ARIES PRIME

I bought this wireless device for my parents to use with their new laptop. But before I took it to them, I tested it just to see how well it would work in my home in case I want one later. It did a very good job. My desktop PC that I connected the transmitter to is in one of the front bedrooms and the PC sits on a completely open spaced upper shelve (PC sits above my monitor) and the PC is also positioned in that room in such a way that if you stood in line of sight with it you would just barely be able to see out the bedroom door (at a sharp angle), down the very short hallway and into the open living room area where the TV is located just around the corner wall. So even tho the PC is sort of or barely in line of sight with the living room, the PC and TV itself is not in direct line of sight from each other. And I would say the approx. measurement distance between the two is about 25 feet or so. And the device was able to transmit the signal to that TV. I could tell though that I was stretching the signal very close to its limits, because when I would move the mouse around fast on the screen, the video would start getting choppy some. And if I placed the receiver very far at all inside the TV cabinet (which is an open front cabinet) then the signal would start getting very touchy, going in and out completely. So I figured if I bought one for me later then I would just place the receiver on the outside of the TV cabinet on the side of the hallway. And I think it would work out just fine. If I remember correctly I thought I remember seeing that the transmitted signal displayed a lower resolution tho, That far away I don't think it was transmitting full 1080p. But for the distance I had it and the fact that it wasn't directly in line of sight, I'd say it did pretty good. And to me the picture still look pretty good on the TV. It worked great on my parents setup because their laptop and big screen TV are used about 8 to 10 feet away from each other, so of course the signal was excellent. And I didn't experience any video lag on either my parents setup nor on my setup at home. So thats good. There was a point at my parents tho that for some reason the sound wasn't being transmitted to their TV. But after I investigated further it turn out to be an audio driver issue off their PC, which I fixed by re-installing their Intel Graphics HD audio driver from their PC manufacture. So overall I am very pleased with it and may later get one for myself.

We installed a TV, in our conference room, to replace the ceiling projector. We also wanted to replace the cables with a wireless solution. I chose the Nyrius unit because it's a simple plug and play solution that does not require any software drivers. Setup is easy. The transmitter and receiver already come paired. There is a procedure to pair the units, if needed. The receiving unit is small enough that I Velcro'ed it to the back of the TV. I installed the power cable and ran the included HDMI cable from the unit to the TV's HDMI1 input. The transmitter plugs into the laptops HDMI port. There is an included 1' USB-A cord that plugs into an open USB port on the laptop to provide power to the receiver. My laptop only has 1 USB-A port. I found that the HDMI port and the only USB-A port were to close together. The kit does include a 90 degree HDMI adapter which angles the receiver and allows me to use the USB port that would normally be obstructed. After plugging in the receiver the TV displayed the laptop screen image within 5-8 secs at 1080p. There is no video or audio lag. We played videos and the video/audio were synced perfectly. This unit is rated for max distance of 30' which is the max distance of our conference room. No issues, even at the farthest point. I would recommend this unit. Good purchase.

I tested this product at home upon it's arrival before going out on a business trip. Setup was simple. Just plug the USB transmitter into your laptop and the receiver into your HDMI TV port, and you are all set.It takes a few seconds to sync up and then it begins to work. I tested the range from my home theater room to the other end of my basement (about 70 feet) and noted that it worked just fine. The picture is perfectly clear and the sound was great. I then took this system on the road with me on an overseas business trip. Again, I was impressed. I previously used to carry a 25 foot HDMI cable with me. Now I don't have to any more. This system is portable, light weight, and dual voltage, I also tested this product with my IPad (with an additional HDMI accessory). It works fine but you will need external power. This means you need to use the external AC adapter. So if you want to sit on your bed in your hotel room and be able to watch movies on your TV, you will have to plug the adapter in somewhere which is a hassle. Also, you will have to probably adjust the screen settings to be able to view a full screen image . Not an issue with my laptop. For power, when using my laptop, you can use power from a USB port. Back in my home theater room, I normally hard wire my laptop to my Yamaha receiver.I listen to and watch cathedral pipe organ videos a lot from You Tube. I noticed that the low frequency bass is a little weak as compared to using a hard wire arrangement. I will continue using an HDMI cable in my HT room. So, the bottom line, I gave a score of 4 out of 5 for this product.

I have bought the product hoping it will allow me to send video signal without the wires. I really was excited to read about its specs and could not wait to get it to work. Unfortunately, the unit did not live up to the expectations. This is my reasons for giving it a rating of 1. I strongly urge manufacturer to address these points if they are to continue to sell the product. 1. The video mysteriously cuts off whenever anyone in proximity opens their Mac and/or tries to use internet. It seems like Wi-Fi interferes with operation of this adapter, causing frequent disconnects lasting from 20 seconds to minutes anytime you or your neighbor down the street tries to use W-Fi. 2. You need to power the adapter by having a mini-USB to USB cable plugged into your MAC and then into the HDMI wireless adapter. This presents a challenge, since the HDMP adapter is very large and blocks USB port near HDMI port on Mac, meaning that I have a USB cable running from left side of my MAC to the right side where HDMI adapter is plugged in. Makes the computer very bulky 3. HDMI adapter does not fit snuggly into MAC HDMI port, or even PC HDMI port, and is easy to displace with a slightest of movement. This will instantly disconnect the video and will take 30 seconds to reconnect 4. We have noticed a tendency for HDMI adapter to start disconnecting more frequently after it has been in use for more than 3 hours. 5. It does not look like it auto-negotiates the Wi-Fi channels, or at least does not do it often enough. Despite numerous disconnects, it continues to try to connect on channel 11 and channel 4. ALWAYS. 6. At a range of 10 feet you have strange snow frequently appear on the screen from time to time, making it unusable for watching movies 7. The unit came without a USB to mini-USB cable, and one of the rubber legs on the receiver station was detached. 8. Is it certified for use in U.S? It sure seems to be affected by any sort of powered device nearby, making me think it is causing a lot of interference as well I would expect this issue to be absent in the devices with FCC certification. 9. HDMI receiver station is made out of cheap plastic, and is half empty inside. HDMI station is too light and ends up half dangling from HDMI cables from TV making it look very unappealing. Why have a big and half empty box if it cannot be secured on the countertop? Either make it a small dongle or make it heavy enough to sit normally on the table! 10. Sometimes unit would just go into standby mode in a middle of watching a movie, disconnecting the video and we would need to walk to TV, turn off and turn the unit back on. What is the point of wireless video if we are forced to stand up from the couch and walk to the TV every 20 minutes? We bought it because it was the cheapest option on the market, and after a month of fiddling with it, trying to get it to work, we are forced to look for a different adapter. Cannot recommend it unless company can come up with the way to address the issues listed. Also, very concerned with the emission levels and whether they fall within FCC accepted ranges. Hoping company will reply regarding this issues in more than standard “thank you for your feedback”.

Bought this to get rid of the laptop-in-front-of-the-TV setup we had for sending movies to the big screen. It works great, but it was a trial to get it to that point (though the fix was simple -- hopefully this review will help others avoid this particular issue.) When I first plugged everything in, I was very frustrated -- as others mentioned, there's pretty much zero documentation with it, just a basic picto-gram showing which piece plugs in where and where the cables go. (Small dongle into the laptop/sender, square box receiver into the TV.) When this yielded no results (TV screen staying dark, no indication of connection made), we looked online for the manual. This yielded no helpful information. After about 15 minutes of futzing around, plugging/unplugging and powering on-off and so on, I realized I had assumed that any HDMI cable would work. (Remember, we had a laptop setup we were already using via HDMI cable, so I'd just plugged the receiver into the TV using that same HDMI cable I already had.) As a last ditch option, I replaced that HDMI cable with the one that was shipped with the unit, thinking "Well, it shouldn't make any difference, but just in case..." Well, apparently it made ALL the difference in the world. As soon as that cable was in place, the picture popped up, the sound was there, and everything was perfect. Didn't have to change anything on the computer, etc. Had we used their cable initially, setup would have been less than 60 seconds. While I'm certain that the cable won't solve issues for everyone, it certainly solved it for me. As for the quality of picture and sound using the device, I have no complaints -- sounds just as great and picture quality is as good as when I was hard-connected to the laptop directly. The sending laptop is about 30 feet away across an open room (some furniture in the way, but no walls), and it has no trouble.

I was building a DIY Home Theater in my media room. Since I had a decent media room with no ambient light, I figured I will try to use a simple 1080p projector and a Yamaha Receiver and some Polk speakers I got on discount. Everything went well until I had a figure out a way to get my HDMI cable from the receiver to the projector. A simple Amazon search revealed Nyrius Aries Wireless HDMI Transmitter. The setup was a breeze. I was very happy with it! And for the first few days I enjoyed my home theater. But within a week I started to notice something funky about my image. While this is truly HD quality for most cases, I started to notice that areas where the image movement was not high, like say in the background, or in an actor's shirt, I started to get a grainy image. To Nyrius' defense, I pointed this out to many of my friends who watched the movie with me and they couldnt tell the difference... but I could. So I started to research this. It turns out that the whole issue was with how Nyrius does its image compression. It does not! While this is good, to be able to not have latency, Nyrius algorithms simply transmit more image (higher resolution) on parts of the screen that are most active and then less image on parts that are not. As a result, the parts of the image that dont more get grainy and noisy. To double check this theory, I ran a big HDMI cable to my receiver and lo and behold, the image was crystal clear. So while I wanted this to work so badly, I am having to pack it up and send it back today.... I am just going to find a way to run a the high speed HDMI cable in the wall and get the image back to where I like it. Oh another point! My screen size is about 112" which is much larger than most people would have it... so this might actually work very well for you...

This set was exactly what I wanted to add to a second screen system I have at my living room. Among the options I had, i.e. running a second HDMI cable through the walls from my TV room to my living room's ceilling where the projector is installed , Nyrius Prime Wireless HDMI set was a solution to the hassle of moving the projector from ceilling (which has only one hdmi input) every time I wanted to make a presentation or a vacation's picture slide show to the extended family on weekends from my laptop. Nyrius is like an easygoing one, by meaning it is so easy to install and use, just out of the box. It is really a plug and play device, exactly if I were installing a new driver for a printer on my computer. Once the driver was installed, it took less than 15 seconds for the transmitter and the receiver on the projector to pair. The instructions included on the set I received, are limited to a flyer, like a quick start guide, which usually come with electronics, basically a few text and a sequence of drawing's explanation, that missed that you MUST connect the provided USB power cord to the pen drive as to have it operational. Besides that, it has been working very well for two weeks now , with no image interruptions when I move the laptop within the range of 30ft of the receiver to capture the signal. It does what it is designed for ,which is a major accomplishment considering the fact that it performs perfectly well for the price. Delivered ahead of schedule, it Solved my problem for a reasonable price , in just a few minutes. I would tend to recommend it to my friends and definelly would buy again.

First and foremost, this is a great product if your setup is compatible. The manufacturer was careful to not say "works with any HDMI screen" and with good reason: with certain devices, the handshake won't complete, even if you fiddle around with firmware, drivers, cables, and resolutions. I have two of these devices at my company. The first one worked like a charm because it liked the TV. The second resulted in close to four weeks of wasted time, trying to get it to work. I reckon it would work if we used a signal modulator to convert to analog but Nyrius does not recommend this so probably not worth it. I do find that the devices do run rather hot so maybe not recommended for extended use. Pairing is easy and, in theory, it should work out of the box.. But be warned that it my not, even if you have an expensive TV. Technical support does not offer a phone option so you have to wait up to 48 hours to get a response via email. I did not try live chat and probably should have. That said, the support staff is friendly and professional soon there's that. In our scenario, we got wireless acknowledgement and the "data retrieving" message but eventually it would give up and say "no signal". After lots of back and forth, repeating the steps that I already went through, it was confirmed that it's a handshake issue. What's disappointing is that you would think there would be a firmware upgrade or something to address this known issue but nothing is available. I'm going to try a USB to HDMI solution and with the lag, most likely.. Or try my hand on the Cable Matters alternative. Sadly, there aren't too many viable options if you are looking for wireless HDMI signal transmission. At the price, I expect a more hassle-free setup. Love the product but can't recommend with confidence. Product description should be updated to indicate that it may not work with select HDMI devices. A compatibility list would be nice, too.

Produit apparemment bien fini et peu cher pour sa fonction. A l'usage : une catastrophe. La transmission du signal ne supporte pas le moindre obstacle, sur un film d'1h30, le signal saute 10 à 15 fois et met une bonne minutes à se re-synchroniser (voire plus), ruinant totalement le plaisir... J'ai essayé toutes les configurations de positionnement possibles, je dispose en plus d'une excellente bande passante wifi (fibre). Rien à faire... Une énorme déception, renvoyé pour remboursement.

Muy buen equipo, estoy fascinado con la calidad del streaming y el alcance, al parecer el alcance es mucho mayor de lo que se especifica.

I bought this to replace the traditional VGA beamer and screen arrangement in our meeting room. The quality had always been poor but with a relocation the cable runs were just too long. The beamer was junked and I decided to go for a smart TV and connect wirelessly. The important feature was that there should be no requirement to install software on a pc or laptop connected to the display. Visitors need to use the system but may not have admin rights (or even want) to install something. This does just plug and play. Quality is excellent. I have it operating over a distance of just 4 metres. We can swap the transmitter from laptop to laptop and it reconnects. A coupe of points to note: The mains power supplies are US plugs with some pretty rubbish adaptors but I used a USB socket from the TV to power the receiver. BE CAREFUL that they can supply enough current. The first one I tried had a limit of 0.5A and although the receiver lit up and seemed to do all the functions it wouldn't sync up. Moving the power lead to a "full-fat" USB did the trick. The transmitter can be powered from a USB port on the laptop with a piggy-back cable. The transmitter has a standard HDMI connector. If you have HP laptops, they use a different connector. You need to get an HP Display Port to HDMI adaptor - they're readily available for a few quid. Works well and looks a bit flash!

Fast delivery. 3 days earlier from the schedule. Tested and worked well. It is a recommended product.

The signal looks compressed and there is much interference with WiFi network (sometimes RX and TX doesn’t connect).
