hey guys we are back with another hard work next review and today we're looking at the particularly interesting product from power color this is just laying wireless video transmitting system that is targeted to use within your home as a gateway to a wireless entertainment this is a plug-and-play system which makes it very convenient to relocate on different devices and just extremely simple to use it should be available in the market as of now at the retail price of around 170 dollars so not a particularly cheap alternative to a wired system however the unit allows full HD 1080p video transmission and 7.1 channel audio all wirelessly from one tower to another it also supports 3d format at 1080p at 24 hurts and with three gigabit per second data rate blu-ray playback is supported the wireless home digital interface is relatively new on the market and with introduction of more products the price for such devices may perhaps hit a more affordable price range this product is hitting the shelf with all the bells and whistles this consumer technology can offer at the moment so let's check it out it is meant to distribute entertainment throughout your home from any hdmi compatible device onto an external monitor HDTV or a projector for example streaming movies or gaming from one central computer at your home to a monitor in another room the advertised latency is less than one millisecond and then our testing no visible light was present however that depends on the signal strength and the transmission distance and power color states it should still pick up signal up to 25 meters but the units should face a direct line of sight it is a fairly small unit so positioning it should not be of a concern it is also made of plastic which makes it very light and a portable system the included base where towers could be improved as the unit simply is placed on the stand without any clips and it's not at all stable which kind of defeats the purpose the front of each of the towers have two green LEDs indicating power and link between transmitter and the receiver a link status bar would have been more appropriate to indicate the strength of the signal perhaps in different colour or even posing as the units may have extremely poor link but LED would still light up both units have mini USB ports the one on the receiver allows a compatible hid device to be connected such as a wireless mouse or a keyboard and now some manufacturers allow dual devices to be controlled by one wireless receiver but it would have been nice to have a USB splitter to connect to USB devices separately and the USB port on the transmitter should be directly connected to your PC in order to have the link between the hid device and the receiver tower has a built-in infrared receiver in case you intend to use a remote control with these units and the transmitter has a pair button allows to trigger the signal between the units on the other side both have AC power inputs with HDMI out on the receiver and an hdmi in for the transmitter along with an infrared blaster Jack that allows the user remote control and power color includes all the appropriate cables in order to get this product up and running with the following accessories we have the two tower basis the unit's themselves to hdmi cables USB male and female cable infrared cable and to AC power units which feature in the interchangeable plug with an included type c european plug alright let's turn the units on and both LEDs are lit meaning power and Link are established and here it is just linked in practice the unit on the right is a transmitter connected directly into our GPU via HDMI and the source video is shown on the right monitor the receiver on the left is connected to an external monitor and now we switch to the correct input on the monitor and video is streamed without any issues no the flicker on either on the monitors is caused by the camera and not by the product also the native resolution of the monitor on the left is slightly higher than 1080p which means 1080p resolution will be stretched accordingly also as you see there is some coloured deviation between two screens which is caused by different color settings on the monitors and not by the wireless units the two devices are communicating flawlessly when in close proximity to each other but let's see how the wireless transmission stacks up at some distance we place the monitor with the receiver tower about 6 meters away in another room with two walls in between here's an eight gig bluray file playing and we then thought us any lagging or artifacts and it's actually quite impressive that the signal can maintain enough strength to stream such large files and also testing out some gaming we were again impressed by the transmission performance there was no visible lag or video artifacts and the signal maintained is stable connection for a prolonged period of time it was only after we moved the monitor and the receiver further away in the next room now having three walls and distance of around 10 meters that the connection has started to show issues with slight video lag but mainly experiencing lots of artefacts during motion you can see that here during fast-paced gaming or a simple video so overall just linked from power color is an adequate solution for wireless entertainment for your home that works extremely well if the networking towers are positioned in relatively close proximity of each other around six meters and it's an easy plug-and-play unit that supports the standard high-definition resolution and also 3d support and 7.1 channel audio and it also allows USB devices connectivity and remote control and on the other hand the connection is significantly worse than at distances greater than 6 meters and more resistance is added to the transmission in terms of walls and doors the connectivity is just not on par to stream the most basic video playback and requires a relocation of the device but just laying is a step in the right direction for consumer wireless video entertainment systems and it is bound to get a lot of attention from users who want to use it at its optimal performance at fairly close distance otherwise it may be a bit early diving into this technology for video streaming at greater distances and that is it for this one thank you guys for watching and we'll see you next one
