Need to set up a presentation room at work - mgmt wants WiFi Plasma- anybody have experience with it? - JoeM - 10-12-2006
Just got this dropped on me today as I was going home. Mgmt wants a 50" Plasma screen to show Win XP PowerPoint/ video presentations with "no wires" needed to connect their laptops to the screen.
I first suggested HDMI connection with wiring installed away in a mounted trough but they are interested in WiFi or DNLA.
Anybody know if this stuff works reliably? I will be studying up on what is actually available over the next few days.
TIA

Here is a good starting point:

I'll probably be traveling down this road in a few weeks too. We're getting a 40+ inch screen in our conference room.

High-resolution live video feed hardware is going to be expensive. I have a feeling once management sees the price difference between wireless and wired they may change their minds.
But, then again I don't knwo the exact numbers. Should be an interesting comparison to make.

Apparently they aren't concerned about cost - (we'll see when the estimates come in
).Doesn't seem like much out there besides projectors right now. I did find this:

A lot of it is just buzzwords for now. Streaming uncompressed 1920 x 1080 video might just be possible if you find the fastest pre-802.11n hardware on the market. You will need a computer driving the plasma screen because I have not heard of any equipment designed to stream video straight to a screen on the market yet.

In my experience, clients usually say money is no object until they get the first estimate or invoice, and then they want to know where all the money went/is going and how they can cut the cost but still get that cutting edge equipment.
