What Do You Know of HDCP?
Signal protection comes at the top of every manufacturer's priority list, and the High-Bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP) protocol is used by the majority of companies. HDCP is a system designed by Intel to control and manage digital data access via DVI and HDMI interfaces. The main purpose set before HDCP was to prevent the transfer of unencrypted audio and video signals. The HDCP is a licensed product of Intel so the users pay for it but no wireless HDMI systems manufacturers can refuse to use it — a special law enforces the use of this protocol. Plus, HDCP is a mandatory protocol for anyone with the HD Ready certificate.

Amazing Video Quality
The J-Tech Digital HDbitT Series 1X2 Wireless HDMI Extender provides you with the astonishing quality of the video. It has a dual antenna which makes it a very potent wireless HDMI extender. The device extends an HDMI audio/video signal wirelessly up to 164 ft making use of the top technologies. There is an IR control available, and its range is 20-60 kHz; this means you can keep a TV in one room, a DVD player in another and manage the DVD player while sitting in the room with a TV.
The J-Tech Digital HDbitT supports PCM audio pass through but as for Dolby Digital, unfortunately, this extender does not support it. The magnetic-based wires supply the antenna with high-powered wireless signal reception while the device itself guarantees steady signal broadcasting in Ultra HD quality.
Speaking of the delay (latency time), it's 0.3-0.5 second. This isn't a bad result and won't pose any issues for regular users using the extender for watching movies. However, if you are a gamer or a game streamer, you might want to consider something a bit quicker than that.
Still, the product doesn't disappoint and proves that the folk behind J-Tech Digital know their business. Focused on producing high-quality products, the company many made sure to combine the best of technologies to let this model cater to both commercial and non-commercial needs. Plus, to remove any concerns, they back the product with a long 12-month warranty.
Double Broadcasting
Like we said, J-Tech Digital is a big name in the industry known for producing great products that have changed the way how we use audio, video, and home theater today. The unrefutable proof of this is this J-Tech broadcaster. With the help of this little pal, you will be able to transmit the signal on two TVs simultaneously and enjoy the top-notch image with no quality loss. That said, there are a few constraints on using the extender which should be considered prior to purchase.
This type of HDMI is only formally wireless. In reality, it has wires that are hidden inside. Those wires can't be seen unless you crack the thing open and are needed mainly to perform the following tasks:
- Transmission on the thinnest fiber optic cable, which is flexible and capable of being much longer than the standard HDMI cable, and can also be routed in hard-to-reach places;
- Transmission via electrical outlets using PLC technology. The power grid is available in the majority of inhabited rooms nowadays, so it is very convenient to use it for transmitting an additional signal. It is somewhat similar to the ADSL fast Internet technology (which provided internet using phones). But PLC has some disadvantages too, for example, some vulnerability from "noisy" electrical appliances like old refrigerators.
Special Features
The innovative 1x2 feature allows you to split HDMI signal to transmit it over 2 receivers. There is no need for a line-of-sight placement so you can have your home theater devices placed discreetly somewhere out of sight. Furthermore, compared to a single antenna version, this dual antenna modification provides better data transmission rate and more stable video.
Features:
- Wireless HD audio/video broadcasts up to 164 ft away even over standard home walls;
- Support for two receivers simultaneously;
- Wireless Full HD 1080p;
- Improved data rates and video stability
- Lockable DC power plug design;
- Wide frequency IR control;
- Supports 480p, 720p, 1080i, and 1080p video resolutions.

Summarizing our Actiontec HDMI wireless review, we would like to assure you this product is worth every penny — it provides wonderful transmission quality and is easy to manage.
The Fastest and the Thinnest
We all want to get the most from our gadgets and digital accessories.
When it comes to HDMI cables, the Monster company is here to grant that wish. It's not exactly new yet still uncontested.
In 2010, at the annual Consumer Electronics Show (CES), Monster had presented two super cables. The first one, M Series M2000 Hyper-Speed, offered the buyers a 21 Gbps data transmission speed and supported 3D images at 4000x2000 resolution. The other one was a SuperThin Cable for MiniHDMI, its thickness was mere 3.5mm!
According to the developers, a cable this thin should tangle less. The cable, despite being thin, supported 10.2 Gbps of speed and was also equipped with a special LED light that showed if the cable was connected the right way.
How to Connect a Laptop to TV Wirelessly?
It’s pretty simple to mirror your laptop’s display on your TV. Just plug your computer into an HDMI transmitter and your TV into a wireless HDMI receiver. The audio and video quality will be identical to running an HDMI cable. If your computer features an HDTV port and you have an HDTV, you won’t even need any wireless HDMI connectors or adapters for transmitting video from your laptop to TV.

Full A/V Experience
A rule of thumb with audio and video equipment that has to go through several stages of output is that things tend to get lost with each stage that it passes through. This means that in general, you are not getting a full audio and visual experience if your output goes through more than one stage. This can be due to a variety of factors, including signal degradation, interference, and many other things that can affect a remote transmission, whether it be wired or wireless.
While this is generally true with most devices, the Nyrius ARIES Prime (NPCS549) Wireless Video HDMI Transmitter & Receiver makes itself an exception. This wireless HDMI transceiver gives you a full audio and video experience even through its wireless transmission. Transmitting crystal clear audio and video, this kit allows you to stream uncompressed HD video and audio to a separate source without the loss of signal that is common with many other streaming methods. In essence, this wireless HDMI transceiver is essentially just an HDMI cable, but without the physical cable.
Zero Latency
This wireless HDMI transmitter and receiver works as a combination unit of both a transmitter and receiver that can communicate with each other through a distance of up to 30 feet through line of sight transmission. The signal is powerful enough to go through obstacles such as walls, doors, and floors/ceilings, provided that the receiver is close enough. While most other wireless HDMI transceivers can make the same claim, what really sets this model apart from them is that you get a zero latency signal through the line of sight transmission. This means that those who want to use this device for real-time input devices such as computers or gaming consoles can do so without the transmission lagging behind the action. This even includes 3D video streaming, so you can enjoy instant results through virtually any type of input and output device.
Full Surround Sound
This wireless HDMI system works on the latest generation GigaXtreme wireless technology, which gives you optimal streaming through wireless without any loss of quality. Another features that this really helps with is that you get the full Dolby Digital Surround Sound digital multi-channel system, which lets you experience immersive audio in any situation. This is something that is often lost with other wireless HDMI transmitters and receivers, giving this model yet another feature that sets it apart from the competition. If you are looking for a great HDMI wireless transceiver that gives you a zero latency A/V experience, then this model will certain find itself to be a welcome addition to your home entertainment system.

Spread the Vid
Imagine having to transfer a high quality video stream to another device. You’ll need the wires, which will clutter the desktop and/or floor. What’s even worse, not every wire may be compatible with what you have. A modern solution to this problem would be to get a wireless HDMI transmitter like the HPDFCU model.
First off, this smart device doesn’t bring down the picture quality. The hi-res video and upscale audio are transferred uncompressed, even when yours is a 4K 3D source. Experience your fav movies and shows the way they were meant to be viewed. Keep in mind, however, that the output quality depends on the source; the 1080p image will be transmitted as such, for example.
PCs, phones, or gaming consoles, this unit covers it all – and on the level. Simply connect it to your PS5 or smartphone, and you’re all ready to share video content between devices. The HDMI+VGA dual port extends the compatibility of this transmitter even further. No need to buy a dozen adapters to cover most – if not all – your work or entertainment needs. The HPDFCU is right there when you require it.
Your Privacy Protector
Equipped with 2 powerful antennas, this transmitter gives you a stable signal with minimal lags or delays. No more freezing frames or dragging audio; enjoy your movies or TV in any room, on any device. The latency is almost non-existent, being only 0.1s even with the demanding 4K video signal. On the flip side, this device feels somewhat flimsy, although the build quality is actually quite nice.
What if something unexpected happens when you’re in an online class or streaming? Your dogs or kids storm into the room; your neighbor turns on heavy metal with full volume; etc. This transmitter comes with a very handy one click disconnection feature. Turn off the device in a flash if your privacy has been violated or something unexpected has occurred. Then, when all is fine again, turn it on with just another click.
Finally, this transmitter is a plug-n-play device. Only a few connections, and it’s ready to be used. No software or app to install, no tech experience required.
Summing up, the HPDFCU transmitter is your key to universal entertainment across the smart devices that you own.

What Is a Wireless HDMI?
As we all know pretty well, to obtain a high-quality digital video and audio transmission an HDMI cable is needed. But what to do if you need to couple devices installed at a distance and it is inconvenient to use cables? It might happen if, for example, you have more than one floor, or don't want to place wires between rooms on the same floor (which, by the way, might be dangerous). But the solution exists and is pretty simple. The wireless HDMI systems (or wireless video sensors) are easy enough to buy today and there are affordable models available. Well, what is a wireless HDMI system? As a rule, it consists of an HDMI wireless transmitter and receiver to transfer the image and sound signals from your PC, Blu-Ray player, or Gaming Station to the TV screen, monitor, or projector.
If you still have a lot of HDMI cables all over your room, you might be interested in the HDMI switches and splitters. Also, USB wireless adapters will come in handy if your PC or laptop lacks the built-in Wi-Fi receiver.
What Features to Compare
Data Transmission Technology
The data transmission technology is an important parameter when you are selecting a wireless HDMI device. As of today, WirelessHD, WHDI, and WiFi are used the most often. The differences between these types lie in the operational frequency, the distance the device is able to transfer the signal to, and the ability to pass through the obstacles. WirelessHD is able to transfer video and audio in a really high quality but the transmission range is rather limited, especially if there are obstacles involved. At the same time, both WHDI and WiFi transfer data between rooms through walls and sometimes even ceilings just fine but in some cases, a bit of quality might be lost when the distance is too large or the obstacles are too thick.
Video and Audio Quality
Although for quite some time the manufacturers have been feeding us promises that the technology for 4K video wireless HDMI transfer will be developed soon, today the best video quality we can get from this type of devices is 1080p. But that is a lot! After all, the 4K is still new and unsupported format for many other gadgets, too. Moreover, among wireless HDMI models, you can find those supporting 3D, which is a dream come true for many movie lovers and gamers. And as for the audio, the best quality available is 5.1 or even 7.1 uncompressed surround sound. Look through the specs to see if the model you have chosen supports this quality. Just note that this device is not designed to increase quality but only to transmit the sound as nice as possible so if you are streaming the music from your smartphone, for example, the sound will be based on your smartphone specs.
Operating Range
Operating range is essentially the maximum distance between the transmitter and the receiver that will not result in signal loss or image/sound quality decrease. If you are going to set the transmitter and the receiver far from each other or on different floors, for example, we would recommend you to look for the device with an operation range of 100 ft or more. For using them in the same room, you can get a 30 ft working model.
Interfaces and Compatibility
How does a wireless HDMI work? Usually, all transmitters and receivers in a set have HDMI inputs and outputs, to send and receive signals respectively. The more ports like this the set can boast, the more gadgets and devices you will be able to connect. MiniUSB and USB ports are often provided for maintenance and sometimes you will also find a 3.5mm jack or other port to plug your headphones in. And, of course, there are charging ports. As for wireless HDMI connection, you should follow these simple rules. When you connect wireless HDMI to your PC or mobile device, it is necessary to check the operating system installed on the said device. With other gadgets, however, wireless HDMI is more versatile. If the device has an HDMI port, chances are it will work with wireless HDMI without problems.
FAQ:
Q: Do I need to purchase extra cables?
A: As a rule, every kit includes one wireless HDMI cable. Depending on how you set up the system, you might need more cables. For example, you will need one or two more cables to connect them to the inputs on the video transmitter (a cable box or a DVD player). If you're going to use the pass-through feature, you will need another cable. You might also need an HDMI wireless extender, wireless HDMI dongle or a wireless HDMI adapter depending on the devices you're planning to use the system with.
Q: Will a wireless HDMI kit work with a game console?
A: You can transmit the signal from digital cable boxes, satellite receivers, Blu-ray/DVD players, Playstations, Xboxes, projectors, and other HDMI-compatible devices with zero latency, provided that the wireless HDMI kit includes a loop back function. Without this, most devices will have a slight bit of latency, making them less than ideal for gaming.
Q: What is "latency"?
A: It's the amount of time it takes for your device to send information from one location to another. Specifically, in regards to wireless HDMI technology, latency means the time it takes for your packets of audio/video data to go from one the transmitting device to the receiving device. The best wireless HDMI devices have a latency period of less than 1 millisecond.
Q: Can I connect additional receivers?
A: It depends entirely on the model that you purchase. Some kits support multiple receivers, but other units have the receiver and transmitter paired at the factory.
Q: Will a wireless HDMI transmitter work without a cable box?
A: If you have HDMI ports in your TV or monitor, then the answer is "Yes".
Q: Can I use a wireless HDMI kit with my TV wirelessly without a local wired connection at all?
A: Yes. You needn't connect a display to your tv transmitter. The transmitter's output is optional. It's only for your convenience.
Q: Will it transmit signals through walls or concrete ceilings?
A: Almost all HDMI transmitters are strong enough to send audio/video through walls and ceilings. However, this may seriously impact the effective range of your wireless HDMI kit. It is best to make sure you are doing so at a much closer distance than the maximum range as stated by the kit.
Q: Do I need to have a Wi-Fi network for it to work?
A: No. Any wireless HDMI system has its own wireless transmission independent of Wi-Fi networks.
