Latency if we want to show MP4 Videos or HD Karaoke Files?
Full 1080 capability?
Is Line of Sight Mandatory?

Thanks!

I have the Actiontec Screenbeam Pro. This model does not use the dongle that plugs into the computer as my windows 8 computer has Intel WIDI built in.

I have not used it in a show environment but it does not need line of site or an existing network to connect, it creates a local area network of it's own and once setup remembers the settings so connects automatically the next time you use it.
It seems no noticeable latency issues using it in a different room of the house and would say 50ft would not be an issue.

The drawback I have found with it and why I have not used in a live show is, I can't get it to work with multiple displays, that is unless you plug it into a splitter first then run wires from there which defeats the object of it.

In my setup that I tried I had my normal singers screen with the wired connection as it is close to my rig. Then connect the Actiontec to the audience monitor as I call it. What happens is, you get the computer wallpaper showing on the audience monitor but not the extended Hoster singers screen.
If you open the Screen resolution dialog you see three monitors displayed ( picture attached) and if you press the identify button it correctly displays the numbers on each monitor, but only one can display the Hoster screen on top of the wallpaper.

So as using it as a single screen extended it works great, Ok I suppose if you combine the audience monitor and singers monitor as the same display some distance from your computer.

I don't know if the kit type that Bryan has works different.

To add to this post, If you drag the singers screen across instead of double clicking it to make it go full screen, as you drag it to the monitor 2, you can keep dragging it till it shows on monitor 3 but you can only show it on one or the other.
