CablesToGo has been keeping a lot of people connected to their digital content with a wide variety of gadgets and various types of adapters built especially for tech savvies out there. Now, they are announcing the availability of a new technology that is designed to synchronize multiple displays via wireless and/or cabled transmissions.

“The wireless distribution system is a great solution for adding digital signage into an existing building, particularly ones with concrete, brick or other solid walls that make running cable prohibitive,” said Gary Hess, vice president of innovation for Lastar, parent company of Cables To Go. “In addition, the wired mode is based on standard Ethernet allowing the system to utilize existing network cabling and equipment.”

This new tech is called the TruLink Wireless Digital Signage Distribution System (WDSDS) and it is supposed to make the lives of technicians easier whenever working on a building where a fully cabled video connection is difficult to establish. This solution from CablesToGo allows for a more flexible setup by mixing the cable and the wireless connections.

The WDSDS works via the wireless 802.11 a/g protocol and can transmit video and stereo audio signals onto as many as 32 screens situated at an optimal range of 100 feet. The system allows for additional antennas to be added in order for the signal to reach even further. Of course, you have to get your own receivers and transmitters separately, according to the system you want to build. These will come with a DVI-I connector included.

CablesToGo's WDSDS is going to support plug and play installation, has a web interface and the Lip-Sync function in order to help synchronize a large number of displays. The maximum video resolution supported will be of 1,268 x 1,024 pixels and the maximum of monitors supported is of 1,000, over a 3,000 foot range.
