TO WRAP THINGS UP…

• Wireless HDMI is the future of screen mirroring.

• Schools and offices will benefit most from it, since they deal with the everyday struggles of cable.

• But to succeed, we need wireless HDMI that is….

1. Cross platform

Nerd. Pretty boy.

Why cross platform?

Wireless HDMI has to work with all the people who use their own PCs and tablets, like at a university or office.

You should be able to use it from any computer without converters or pricey

software.

2. Compact

Why compact?

If it doesn’t hide away nicely, then you might as well use bulky cables.

Ideally, wireless HDMI products shouldn’t be mounted on a wall or sit on a table taking

up space.

3. User friendly

Why user friendly?

Wireless technology is kind of complicated from a development point of view. That doesn’t mean it should be hard to use.

To succeed in replacing cables, wireless HDMI has to be easy enough for anyone to use.

These are the quick n dirty things to know about wireless HDMI.
