ARIES Digital Wireless HDMI Transmitter and Receiver System

Product Rating:

Product Review (submitted on October 29, 2015):

The Nyrius Aries Pro wireless HDMI is such an amazing product that opens up a lot more flexibility and convenience for our digital entertainment experience.

What's in the box:
- Wireless HDMI transmitter
- Wireless HDMI receiver
- 100-240V AC power adapter
- 5-foot HDMI cable with a right-angle (elbow) HDMI adapter
- Mount for the receiver w/Velcro (if you want to attached the receiver to your HDTV)

Video game consoles:

I have our Xbox normally hooked up to a 42" HDTV in the living room, but sometimes we want to connect it to a projector when we have a small party or when my son has sleepover. I have all the necessary adapters and cables already but I would have to move the Xbox close to the projector which is always a hassle. Using the Nyrius wireless HDMI, I don't even have to take out the Xbox from the entertainment center. I can now project the content on the wall which produces the biggest screen as possible in the house. Whether it is video games, movies, or just browsing the internet, you can do it all. My kids can now play Halo, Rayman and their other favorite games. (Note: Games that use the Kinect will not work properly unless you get an extension to place it in front of the screen. Skylanders or Disney's Infinity use a portal that will require you to run back and forth to change characters.)

Laptop:
It is even more convenient using a laptop with an HDMI output. It doesn't need a separate power source because the laptop's own USB slot can supply the HDMI dongle the power it needs.

BluRay player:
Easy as Plug and play.

DSLR camera with HDMI output:
Most cameras have the micro HDMI output. You may need an adapter to regular HDMI and probably a female to female HDMI adapter.

No audio output from a projector?

I got the same problem before as both of my HD projectors doesn't have an audio output. I wanted to hook up the big speakers with a subwoofer but HDMI will not allow you to do that. Initially I solved it with an HDMI to VGA adapter which works fine except it is a low res VGA. Now I got this J-Tech HDMI to HDMI & audio adapter (B00G9FDJNA)to send out HDMI res plus a separate audio output I need to drive my speakers. This only extracts stereo, you may want to look for other products which are available now that has optical output and 5.1 audio.

I even saw a video using the Nyrius Aries Pro flying strapped on an RC chopper broadcasting a live aerial HD video to a monitor.

This is just an awesome product. I still remember when just an HDMI cable will set you back 50 bucks a pop. Now, you get the convenience of wireless transmission.
