Wireless USB adapter for PC to monitor/HDTV display There is life in the UWB/Wireless USB market yet! Atlona Technologies, which makes connectivity solution-based AV products, and Wisair, one of the remaining UWB/Wireless USB chip companies, have announced the availability of a Wireless USB display adapter set that wirelessly transfers PC content to TVs, monitors and projectors. Users can view video, Internet content and pictures from their computer on monitors and HDTV displays without the hassle of extra cables. The Wireless USB Adapter Set features VGA and HDMI outputs with the ability of both outputs being active simultaneously. It supports up to 1400x1050 screen resolution, provides a wireless range of up to 30 feet (in the same room), and is a fullystandard USB-IF certified solution.
Christopher Bundy, Atlona’s director of marketing, noted "We've been seeing strong customer demand to be able to view PC content on displays and projectors without any video cables, so we are very excited about the potential of this new offering. We have examined several technological solutions, and Wisairs' undoubtedly provided the best range and performance at the most attractive price point."
The set is expected to be available in US retail stores in May at an MSRP of US$199.
The two companies described that price as ‘affordable’. Err ...... to some, maybe, but still not pocket money. Still, it’s good that this kit is getting out there, and as volumes build, then prices should come down.
Hope so – this kit would get a lot of use in this house.
