IOGear 720p HD Wireless USB Video Card Kit
Here comes another practical WUSB application (and “native” peripheral) that follows Kensington Wireless USB Dock Station. The IOGear Wireless USB to VGA Kit is touted as an alternate in-room display adapter that can stream HD (720p) within a 30-foot range wirelessly. You could say this is another niche multimedia product for connecting your PC (XP 32-bit, Vista 32-/64-bit) to a projector or a LCD TV. However, when you come across wiring obstacles such as marble and fireplaces, cutting this cord is something that maybe worth $229.95 (MSRP) - street price will dive near Christmas.
The IOGear WUSB to VGA Kit is among the first to be certified by USB-IF, which guarantees the VGA dongle will work with future PCs (or maybe Macs) with native WUSB host. There’s one caveat though: the IOGear (likely powered by DisplayLink) doesn’t support HDCP so while you can playback any 720p ripped movies or movie trailers, Blu-ray playback is out of the question.Permanent Link
