HDMI Wireless Extender

As an in home solution, this works ok, but it can run into interference with your (or your neighbor's) 2.4ghz wifi. There's some lag, and there are other solutions if a wire is an option. It would work well for a projector or something where wiring may be inconvenient or costly.As a solution in the field, the lag is problematic and the video quality isn't sufficient if you're recording, and it's only barely good enough as a monitor. Accsoon CineEye is comparable in price, battery powered, and offers much better quality (1080p 60fps). It's a one way transmitter to your Android or iOS device, but it's a better solution for remote viewing of a camera. This is a bit different, as it's more of a holistic end to end HDMI replacement.If you can run a wire, a native HDMI or HDMI over ethernet is better. Lower lag, no wifi hassles, and ultimate reliability.If you only need to monitor a camera, there are higher quality options that are more suited for that purpose.If you cannot run a wire (or if it's an an extreme cost), this is a good choice.

The Sabrent HDMI Wireless Extender (DA-HDWE) appears to be targeted at DSLR or prosumer camcorder users (like the XA50) who want an off-camera monitor option. For what it's worth, I used the DA-HDWE that way on my Nikon FX-frame DSLR. It worked fine. Then came the Canon XA50. Also, fine. The thing is that I already had grown accustomed to either using a 7" on-rig setup, or a 32" IPS monitor on a pole... both wired. The subtraction of a cable is nice, but what else could this thing do?So, it's hard to say what exactly this device does, but it does not appear to handle EDID sending, HDCP, or ARC. I didn't try it, but I'd also hazard a guess that the this also doesn't support Ethernet over HDMI. All of this, of course, makes sense because of the Rx/Tx nature of the dongles. The lack of HDCP capability is a bummer, as one of the things I tried out was using the extender with a UST projector. You see the UST projector lives at the front of the room, while the Onkyo receiver/upscaler lives at the back. With the receiver sending outputted video to the Main and Aux HDMI outputs, I put the Sabrent on the Aux. The receiver went to the UST projector, and everything except HDCP content worked fine. I didn't detect any lipsync lag, but did notice some slow frames here and there (more on this in a minute). If you need to strip off the HDCP, the Internet will be more than happy to tell you how to do that.Ultimately, the final destination for this setup is a retail establishment. There's a small NVR mounted high in a mini rack (8U). That also has the rack-mount switch, PoE switch, router, and battery backup. The equipment is mounted high to keep it out of harm's way, but it's also to make it less obvious where the NVR is. The NVR is for the several PoE IP cameras used for surveillance. The extender, along with a Bluetooth keyboard and mouse, allow for the NVR be operated without an obvious PC or NAS.The one hiccup I had was with my 2.4 Ghz wifi. I found that the default channel(s) for my 2.4Ghz wifi must have been partially or completely overlapping the Sabrent. I pushed my AP channel to 10, and everything was fine. It would definitely be better if the dongle did a survey, and picked an open frequency (which the many APs will do at setup).Aside from that setup snafu, the Sabrent DA-HDWE is a versatile and easy-to-use peripheral. Bi-directional HDMI 2.0 with HDCP would be great, but there are about a hundred uses for this as-is. Recommended.

With a media device in one room and a tv that it is attached to, you can now easily split that HDMI signal (with a separate device) and beam the signal across the home or office (or, in my case, the home office!) and share it.No need to drill holes, pull cables, lose patience!I am very impressed with this. The range and quality were most impressive. Set up could not have been easier. A Fantastic device!

Works great for broadcasting HDMI. I tested this out by transmitting from the desktop PC to a TV on the other side of our living room. Overall the image quality was very good. If you have a high end TV and know what to look for you'll be able to spot some quality loss and interference but for your average day to day use it works great. I also tried using the device to play computer games on my TV with similar results as far as quality was concerned. There was however a significant input delay that made playing games more annoying than fun.

You get everything you need and set-up is an easy as setting up a DVD player.I used it in a room which has too many cords running. Laptop-->TV. It's up in a big room attached to another room, so I pushed the distance to see if the 50-foot limit was true. It is.Don't expect to use this in areas which are larger. Churches and businesses can ignore this.-Brockeim

My primary interest in this system is for video production, with the ability to set up a monitor without wires. It comes with enough hardware for a variety of configurations, which is a good strategy given that this is a product that could be used in many ways. The signal strength seems okay, though it can lag in a room with a lot of interference. For typical use, I think it should perform very well. I will update the review if I run into situations that cause it to lose signal. The main components are bulky, which is primarily the result of the rugged housing. Sabrent designs their parts to last.While not the most streamlined system, this is a good way to send HDMI at 1080p wirelessly from any device.

Pretty easy to set up, and works great for situations where running an HDMI cable would be cumbersome or difficult. 5V power also means you could set this up easily in the field running off of portable battery packs if you needed for a festival or other event.

I wanted to use this with my laptop but the dongle would be susceptible to damage along with the laptop connector. Could use a ahort hdmi cable between the laptop and the dongle, but that's a bit awkward. Would be very suitable for a desktop to tv connection if both are in the same room.The range is listed at 50 feet which is great for line of sight, but walls quickly attenuate the signal.Setup is easy, just plug and play. Place the receiver next to your TV, connect the hdmi and power cables and it's ready to go. Would be perfect for a DVD player. Could put the DVD player in a convenient location and broadcast to your TV.These days though, screen sharing can be done via your wifi network. That's the way I generally do screen sharing.The unit is a good solution for line of sight in situations where having the dongle hanging off of the hdmi connector is not a problem. A little expensive though.All in all, I would recommend it as long as the limitations are understood.

We have a projector that we like to use outside from time to time, and I was really needing something to be able to transmit our indoor TV screen (or laptop) to it. This Sabrent HDMI Wireless Extender works decently, with a couple of caveats.First off, setup was really easy. This is really simple to get going and is a "plug and play" setup.Transmitting from our TV to the projector has had good results overall. There were times when we couldn't figure out why it would blip out, until we realized there was some interference with another device. 2.4 Gz devices can screw the transmission up, unfortunately.The only other problem we encountered is that this is most definitely NOT long range. 50 ft is definitely the max, and I don't think we can actually get that out of it without issues starting to arise. For what we're using it for and the distance we need, it's usually not a problem, but if you're needing more wiggle room than that, you'll need to keep looking.This transmits up to 1080i, and once everything is up and running, it really does replicate your screen sharply and clearly without any noticeable latency.Overall, we're pretty happy with it, but just note that it DOES have some limitations that can affect its performance.

I find this to be a good wireless solution where running a HDMI cable would be difficult or impossible.There are a lot of components and AC power will be needed at both ends. If you need to transmit IR one direction it can also handle that too. Then you have a lot of loose cables to contend with.However depending on your operating environment and possible other sources of interference to the wireless signal it goes seem to transmit the rated 50' with ease. No apparent lag and a good picture. I wouldn't recommend it for portable rigs unless you can contend with the cabling. If you have a projector or other device needing to receive a remote HDMI signal this is certainly a good option. 4 solid stars.

Ah this is a relief, I have a projector in my living room and boy has this freed me up to arrange things more like I'd like.

First, a big "thank you" to Sabrent's customer support. This device arrived without the power supply for the transmitter. I contacted Sabrent, and they quickly sent out the missing piece. I really appreciate it!I was looking for a way to send my laptop and iPad screens to a large monitor in a room where I teach.In many ways, this product is the ideal solution: the Sabrent receiver can be plugged into the monitor and just stay put. The receiver is a bit bulky, but the transmitter is very lightweight (though it does need to be near a power supply to run). This means that I can easily disconnect the transmitter from one device (my laptop) to another device (say, a student's laptop) without needing to run an HDMI cable across the room.And I have to say: it works great! The signal quality is great, with little to no noticeable lag between a laptop and the display monitor. And, unlike Bluetooth or Wi-Fi connections, there is no setup or pairing that needs to take place. Plug in the receiver. Plug in the transmitter. Any device with an HDMI-out can be sent wirelessly to any device with an HDMI-in.Well...almost any device. I tested this with a MacBook Pro and a Lenovo Windows 10 machine. In both cases, this worked flawlessly. I was even able to use my Lenovo's USB port as the power supply for the transmitter (I'm not sure this is a recommended way to get power...your mileage may vary). I was able to treat the signal as either a mirror of my laptop screen, or as a second monitor. And I can't say this enough: it just works great!But...I thought I'd try the transmitter by connecting it to my iPad. The results were terrible. I used Apple's lightning-to-HDMI converter, connecting it to the Sabrent transmitter. Eventually, the signal made it to my monitor, but then there was so much lag that it was completely impractical to continue using. Actions on the iPad screen took 5-10 seconds to eventually display on my monitor. I'm not sure what the problem is. Perhaps the high-density of the iPad screen is too much for the transmitter to handle?Whatever the issue is, just know that this will work fine if you are trying to connect to a laptop, but not so well for iPads.

I really wanted to like this product. It's incredibly versatile, and suitable for use with a DSLR, a laptop, or an AV receiver in a different location. (The package even includes an IR adapter for the latter scenario).Setup couldn't be easier. The receiver requires an AC power source, and plugs into an HDMI port on your TV or monitor. The transmitter uses a micro-USB port for power, and I found that a USB 3.0 port provides enough power, although I would recommend a powerbank or AC power supply for consistency. Setting everything up is a matter of minutes.Once the receiver found the signal, my laptop screen was perfectly replicated on the TV at 1080p. Unfortunately, the signal constantly froze, sometimes for as long as a minute. If I moved the laptop more than fifteen feet from the transmitter, I lost the signal entirely (even while maintaining line of sight).Everything else about the device is great: build quality, features, accessories - but none of that matters if it doesn't work consistently, and - despite a high level of technical expertise - I could not get the wireless extender to do that.

The most important things I want to say about this Sabrent HDMI Wireless Extender, is that it is really Plug and Play, compatible with most operating systems, and it does true direct video casting. I ordered it to use it with my camera, but once I tried it and learn its capabilities, I'm using it mostly to stream videos, movies, and gaming around my home. It is versatile, because it's compatible with nearly any device with a HDMI output port. And there is no delay in response when using a computer connected to it. Not even when gaming.I like that is very lightweight, so I can take it with me when I have to use my laptop in a presentation. So, I can set my laptop securely on a table out of the way, and without any cables connecting it to a larger screen. Just this wireless transmitter. It gives me peace of mind, because more than once I'd nearly drop my computer (and make a mess with an external monitor), because I forgot that it was connected to a larger screen, and try to pick it up.Anyway, this is the type of gadget that is also a good investment, because one will be using it often, not just for a single purpose. The only things I noticed, it's a little bit of image degradation, but it's really small compared to the benefit of having the display and sound completely wireless. Also, the receiver gets hot when working longer than half an hour, and circuits and heat don't mix well, eventually shorting the lifetime of any device. I solved this by pointing a small USB-powered fan into it. Most monitors have USB ports this days, to power the fan, and that is enough to keep the receiver cool.

I've always wanted a wireless off camera monitor for director/crew use on our freelance camera operator gigs, or for when mounting the camera somewhere difficult to see like the side of a car. A few years ago, a solution like this would have cost upwards of $2k, but now thanks to products like this one we can do it on a shoestring budget!I attached the transmitter to a USB battery bank and used gaffer's tape to attach to my camera cage with my Sony A7S inside. On the other side, I took a flash bracket and mounted a 7" monitor, and once again used gaffer's tape to sandwich the receiver to another battery supply and secure to the handle of the bracket. Note that the receiver isn't designed to run off USB power like the transmitter is (why, I don't know), so I had to use a modified cable to make one end a USB - it is still only 5v, but I think it requires at least 2amps so it is pickier about what battery bank will work with it. My smaller battery supply didn't crank out enough power so it won't start (blue light would just blink), but a larger battery supply that I have did just fine.Once the two were wired up, as a proof of concept I fired up the camera and had a live feed in full 1080p on the remote monitor, which worked fine as long as I was in the same room as the camera. Pretty useful! If you look at the included image, you can see both units on the floor working, but I'll need some shorter cables to clean it up in the future (didn't have any short cable available for this test, so it looks messy).The only thing I wish Sabrent had done better is include a mount for the transmitter to attach to the camera hotshoe. They claim it comes with one in the box, and even show a picture of it mounted to a camera but it does NOT! It comes with a bracket that uses a thumb screw to attach to something, but it will only fit into a hotshoe if you have an adapter for your shoe mount that will accept a screw through it. The thumb screw and shoe mount that they show in the picture are not included in the box, which disappointed me. No matter, I'd still need a battery supply for this so I had to attach it to a cage anyway. But I felt like that picture was misleading in the product's image.I also wish that they had made the receiver work off a standard USB plug as well so I wouldn't have to use a modified cable for it. It worked pretty well so I can't complain too much at the end of the day.Although I was interested primarily in off camera monitoring, I discovered this device is very well suited to send your laptop's display to a TV. With the receiver on your TV wired up, the transmitter actually works like a dongle right out of the laptop's hdmi port, and just needs a short run of USB for power from the closest port. This is the cleanest use of this product that I can imagine, and it works well for that. Pretty amazing what it can do for the price these days!

The Sabrent Wireless HDMI Extender is a great product.... so easy to set up & it works so good!This Wireless extender is plug n play.... just Plug the transmitter into the HDMI source.... the plug in the receiver to your monitor or projector or TV or.......Transmission image quality is great, I see no difference between the source & the disply images... perfect replication :)No time lag either.... it works exactly as you want it to.I could not determine transmission distance limit as the space I have to work with is limited to relatively short distances... no more than 20 ft.This wireless transmission set up is just as you would want it to be.... easy to set up & use & it works like a charm...Build quality is excellent & this set up comes with evereything you need & then some... like mounting hardware & 2 infrared pass-through cables... Sabrent went the extra mile to do it right.It just dosen't gdet any better than this - My garage studio set up has numerous cables/wires going every which way,this will help to clean this up a little by getting at least one of those HDMI cables off the floor... I will likely end up getting another.I am very happy with the performance of this Sabrent wirless HDMI Extender5 Stars + Quality product recommendation

I do quite a few projects in the garage and I have been looking for a way to reduce the wires across the floor for my garage computer. The wireless extender allowed me to tuck the PC away in a safe, dust-free spot while allowing me to move the monitor cart around the garage with only the need for power. Even with a wireless keyboard and mouse, there was no noticeable input lag and controls felt smooth.My only complaint is that if the receiver loses signal, including if I just turn off the PC it will not let the monitor auto shut off as it continuously displays that the connection has been lost. Not a big deal but I need to remember to hit the button.

This wireless extender worked absolutely perfectly for our use in videocasting for our website and YouTube channel.++ Worked without a single issue with a Canon 7D and Canon 1DX cameras++ Receiver hooked to a 32" TV to allow for direct monitoring of videocast as recorded++ Painless and instant marriage between transmitter and receiver.++ Worked well with HDMI to mini-HDMI cable on our DSLR cameras https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00608WXGA/No issues whatsoever and worked as designed. Couldn't be more pleased with the function and capability. Easy Five Star recommendation!

I had some issues connecting it correctly to our network, as I always do with extenders. You would think it learn shortcuts by now, since I've tried several extenders. The last extender worked very well, but now that there is nice weather, I want to be able to use my entire yard to stream music once Wi-Fi. I put this in the kitchen - closest to the door. It reaches the majority of the yard, so I'm a happy camper.

This thing is incredible!All you have to do is plug the receiver into your TV, then plug to transmitter into your laptop/game console/whatever. And THAT'S IT.It streams at an incredibly high quality. Perfect for watching movies or casting your screen. It honestly couldn't be easier, and I couldn't be more impressed with the quality.Setup: Took me under 5 minutes. Ridiculously easy. No installation. No nothing.Performance: Top notch. Couldn't be happier.Downsides: The only tiny tiny thing is it mentions having two power sources, but the transmitter just needs USB, so it's don't be confused! No need to for an actual plug.

delivery was on time. needed short cable to use for battery power supplies for on the go. Worked greaat

As expected.

Love these!

I purchased this device to use on a river boat trip in Europe. It worked flawlessly, charging all of my electronics at the same time. It was especially suited for the task since the room had only one available 240 volt outlet for guest use.
