Google Chromecast FAQ

What is it?

is a small device that plugs into a television’s HDMI socket, enabling the casting of internet media from a guest’s device to the in-room television.  The device allows guests to access a range of content from apps such as Netflix, BBC iPlayer, YouTube and Spotify.

How does it work?

Using a portable device (such as a smartphone or tablet) as a remote control, the guest can choose from a list of compatible apps and simply “cast” the app’s content from the device onto the TV. All that’s needed is a wifi connection, a Chromecast unit and a television with an HDMI port.

Is it simple to use?

Yes! Airwave's Chromecast solution is based on a one-step authentication process. Guest's simple scan a QR code on the in-room TV and pair their smart device accordingly. Simple as that!

Why is it important?

Eight in ten adults in the UK1(40 million people) use subscription services such as Netflix or catch-up TV services and over 45 million people own a smart portable device.

Chromecast enables a guest to watch their own content on the room’s big screen, providing the much sought after “home-from-home” experience. Click here for a further list of benefits offered to the guest and hotel.

Do I need a smart TV?

No. A Chromecast unit turns a non-smart TV into a smart TV, providing a multitude of popular apps, a browser and typically, a quicker, more intuitive viewing experience.

Why is a 'hospitality certified chromecast necessary?

A hospitality certified Chromecast device will be configured to prevent interference between rooms and housed in protective casing to stop tampering and theft.

Chromecast can also be integrated into an information system, providing an intuitive point of access and ensuring the return to a branded GUI when casting has finished.

What platforms are compatible with chromecast?

Chromecast is compatible with Windows, Android, Apple OS X, Chrome OS and Linux.

Is chromecast the same as screen-mirroring?

No.  Chromecast allows users to browse their device without disrupting what’s streaming to the TV (as an example, users can receive calls, respond to texts and surf the net whilst watching content from Netflix). Also, screen mirroring is only compatible with Android devices and consequently only relevant to a fraction of guests.

Will casting drain my battery and/or data allowance?

No.  Your battery is only used to initiate casting and all solutions use wifi, not data.

Absolutely! both Airwave and Otrum are certified partners of Samsung, LG and Philips, and can easily integrate OtrumCast with LYNK REACH, Pro:Centric and CMND.
