Wireless AV: What's the Best Way to Do It?

摘要

Cutting the cord can be a great way to eliminate trip hazards, add network connectivity to a new camera or display, or eliminate an unsightly rat's nest of cables. But going wireless can also create headaches if the design and execution aren't spot-on. The AV industry has a lot of experience with wireless technologies. What have we learned so far? Of all available wireless technologies, Wi-Fi stands to handle a lion's share of AV traffic. The main reason: It's there, not only in most offices, classrooms, and other facilities, but also in the tablets, laptops, and other varied source devices the users increasingly want integrated with their AV systems. Such popularity means the Wi-Fi bands often are crowded, especially the 2.4 GHz band.
