Belkin's New Adapter Works Without Wi-Fi
4 Jan
Summary
- New adapter transmits video wirelessly without needing Wi-Fi.
- It works with any USB-C source and HDMI display.
- Belkin's device supports up to eight transmitters to one receiver.
Belkin has introduced a groundbreaking wireless display adapter that operates independently of any Wi-Fi network. This innovative device, named ConnectAir, features a USB-C transmitter for source devices like laptops and tablets, and an HDMI receiver for displays. It eliminates the need for driver installations or app compatibility, enabling seamless video transmission.
The adapter supports 1080P/60Hz video and boasts an impressive range of up to 131 feet, ideal for conference rooms or hotel stays. While not as universally integrated as protocols like AirPlay, it offers broader compatibility as long as both devices have the necessary USB-C and HDMI ports. The HDMI receiver requires a USB-A port for power.
This 5GHz wireless connection can penetrate walls, though performance may vary. A key feature is its ability to connect up to eight transmitters to a single receiver, simplifying setup and switching between devices without physically moving the receiver, which is particularly useful for hard-to-reach displays.
