Before you connect

Compatibility

Your phone and TV should be on the same Wi-Fi network. Availability depends on what the TV advertises and what each media format requires.

Samsung and compatible local-media TVs (Beta)

FlipZi has a tested Beta Samsung-compatible DMR route for personal photos, MP4 video, and supported audio. PDF page presentation is also Beta and sends rendered page images. This is not a claim of universal DLNA support. A remembered TV is not shown as connected unless it is found in the current scan.

Screen mirroring (Beta)

Stock Samsung TVs use the phone's system casting experience, such as Smart View on supported Samsung phones. FlipZi does not claim that a stock Samsung TV is a FlipZi receiver. Protected video may appear black because of DRM or HDCP restrictions.

FlipZi Receiver

The current receiver is for Android TV and Google TV. It supports secure PIN pairing plus Beta screen mirroring, Beta Live Camera, and Beta web URL handoff. Personal-media playback is not currently enabled in the production receiver.

AirPlay

iPhone and iPad use Apple's platform-supported AirPlay media routes. On Android, FlipZi can pair with compatible AirPlay 2 receivers and send supported hosted audio or video as a Beta feature. Whole-screen AirPlay remains controlled by the operating system, and photo support appears only when the receiver advertises it.

Other TV platforms

For Google Cast or Chromecast, a Beta route is present only in builds configured with a registered receiver application ID. It is not advertised as supported until current certified-device validation passes.

FlipZi does not currently provide a direct receiver for Roku OS, Fire TV, LG webOS, Vizio SmartCast, or Apple TV. A phone may still offer its own system mirroring route, but that route is controlled by the phone and TV platform rather than FlipZi.

TV brands can ship different operating systems by model and region. Support is determined by the detected receiver protocol, not by the brand name alone.
