Aries Prime Wireless Video HDMI Transmitter & Receiver for Streaming HD 1080p 3D Video & Digital Audio from Laptop, PC, Cable, Netflix, YouTube, PS to HDTV/Projector (NPCS549)

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.

Needs work. USE: Transmitter is attached to a DirectTV GenieGo. Receiver is attached to a Sharp TV 60Ghz refresh rate. Receiver is about 10 to 12 feet away from transmitter. There are no walls in between. There are no nearby devices, of which I am aware, that could interrupt or degrade the signal. CONS: 1. The blue LED light on the transmitter blinks when the unit is off. Since I have to keep the Genie Go in a place where I can see it, the attached transmitter is also always viewable, as is the annoying, blinking LED light on the Nyrius Transmitter. 2. The picture is just OK. It is not clear, somewhat grainy. It might be the low 60 Ghz refresh rate on the TV. Perhaps the picture would be better if the TV was the normal 120 Ghz refresh rate, or the higher end 240 Ghz refresh rate? PROS: Well, it does work in the sense that it projects a TV signal to a remote TV that is not directly attached to my DirecTV service. Addendum: I have been using this product for over a year now. It has been a massive disappointment. Sometimes, it works OK, with the exception of the less than quality picture. Mostly though, it has great trouble keeping a constant, consistent video stream. I do not understand this because the receiver is in a room adjacent to the hardware broadcasting the signal, within 15 feet. And, there is clear line of sight. The signal has fits and starts, frequent time outs. It is immensely frustrating. I have gotten to the point that I rarely use the hardware. Today, I spent and hour on-line with their support people trying to troubleshoot the difficulty. Nothing could resolve the problem. I consider this purchase to have been a total waste of time and money, and would not recommend this product to anyone.

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 have been testing the Nyrius Aries for about 2 weeks now. The wireless transmitter works very well at times, but fails to connect at times as well. The automatic closing of the 5G channels works well as i have my router also on the same frequency. There is no interruption due to this. At times the device will restart on its own, i believe maybe it gets too hot mounted behind the TV. I have it about 15 feet from my TV broadcasting my cable box. The cable box/transmitter reside behind the couch which definitely affects the quality. You can see the TV quality drop at times due to the couch being in the way, but once you move the box to higher ground where the signal isn't being blocked by a couch, the quality is great. This is not good for anyone trying to hide all wires/cables boxes. I would not recommend this for anyone displaying solid background images, meaning if you are using this for digital signage, and you have images which contain large space of 1 solid color, you will notice that there are flickering pixels on the screen. I would recommend this for anyone at home having to deal with low-skilled cable providers (Comcast) and wanting them to cable your house. DO NOT ALLOW THEM TO CABLE YOUR HOUSE, they will make holes everywhere and not run the wires through your attic/wall.

I had some doubts whether this would work to send an HDMI signal from the back of my Sony receiver to my Epson 730HD projector on my patio. The distance is only about 20' but it's through a double pane glass door that's usually open when I'm on the patio, meaning that there are actually 4 panes in the way, and also the door frame itself. To complicate matters, I need to feed the transmitter through an Orei HD-102 2-port HDMI active splitter. I set everything up...and it all worked immediately! The splitter sits on top of my receiver and the ARIES transmitter is sticking-up vertically off the back of the splitter. I can see it from the patio if I move to the right position, but that's not where the ARIES receiver is located. So this unit and the splitter are both getting 5 stars. I did have a glitch worth mentioning. My Sony Receiver has no USB port whereas my projector does. So I tried powering this ARIES system "backwards" meaning that I used the USB cord on the receiver end and the 120 vac adapter on the transmitter end. It worked for about 5 minutes that way but then the receiver "died", as in, no power. After resetting everything including the projector it worked again for a while then quit again. I'm guessing that the ARIES receiver needs more power than the projector's USB port can provide and that port is shutting down. So I grabbed the little USB charger for my iPad and reverted to that for the receiver and it worked fine from that point on. I watched several hours of various video sources outdoors including Blu-ray. There were no issues with anything as far as the video goes, and apparently no problems with HDCP. I did note that the speaker in the projector was not working (and I know it does work with a connection from my computer) so I'm guessing that the DD5.1 SS audio is not present in the HDMI output from my Sony receiver. But that's a non-issue as I'm using speakers connected to the receiver (through an OSD 120-watt 2-channel amp) to provide the audio. It's all good...!

As the subject states I wanted to love this item, I got it at a fantastic price and setup was a breeze. My setup is a little different then advertised as I was using this to go from my Sony Receiver to my Epson projector. Initial setup as I stated was easy just plug in the doggle into the receiver(device you want to send image from and then connect the box to the projector) At first it worked masterfully. No issues with lag or sound. Just turned on my devices and everything worked just fine. It was 2-3 days later where I would get no picture and a message that would say connecting on the screen for about a day or so. Just wanted to note that nothing changed in my setup from day one to day 3. Again out of nowhere it started to work again so I thought everything was ok but then again it stopped working. I contacted support and as far as troubleshooting goes it is minimal since the item is so simplistic to use. They suggested that since I am in a Condo that wireless interference was the cause but I doubt it/ Another note I followed all guidelines( must be within 30 ft, I was 15ft) and had a clear path between projector and receiver but no luck. I returned the product to Amazon making this the 2nd wireless HDMI unit that would not work the other being an ActionTec. I do have some great news I found an item the Nyrius makes that has been flawless, its $50 more at the time of this posting but well worth it, I included the link below. Hope this helps and I have a review of that item on its respective page! http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009DHPUDI/ref=cm_cr_ryp_prd_ttl_sol_7

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).
