About this product
This kit exists to solve one specific problem: your computer is on the desk and the screen you want to use is on the wall, and running a long HDMI cable is not an option. You plug the transmitter into the source - a laptop, desktop, camera or games console - and the receiver into the TV or monitor, and the picture goes over the air with no driver to install. That makes it useful in meeting rooms, for presentations, and for wall-mounted TVs where running a cable would mean cutting into the wall. The three things that decide whether it works for you are resolution, the environment and content protection: check the maximum resolution and frame rate you need, remember that wireless links are sensitive to walls and interference from crowded Wi-Fi, and note that HDCP-protected streaming apps often refuse to display over these kits. Both dongles may also need a USB power source, so confirm what is in the box.
