Cast or Connect tablet to Television via HDMI

Activities Director would like to be able to enlarge the tablet content to a larger screen. She figured there was a way to do this from a tech standpoint and understands the use case of the tablet, but feels the tablet screen may be too small for a 1:1 with staff and a resident, with 2 residents and 1 staff, or with those with lower vision.

    Given our USB-C charging port in the Tablet, it appears to be unlikely as a means for universal support via an HDMI cable. However, the tablets have the ability to 'Smart View' with allows the ability to connect to a Smart TV and mirror the connection.

    Requirements:

    • A non-kiosked tablet

    • Samsung Tablet with Smart View (reached via settings and press and drag of the top of the screen)

    • A Smart TV (wifi enabled)

    • Tablet and TV on the same wi-fi network

    • TV must be set up to accept mirroring of device (Typically an input or setting)

    • Tablet must use Smart View to find the TV and connect to it.

    Assumptions:

    • Brand difference on TV should not matter. (I tested Samsung tablet to Sony TV)

    • Browsing the internet is not interrupted
