AirVideo 2000: Using Wi-Fi for streaming display pictures



Value

Checking the web for prices, we saw prices ranging around 180 Euro mark, e.g. 220 USD. We feel that it doesn't cost a lot for the professional use, but some of the issues we experienced should be fixed in the next version if AirLive wants to get a passing grade. If you have a choice between spending this money or at least 20m or so of VGA cable to have a neat conference room, AirLive's product definitely provides good value for buck.

Conclusion

If you're going to handle the equipment of a conference room where you want to get rid of all those cables running here and there, you will like this product. But if you plan to get it for home purpose, to have videos streamed to your beamer and don’t always watch native MPEG-2 videos, you won’t find it very valuable because it's likely it will not be a smooth presentation. 

Overall, our suggestion to AirLive is to correct the issues with the product and release a second generation part with improved video performance. With the arrival of Office 2010 next year, multimedia usage is going to be increased in every presentation.

Well to be fair, it's a bit old. by: General Lee D. Mented on 6/19/2009
I reviewed one of these well over a year ago, and it was a pretty nifty gadget then. These days the lack of resolutions above 720p and the performance with h.264 is a bigger issue than it was then, as is VGA vs HDMI for connection. For what it costs you can almost build an entire micro formfactor machine and be free of any limitations.

IP address change delay

Greetings,

The planned network provider change will not happen as planned, due to our site administrator ending in hospital as a consequence of his gliding accident. The wounds are not life-threatening but Mr. Ivica Hosko is still in the hospital, four days after the crash with transportation to Zagreb in two days time. We send our best wishes and hope for a speedy recovery. As soon as Mr. Hosko returns to his daily post, we'll announce the details of our network provider switch.

The following message is for Mr. Ivica himself:  "Ivica, you nut - gliding around a 2km/6600ft mountain with changeable winds in November?"

Thanks for understanding,

Ed-in-chief
