NyriusNPCS549 AV Transmitter and Receiver Black Audio/Video Extender – A/V Extender (Micro-USB A, Power, Status, 0-40°C, -10-55°C, 10-80%, 100-240 V)

I bought this to replace the traditional VGA beamer and screen arrangement in our meeting room. The quality had always been poor but with a relocation the cable runs were just too long. The beamer was junked and I decided to go for a smart TV and connect wirelessly. The important feature was that there should be no requirement to install software on a pc or laptop connected to the display. Visitors need to use the system but may not have admin rights (or even want) to install something.This does just plug and play. Quality is excellent. I have it operating over a distance of just 4 metres. We can swap the transmitter from laptop to laptop and it reconnects.A coupe of points to note:The mains power supplies are US plugs with some pretty rubbish adaptors but I used a USB socket from the TV to power the receiver. BE CAREFUL that they can supply enough current. The first one I tried had a limit of 0.5A and although the receiver lit up and seemed to do all the functions it wouldn't sync up. Moving the power lead to a "full-fat" USB did the trick.The transmitter can be powered from a USB port on the laptop with a piggy-back cable.The transmitter has a standard HDMI connector. If you have HP laptops, they use a different connector. You need to get an HP Display Port to HDMI adaptor - they're readily available for a few quid.Works well and looks a bit flash!

Very poo quality. Used twice, now the reciever has given up the ghost. Now find out that no warranty offered either. Yes it's cheaper than the premium model it copies, but overall a waste of money! Avoid!!!

I got this because I needed to connect my QHD monitor wirelessly to my media server PC in the home. My home is not large, but it is a rental; so I needed a solution that had minimal impact on the home itself (i.e. I didn't want to run cables anywhere).The Nyrius Aries Prime (because that is what this model is, despite not being advertised as such on this website) fits these requirements perfectly. Installation was not much more complicated than plugging in a monitor to a PC. Picture quality, audio quality, and no noticeable latency are exactly what I was looking for. (It must be noted, I haven't used it for gaming; I've only used it to stream movies and music.)So why only 3 stars?Firstly, minus a star for the documentation! I needed to understand what was happening with the Nyrius when the PC was awakened from sleep, and what I needed to do; and the enclosed quick start guide didn't cover any of that. Fair enough; it's just a quick start guide. So I downloaded the full user manual from the Nyrius website. Unfortunately, the manual is so inconsistent in its use of terminology that it required some effort to discern the information I was looking for. Also, the sections on OS display and audio settings need revisiting. They use such inconsistent typography for the headings that it's not readily discernable that there are separate sections for display and for audio. Also, they go back to Windows 7, Vista, and XP - and that's fine for those hanging on to old tech - but there's no mention of newer operating systems, even if to reassure the user that no setup is required.Secondly, I bought this item on the Amazon UK website, yet when the item arrived it only had a Canada/US AC power adapter for the receiver! The seller could have been more proactive in any one of a number of ways: Either indicate that in the "what's in the box" section, or add a UK adapter in the package, or sell the UK version (yes, when I looked in the manual it became apparent that there is a UK version). So many options, yet the seller did nothing.So, although there is some good engineering here, the marketing and sales let the side down.

I bought this is September 2014 for £250.I'm a professional cameraman and have built a wireless HD director's monitor cage using this system.The image is really good, with a decent usable range on location through walls and doors, and with no noticeable latency or breakup.There's a useful 1/4 inch thread on the rear of the receiver which allows me to mount it to an monitor cage.I power it from a 20,000 mAh 2A USB battery, which can run the receiver all day.The transmitter runs from USB at 1A using a small USB battery which strap onto the camera in various positions as required.I have a set of three batteries on rotation.I can't fault the kit considering it's design as a domestic system, and it has held up to many months of location work.If you are a professional looking for a cheap wireless system you might considering looking for the Aputure Trans Array which i due out soon.
