Mine is an earlier model but looks like the 750 model. With my latest windows 10 computers you only need the receiver but older Computer models you would need the transmitter as well.
Downside with it is you can only send one external monitor wirelessly, you cant send to a singers monitor and another at the same time.
For this reason alone I would not use it at my show.
It is fine for home use only sending to a single external monitor.
And also great for sending video from mobile phone and android tablet to TV.
Chromecast do a similar thing but I have no experience with that.
I personally now stick to my 4 Way HDMI splitter as that is the most reliable.

Since writing the above I have now found I can use the wireless Sreenbeam for my furthest away display and still use the HDMI output from my computer to my nearest display, in my case the audience monitor is above me and the nearest, the singers monitor is about 15 ft forward of me and connected via screenbeam which saves having a long hdmi lead trailing to it although of course you still need power to it.
I dont know if something changed with Windows 10 but previously I could not get another external to display correct. Now from the Display settings dialog once you have both the wireless monitor connected as Monitor 2 then plug the HDMI monitor in as Monitor 3 you then have to choose duplicate desktop on 2 & 3 from the dropdown list.
I attach screenshot of settings.
