Wireless Audio and Video Basics
New wireless products liberate digital entertainment from your living room and send it anywhere you choose.
Digital media is a wonderful thing, but it’s created some attachment issues. We store our music library on the laptop, so we feel like we have to lug the thing everywhere to enjoy it. The DVR is recording all our favorite shows, but we need to be glued to the sofa to watch them. It’s a location problem.
Enter wireless technology. With the advent and advances in wireless audio products, you can now access and play your music library from anywhere in the home; wireless video grants even greater freedom, enabling users to watch live and recorded TV from virtually any wireless, Internet-enabled device – anywhere, anytime.
