirelessly to
the HR8SS system.
•Apple Airplay restricts the wireless
transmission of copyrighted material
using DRM (Digital Rights Management).
Content such as Movies or Videos
purchased through iTunes or streaming
services such as Netix and Hulu will be
restricted in transmitting from an iPhone
or iPad wirelessly. This is not a Smartstream
performance issue with the HR8SS system
or WM1 module. This is an Apple limitation
based on Airplay connectivity to devices
other than AppleTV. Personal Photos,
Videos and non-protected content can be
transmitted wirelessly from Apple devices
through Smartstream.
•Android is an open platform that has
less restrictions related to the type of
devices it can connect to wirelessly and
the content that can be passed between
devices. Although all content cannot be
guaranteed to pass wirelessly from an
Android Smartphone or Tablet through
Smartstream, much more content has
been found to pass when an Android
device is connected to the HR8SS system.
Note: The only way to guarantee content can
be passed from a Smartphone or Tablet to an
HR8SS system is through a tethered HDMI
connection (Smarthone and Tablet HDMI
Adapter required which can be purchased at
your local Smartphone or Tablet retailer)
