DVDO Air Series Adapters
DVDO Air series adapters are designed to deliver “cable-like reliability” with near-zero lag time, wirelessly, between audio/video equipment and a TV or projector. The company’s Air 2K device delivers up to 1080p/60, and the Air 4K delivers up to 2160p/30 Ultra HD content. Leveraging advanced radar technology, phased-array beam-forming technology automatically scans the room and looks for the best path from the transmitter to the receiver in every frame of video – up to 60 times a second – making the system free from frequency interference. DVDO Air is specifically designed with up to a 3Gb/s data rate and professional-grade technology to save valuable installation time and eliminate call-backs. $229 and $399 MSRP
