StarTech USB to HDMI or HDMI over IP Converter Video Card IPUSB2HDMI (Black) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have been using this at my office for about a month. Every client we bring into our conference room is impressed that we can give presentations without any wires. The only dissapointing thing about it is that your mouse jumps around on the tv and things take a few seconds to display. Overall a great product that I would recommend to others!

RocketfishTM - 4-Port Wireless HD Kit Rf-whd200 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Had a nasty cabling situation where it was not possible to run HDMI through the walls. Was getting ready to do serious renovations when a friend recommended this.
My setup is a Scientific Atlantic HD cable box and a PS3 (netflix, bluerays etc) transmitting to a Sony Bravia 47" 1080p LCD TV approx 10 feet away. Don't have direct line of sight, signal is traveling through a built in bookcase, a few studs and some drywall.
Setup was a breeze, had it working in less than 5 minutes. Supplied cables are of good quality.
Watching 1080p BD's (eg tested Avatar, Pacific, Lord of the Rings) was awesome, could not notice any difference in picture quality (compared against a physical cable)
Also like that is runs on 6hgz, did not get in the way with my dual channel wireless network running on 2.4 and 5ghz.
Highly recommend this, have been using for 2 weeks with most of our experience either 720 or 1080p with absolutely no issues.Downsides (all minor)
Supplied remote is very small - you definitely want to program signals into a universal remote.
Changing resolutions takes approx 1-2 seconds, this can occur in expected places, e.g. bringing up the cable menu (switches from 1080p to 720p).

Price on Amazon is almost half of the big box stores.

Use this kit to mount an HDTV to a wall or a projector to a ceiling, and place the source components elsewhere in the room. This kit is also ideal for an HDTV or projector installation where running an HDMI cable would be difficult.

ASUS WiCast EW2000 Wireless HD Video Transmitter and Receiver Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I'm looking for wireless HD solutions for a while to meet my needs : 1. to work with my DirectTV receiver DIRECTV Plus® HR24 High Definition MPEG-4 DVR (HR-24-500) HD DVRand wirelessly transmit the HD A/V signals to my 2nd TV in other room; 2. to wirelessly send signals to the projector from my laptop with HDMI output. Recently I found Amimon's WHDI solution is the most latest and advanced technology and here comes two products using this technology which can fulfill my requests and I got both of them. They are ASUS WiCast EW2000 Wireless HD Video Transmitter and Receiver (from my laptlop) and brite-View Air SyncHD New Arrival! brite-View "Air SyncHD" (BV-2322) Wireless 1080p HD Video/ Audio Transmission Kit(for my DirectTV receiver) and I'm satisfied with both of them so far though with limited time of ownership.
Asus WiCast is pretty straight forward to set up, I only need to connect the transmitter to my laptop and connect the receiver to the projector and it's done, it wirelessly streams everything on my laptop screen to the projector and then on the projection screen. The quality of signals and transmission are great (but probably it's designed for in-room usage only so there's limitation of the distance and the penetration. I tried to connect it to the DirecTV receiver but the signal got choppy after the wall in between even it's within 30 feet).
brite-View Air SyncHD works just like it should be, I connect the transmitter to DirectTV receiver (and connect the HDMI output of the transmitter with HDTV to pass through the signals) and also connect the receiver to my 2nd TV in other room within 30 feet. The quality of HD A/V signals and transmission are great too, only it takes a bit longer to synchronize. The penetration is great without any delay and I can control the DirectTV receiver in other room with its IR sensor/extender.
I really like these two products and the WHDI technology really works great. I review both of them is to provide information and reference for those who are also looking for wireless HD solutions and you can decide which one is most suitable for your situation. Hopefully it helps!
