In my office I want to get a big TV for the meeting room that anyone can come in with any laptop and very simply be able to screen share to.
- Has to be wireless
- Has to be possible from any laptop old / new etc not driver dependant
- Would really prefer to not have to install software
- I would be happy to buy a device / media streamer / something with a USB key you could put in the laptop and just share with
- Have looked around a lot and most things reference video streaming or viewing folders of images, I need to just screen share for PowerPoint or documents etc.
Thanks - the AirTame looks perfect but unfortunately doesn't seem to be out until June and I need a solution now as mentioned I really want to stay away from stuff requiring software installed and drivers etc. Anyone know of an AirTame alternative that's available now? – megaSteve4 – 2014-02-27T10:42:21.767
You can't cheat physics! What you are trying to achieve is very difficult physically: HDMI equals a lot of data. Cable bandwidth is different to current wireless bandwidth and without any compression it's difficult to send so much data over the air. Hence "drivers" - stuff which compresses, buffers etc screen to reduce amount of data do be sent. – Chris – 2014-02-27T12:54:06.523
Dam you physics!!! fair enough - the http://airtame.com/ looks perfect just a shame its not out yet. Thanks for you help - answer accepted and have an upvote for good comms.
