MSRP: $379.95
Ship date: 11/28/2011

IOGEAR’s Wireless 3D Digital Kit streams Full HD 1080p with support for latest 3D movie content along with 5.1 digital surround sound audio up to 100 feet away within the home or other desired set up. 3D streaming is still in its infancy, but IOGEAR’s innovative new kit makes it a reality for enthusiasts of the emerging video format. The kit consists of a Wireless 3D Transmitter and a Wireless 3D Receiver with connections for two HDMI™ enabled devices and a loop-through (local) port for an advanced two HDTV multi-room set up. It also includes Infrared (IR) pass-through for wireless control of devices. Consolidation of HD A/V electronics, such as 3D/Blu-ray players, DVR / Set-top boxes, and game console is easy with the Wireless 3D Digital Kit, allowing users to design their own custom entertainment space. Built-in IR allows users to control source devices that are hidden away in other rooms. Also HDCP compliant, with a simple press of a button, the kit easily switches the source content being displayed on their 3D/1080p HD TV or projector. The Wireless 3D Digital Kit does not require a line-of-sight placement, keeping home theater devices neatly out of sight, which enables a quick, simple, and flexible wireless audio / video solution. The configuration possibilities for the GW3DHDKIT are endless and it helps solve many installation issues in today’s digital home. Designed for challenging scenarios, the Wireless 3D Digital Kit streams HD or 3D content at a frequency of 5GHz. For added convenience, LED indicators let users know whether power is on, whether a port is in use, or if a signal is being received. No previous streaming device achieves what the Wireless 3D Digital Kit does for the price, especially considering the how few 3D accessories currently exist.


Features

Wireless 3D streaming is not widely available and represents a significant innovation in the video industry. HD displays with 3D capability are an investment and the cost associated with running cables, snaking wires and drilling holes in the wall, just to bring content to another room, is not always worth the price. Retrofit installations of A/V gear are an increasingly popular trend as consumers aim to save money but still achieve the same level of performance from their home entertainment setups. The IOGEAR Wireless 3D Digital Kit is an affordable and easily installed solution that adds great value to a 3D set-up. One scenario that sets the Wireless 3D Digital Kit apart is its ability to provide multi-room access to 3D content via the powerful transmitter and receiver. By simply connecting one HD or 3D display to the loop-through (local) port on the transmitter and connecting the wireless receiver to a second TV within 100 feet, content can be streamed wirelessly whether it's from a Blu-ray, DVD player, DVR or cable set-top box. This also allows you to create the "Floating TV" scenario over the fireplace. Previously, the bandwidth involved with streaming 3D content would have made it impossible to do wirelessly. With innovative design, IOGEAR has created a solution that can handle the high-bandwidth demands of both 1080p and 3D video content, in addition to 5.1 digital audio, all at once. This is a huge advantage for those who have components that feed both HD and 3D TVs in their homes. For simple installation, setting up the Wireless 3D Digital Kit requires no software or driver installation. Connecting the transmitter and receiver is as easy as it sounds.

Benefits

Demand for wireless solutions has skyrocketed over the last few years as consumers are retrofitting more and looking for space-saving alternatives. At the same time, 3D displays have popularized, but streaming and other accessory devices have been slow to follow because of high-bandwidth issues and other complications. The IOGEAR Wireless 3D Digital Kit addresses the issues and offers the unique benefit of wireless 1080p or 3D streaming. The Kit gives consumers flexibility to put TVs or other devices in places they couldn't before, without line-of-sight placement. In this role, it can be a valuable accessory in larger or older homes that aren't wired in every room. Ideal for concealment, the Wireless 3D Digital Kit fits snuggly and discretely into any home theater set up. If displayed, the sleek black casing and minimalist form factor allow easy blending with home or commercial décor. Built-in IR allows user control of source devices that are hidden away in another room or closet. The IOGEAR Wireless 3D Digital Kit provides a valuable, affordable solution for extending the reach of HD and 3D content, expanding installation options for both professionals and DIY enthusiasts.
