Wireless DVI

Why Go Wireless?

DVI, or Digital Visual Interface was the first uncompressed digital video signal for mass consumer use and is typically used with computers.  You might recognize the interface as looking like this:

By far, the most common use for DVI is to connect a monitor to a computer.  This is generally done with a DVI cable.  There are a lot of reasons to go wireless however.  One common reason for instance is to use a projector that might be installed in a ceiling enclosure, like in a classroom or auditorium.  Wireless DVI technology would allow you to connect to the projector without having to route the DVI cable through the ceiling and walls, which is not only a costly task for buildings built before 2000 (which are too old to be already wired for DVI), but that amount of DVI cable and the proper DVI boosters would cost quite a bit.

What I'd Suggest

Atlona's Wireless DVI, VGA, and HDMI, or, the AT-HDAiR will send video wirelessly over 30 feet.  So, if your projector is less than 30 feet or 10 meters away, this will work well for you in that scenario.  This unit will even send video through walls, but over less distances (depending on the level of obstruction).

The beautiful thing about this adapter is how easy it is to use, it actually plugs into your USB port, not your video port.  You won't always have a free video port, but you'll probably always have free USB ports.  So not only is the video transmitting wirelessly, it is also being converted from USB.

Not only is the interface on the PC side of this wireless extender/converter convenient, but Atlona conveniently allows you to either output VGA, DVI, or HDMI through a single output on the receiver unit (you simply change the port format with included little passive adapters).  That makes this the ultimate wireless PC to TV solution.  Whether you're looking for a wireless VGA, wireless DVI, or wireless HDMI solution, this is a great one.  Note that for HDMI connections, only video is passed, not audio.
