Hooking up a computer to a TV is rarely an easy task, both from the point of view of the interfaces and cables and that of the sheer distance of the two machines. And this is exactly the reason why the Addlogix company launched back in the second half of 2007 its InternetVue 2100 adapter, as this particular device allows users to send all the video played on a computer towards the TV without requiring any wires.



Thus, the InternetVue 2100 allows a computer to use its onboard or add-on IEEE802.11 b/g adapter to wirelessly stream video to the TV without any cable. With the video quality at up to 30 frames per second, the transmitted video is smooth and jitter-free with virtually no delay or distortion. Moreover, it features one DVI output (640x480, 800x600, 1024x768 resolutions at 60/75 Hz) and one VGA output (640x480, 800x600, 1024x768 resolutions at 60/75 Hz).



The InternetVue offers a fast and easy "out-of-box" set up and is controlled by user-friendly software which is built into the unit. When powered on, InternetVue shows up as an available wireless network connection (similar to a WiFi Hotspot" connection) on the computer's network setting. Users simply load the installation disc in the computer. Upon user's confirmation, the software driver is then installed to the computer. To send PC screen wirelessly to InternetVue and the connected TV, all user has to do is launch the installed application.



The device works in a duplication mode, which means that it mirrors the computer's display, but, unfortunately, it supports a relatively limited range of video signals, namely up to 1024 x 768 XGA graphics resolution, up to 640 x 480 VGA/SD video resolution, up to 30 fps frame rate, up to 24-bit color depth and up to 75Hz frequency.



The InternetVue 2100 retails for around 250 US dollars, which is a bit much, but it's a rather fair amount, taking into consideration the fact that it can open up numerous opportunities for its users.
