About the ScreenBeam 1100 Plus - Wireless A/V Extender
The ScreenBeam 1100 Plus is a dedicated wireless audio-visual extender system designed to transmit high-definition video and audio from a source device to a display without the need for long HDMI cables. Utilizing a proprietary wireless technology, it creates a direct, low-latency link between a transmitter unit connected to a media source (like a laptop, Blu-ray player, or gaming console) and a receiver unit connected to a TV, projector, or soundbar. Its primary application is in residential and commercial settings for simplifying installations where running cables is impractical or undesirable, such as in conference rooms, classrooms, living rooms, or digital signage setups, enabling a clean, wire-free presentation or entertainment experience.
The system is engineered to support full HD 1080p video resolution with multi-channel digital audio, ensuring a high-quality viewing experience. A key feature is its focus on maintaining a stable, responsive connection suitable for interactive content; it boasts low latency performance, which is critical for applications like wireless gaming or mirroring a computer desktop without noticeable lag. The 1100 Plus typically operates in the uncrowded 5 GHz wireless band to avoid interference from common Wi-Fi networks and other 2.4 GHz devices, which enhances reliability and picture stability. Setup is designed for user-friendliness, often involving a simple pairing process between the transmitter and receiver units.
The hardware consists of two compact, standalone units: a transmitter with an HDMI input and a receiver with an HDMI output. Both require power from included adapters. The system may include additional features such as IR pass-through for remote control functionality, allowing users to control the source device from the display location. It is a point-to-point solution, meaning it creates a dedicated wireless bridge independent of the local Wi-Fi network, which avoids burdening the network with high-bandwidth video traffic. The ScreenBeam 1100 Plus provides a practical and robust alternative to cables, offering flexibility in display placement and source connectivity for both consumer and professional AV scenarios.
