Why does the device screen turn black when Netflix video is played through InstaShare or HDMI connection from a laptop or Macbook?

This problem is related to HDCP (High-Bandwidth Digital Content Protection) issues.
Netflix does not allow video content to be played though external monitors.
Therefore users won’t be able to view video content via external displays through HDMI or InstaShare mirroring.

Why does my interactive flat panel (IFP) show white stripes onscreen or crash repeatedly when I try to enable iMirror via InstaShare from my iPhone or iPad?

Why can't I pair my IAM (Identity and Access Management) account with AMS (Account Management System), DMS (Device Management Solution), or X-Sign Broadcast?

Currently, AMS, DMS, and X-Sign Broadcast may all only be paired to one unified IAM admin account. If different IAM admin accounts are used, pairing will fail. For example, if DMS is paired already to an IAM account, you won't be able to pair AMS or X-Sign Broadcast with a new IAM account unless other BenQ services (EX: DMS) are deleted. In essence, AMS, DMS, and X-Sign go together with one IAM account and all need to be unpaired to switch IAM account association. If you would like to pair software with a new IAM account, please delete the devices in associated BenQ services (DMS, AMS, Broadcast) from the corresponding web site. If other BenQ services are deleted but still encounter a pairing issue, please record the MAC address and contact your local BenQ service center for further assistance.

Why can't I set up an email account on the unit using my personal Gmail address?

Most likely the app used has been tagged as not secure by Gmail and is therefore blocked. Please follow the steps below to lower Gmail's security level, as most product-bundled apps don't support new Gmail authentication requirements. This does not mean the app presents a security risk.
Go to Google Account > Security > Less secure app access > Change it to ""ON"" to lower security level.

Why can't my device be bound to another admin account and is still showing as bound to the previous admin account?

(1) Login to your AMS Web using the admin account, then find the IFP and remove it.
(2) Login to your DMS Cloud with the admin account, then find the IFP and remove it.
(3) Do a factory reset on the IFP.
(4) Re-bind the IFP with the DMS Client app.
(5) Add the IFP to the AMS service again.
(6) Enable the AMS service on the IFP.

What should I do if I added my IFP to the X-Sign broadcast again but X-Sign Broadcast had already been bound?

(1) Log in to X-Sign broadcast with your admin account and find the IFP to update it to the latest version (V2.3).
(2) Delete the duplicate IFP that shows as online.
(3) The offline IFP will go online and take effect, and the cross-service binding mechanism will activate as well.

Why is my device still showing as "offline" after updating to X-Sign Broadcast V2.3?

(1) Log in to X-Sign Broadcast with your admin account and find the IFP then remove it.
(2) Log in to DMS Cloud with your admin account, find the IFP and remove it.
(3) Re-bind the IFP with the DMS Client app.
