Video Review: Warpia’s Wireless A/V Set Works — But Within Short Range

By Doug Aamoth | @daamoth | February 11, 2010 | +

Warpia’s wireless A/V set consists of a USB stick that installs itself as a secondary DisplayPort video card on your computer and transmits video and audio data to a second USB stick that sits inside a dock connected to your TV via HDMI or VGA.

The system uses Ultra-Wideband (UWB) technology to stream up to 720p video across a short range. At $180, the entire getup isn’t exactly cheap and the wireless range leaves a bit to be desired, but it could find a niche in conference rooms or other areas where running cables all over the place isn’t ideal.
