Wireless from Computer to a Projector

Recommended Posts

I want to run my video clips that are part of my sequences from the computer to my projector, which I do now, but I use a cable. I want to move my "Command Center" if you will, probably 40 feet away, in another room.  Has anyone done this? And, if so, or if you have knowledge in the audio visual world, what wireless adapter would you recommend. I've come across a couple that say 30 feet, and IN ROOM, which won't help me with my dilemma...trying not to run a cable across the attic, down the walls, etc...any help or input would be appreciated!  Thanks

Hopefully you will get other answers based on actual use experience, but I'm guessing that running the cable will be less headache than dealing with issues from wireless.

Thats not the answer I'm lookin for KLB!  I'm a big man, and its very tight up in that attic area...perhaps I can get one of my little skinny friends to go up there for a small fee!

Yes, something like this. but based on my 2 sets of walls to go thru, and 30 feet, I'm a little skeptical, perhaps I shouldn't be...wifi for the computer goes from the same room I'm trying to transmit to without any problem, but that is not a video stream, and thats what has me hesitant..

I used 4 projectors in my windows this year and used 25, 35, and 50 foot cables with no issues. I have not found a good, dependable, wireless solution. If you do find one, I would love to know, tripping over cables for a month is not fun.

Thanks for  the suggestions guys..I will look into these...the IOGear,  if it hits 100 feet, might be very doable, of course thru walls, your mileage will vary.  The HDFlow looks good too, more expensive, I see about 365 is the lowest I've seen for that,  most places are sold out, which is usually a good sign. 130 foot range is nice.

Apple TV and AirParrot? (if the projector has an HDMI input) - everything runs on WIFI and AirParrot provide the ability to stream from your show PC... Problem might be the built in delay....
