InFocus' new wireless technology cuts cord for presenters

WILSONVILLE, USA: InFocus Corp., the industry pioneer in digital projection technology, unveiled its new wireless solution that eliminates the need to have wired connections between computers and select InFocus projectors.

Made possible by a partnership with Wisair, a leading provider of single-chip based wireless USB solutions, the InFocus DisplayLink wireless system allows presenters to easily connect to InFocus DisplayLink-enabled projectors and share HD content on the big screen without wires.

Travelling salespeople and lecturers are no longer bound to projectors by cords; the DisplayLink wireless adapters allow for easy connectivity from anywhere in the boardroom or lecture hall. With little initial set-up required, the DisplayLink wireless system is the ultimate in plug-and-project technology.

Simply plug in the DisplayLink wireless adapters and instantly connect with your InFocus projector from distances of up to 30ft. The new technology allows users to share high-quality content and video with their audience at high-bandwidth speeds of 99Mbps net data rate.

A key feature of the InFocus DisplayLink Wireless solution is the ease of setting up the system. InFocus is using pre-paired adapters, meaning that the PC Adapter and projector are already associated with each other upon purchase. Also, upon initial set-up, an onboard driver in the PC adapter speeds up software installation.

The solution provides peer-to-peer high speed connectivity that does not load the WiFi network nor degrades its performance. In addition, the wireless link between the computer and the projector supports the InFocus DisplayLink Manager, enabling users to control the projector from the PC over the wireless link without the need to physically access the projector.

"In working to develop this technology, our major focus was on making the connection between presenter and projector as seamless as possible," said Stephen John, product manager at InFocus. "Before a presentation, the last thing someone wants to hassle with are cords, or possible delay due to A/V equipment not working right. So we made the InFocus DisplayLink wireless simple: a USB plug and a projector is all you need."

The InFocus DisplayLink Wireless solution is currently compatible with the InFocus IN1100 and IN3100 series, and will be available soon on the IN1500, IN5300 and IN5500 series as well as future DisplayLink-enabled projectors.
