- Run HDMI wires through the walls to the other TV: On the plus side, there is no risk in the quality of the video signal. On the negative side, during installation the wires can break. Also, wire installation is expensive, time consuming, and messy, Even worse, HDMI technology specs change over time, so if you install HDMI version 1.3 today, and tomorrow you need HDMI v1.4 or higher to support 3D and 4K resolution, you will have to re-run cables.
- Run HDMI over existing coaxial cables to the other TVs: Coaxial cables or RG6 are the cables that connect to TVs and show cable channels . Cables 2 Go (C2G) makes such a device. It provides a range of signal close to 300 feet, and can support multiple TVs. So if you want to buy one Apple TV and take advantage of it in any room you can buy additional receivers for each TV. The cost was about the same as IOGear, and since it is not a wireless solution, it has a higher likelihood of working reliably. Also, if HDMI specs change on you, the coaxial cables should be future proof. You just have to wait for C2G to come out with devices that support the higher HDMI version. On the negative side, you have to make sure you have coaxial cables running to each room. Also, since my coaxial cables will be used for cable TV, I wasn't sure if the C2G solution would prevent my cable TV from working on the same lines.
- Use another wireless over HDMI solution like Peerless and Nyrius: Peerless is more expensive than IOGear, and I haven’t tried it. Nyrius has a lag time: the audio and video take time to reach the other TV. This is undesirable if playing video games, or if the two TVs can be heard at the same time resulting in an annoying echo sound.
Now getting to the actual review of this product! I’ll review the setup & use, audio/video quality, wireless range, and compatibility with devices.
SETUP & USE
The box comes with a transmitter, receiver, IR blaster, and remote control. Installation is easier than setting up a wireless internet. I plugged in the transmitter HDMI output into the main TV, and my devices into the HDMI input slots. This model supports a maximum of two HDMI devices. I pointed the IR blaster to my cable box (make sure it points to the front of the cable box). I then plugged in the HDMI receiver to the TV in the kitchen. The kitchen TV is at a distance of 45 feet with two walls in the way. I also have a wireless internet running in the rooms. Hopefully the wireless internet and walls do not mess up the device signal!
AUDIO/VIDEO QUALITY
I powered on the devices, walked to the kitchen, and selected the video input for cable TV. I played Justin Timberlake’s video Mirrors. The audio reception was crisp and clear, and the video to my surprise was sharp and flawless! There were no artifacts, or any other issues pointed out by other reviewers. There was no discernable lag in signal at this range.
As much as Justin is a talented singer, I am no boy-band fan. Still in the kitchen, with the cable box in the other room, I sprang for the remote control and decided to change the channel. The IR blaster came to the rescue, seamlessly letting me view the channel guide, and change the channels. Still not satisfied with the channel lineup, I decided to switch sources to the Apple TV. You can change the device by using IOGear’s provided remote control or clicking the source selector on the receiver. Apple TV worked, and in no time I was listening to my music. Finally, an easy to use tech gadget that guests, and my wife will be able to use with little to no training.
WIRELESS RANGE
IOGear advertises a distance of 100 feet. I have no doubt that it can achieve this distance, although I wonder if additional walls and additional wireless signals in the house would reduce this range. As I had mentioned, I ran my setup at a range of 45 feet. I also tried a range of 12 feet to see if there would be difference in quality. I noted no difference in quality.
COMPATIBILITY WITH DEVICES
I was happy to note that the device transmits Apple TV, cable signals, and computer output with no problem. Having said that, the transmitter and receiver only support HDMI, so if you have another type of connection like composite video found on Nintendo Wii, then you are out of luck (you have to buy additional electronics to make it work). Also, this model only supports 2 HDMI inputs. You can get around this very easily. A little trick that I tried was plugging in 5 HDMI devices and my Nintendo Wii into an Audio/Video receiver (e.g. Denon AVR-2311CI), and then sent the output of this receiver to the IOGear transmitter. The Audio/Video receiver can upconvert a non-HDMI signal to HDMI. Again, the devices worked, and I no longer had to change the source using IOGear’s provided remote control.I did notice one issue, I have an old computer monitor with a VGA port this device has an HDMI to VGA adapter on it. I was not able to send video using this IOGear device. In the end, So, I can't blame IOGear for this. I would recommend giving this product a try.
Completely happy with my IOGear purchase, I now wondered about upgrading this setup in the future. Specifically, what would happen if I wanted now to run the HDMI signals to a third room? It turns out IOGear does not sell multiple receivers for this model. A call to IOGear’s technical support was helpful in alleviating these concerns. IOGear has a discontinued model which is much more expensive than this model which allows purchasing of additional receivers. Alternatively, you can buy an additional transmitter and receiver, and just make sure the two transmitters are at least 6 feet apart from each other.
My receiver is connected to a TiVo Premiere box and is fed (via a cable card) from Comcast/Xfinity cable service. The receiver is on the same floor but in a separate room. So the signal (as the photon flies) has to go about 35 feet, through an interior wall and a laden bookcase. The connection is solid at that distance. I have noticed no picture degradation, and no cut-outs when a person walks though the signal path. It did take a bit of fiddling to position the box so that the receiver wasn't blocked by the TV it's feeding.
There seems to be just enough transmission delay to give the impression of an echo if you have a sender-side TV and a receiver-side TV in the same room. It's subtle, but you should test this in your own environment.
The transmission of IR remote-control commands from the receiver side to the sender side worked well, once I got it set up. I had to fiddle around to find the right frequency band for the TiVo control, and it took a good deal of fiddling to position the little IR "blaster" that came with the kit. It's a thin little wire with three tiny IR transmitters spaced along the wire. I guess the idea is that you can put one of these in front of each device you want to control. But I'm only controlling one device and the extra outputs made it hard to position the wire so that it wasn't in the way and wasn't too much of an eyesore. The IR is weak, so you have to find the exact sweet spot that works with your device, then stick the transmitter right there. I would prefer a more powerful IR output that isn't so fiddly to place.
The receiver and the transmitter both turn themselves off when not in use. As long as the receiver-side TV is turned on, the thing seems to stay awake, but you may have to visit both rooms to fire things up.
The biggest problem I had is that the system would transmit all the HD channels I get, but would refuse to transmit the non-HD channels. So on Comcast, for example, I could see HBOHD, but not HBO2 or some of the lower-res local channels. IOGear support doesn't work on weekends, but an Email got a response on Monday. It seems that my TiVo box was sending all the lower-res video out as 480i format, and if you read the product description carefully, this IOGear device doesn't support that format. That strikes me as a bizarre omission, but for me there was a work-around: you can tell a TiVo Premiere box to convert the lower-res signals into 1080p or 1080i before it sends out the video. With that setting change it worked. But potential customers should make sure that they will never have to transmit 480i content.
Overall, this device does what I wanted and does it well. Setup and fixing this settings bug was harder than it should have been, but once that's over, it seems to be solid, and the best device for my setup. Your mileage may vary, especially if you have a more challenging signal path in terms of distance and obstacles.
Top reviews from other countries
I have now used this IOGEAR Wireless 4K model every day for two weeks now and it has, up to now, provided flawless wireless connection of 4K 3840 X 2160 signal from my Shaw cable box to my Epson projector.
UPDATE. Jan.17 2024
Initially the signal regularly reconnected once per session, and then was stable.
I tried never turning off power and now for almost one year and a half I have had absolutely NO loss of signal or reconnection while using for about three hours every day.
Now I am very satisfied with the performance of this unit.
Nachtrag (07.09.2021): Ich habe gestern testweise "Die irre Heldentour des Billy Lynn", den ersten veröffentlichten Film mit einer Bildwiederholungsrate von 60 fps (frames per second) abgespielt. Entgegen der Herstellerspezifikation (max. 30 fps) wurde das Bild einwandfrei übertragen. Das Gerät übertrifft in der Datenübertragungskapazität also deutlich die Erwartungen und Herstellerangaben.
Weiterer Nachtrag (20.10.2021): Beim Abspielen des gesamten Films "Billy Lynn" trat für etwa 10 Sekunden ein Aussetzer auf (Black Screen). Möglicherweise konnte hier die Datenrate im Transfer nicht bewältigt werden.
A must buy for those want to hide there devices in a cabinet.
