Belkin PureAV RemoteTV
Posted by Jeremy Charette in "HARDWARE" @ 01:00 PM
"'Most products that offer to extend your video wirelessly deliver poor image quality and create security issues by broadcasting unencrypted data—think wardriving for wireless video. The Belkin PureAV RemoteTV is the best wireless A/V extender we've seen, but its digital-image quality and strong security features don't come cheap. The RemoteTV is simple to use. Attach a source device to the transmitter, connect the receiver to a TV or video recorder, and enjoy. The receiver, which has an integrated antenna and is about the size of a hardback book, delivers composite, S-Video, and component connections. Buy one for every room that will receive video. Standard RCA stereo jacks handle the audio ins and outs. The transmitter also includes a set of A/V outputs that act as a pass-through for local viewing or recording. The only downside to all this transmitting and splitting goodness is the standard-definition video limit."
I've been looking for a standard def wireless a/v extender for a while now, as I live in a small apartment (that I don't own), and don't want to have run 100 ft. of cable to watch TV in another room. This would be an elegant solution to that problem. The only downside is the price, half a grand for one transmitter and receiver. At that price, I think I'll keep looking.
