Atlona teams with Wisair for wireless USB to HDMI adapter

Wait a second -- isn't wireless USB, um, deceased? Regardless of what pundits and the industry at large have said (via words, actions, or otherwise), Wisair is absolutely refusing to give up the dream. To that end, the firm has teamed with peripheral mainstay Atlona in order to develop and produce a wireless USB to HDMI adapter. Much like the wired AT-HDPiX, the May-bound AT-HDAiR enables users to connect any USB-enabled computer to any HDTV or projector via VGA or HDMI. The difference? This one works sans extra cabling. The range here is 30 feet, though you can only expect footage to stream through at up to 720p (or 1,440 x 1,200). At least the price tag is just $199, which sure beats some of the obviously more capable options with WHDI chips within.

Nice! :)

Why is 720P the same as 1,440 x 1,200? isn't 1,440 x 1,200 a higher resolution than 1080P?

no. 1080p = 1920x1080 = >2,000,000px.

Uhm 1440x1200 is not a higher resolution than 1080p 1920x1080 has more pixels than 1440x120 it's imple math that will show you that 1080p is the higher res.

more capable one for $1499, less capable one $199, though choice

Awesome. I've been wanting something like this for a while, but I didn't want to use one of the vga connectors. Sweet.

Yeah... 720P should be 1366x768, I think...
