Wireless HDMI transmitter and receiver: How does it work?

If you’re in the market for a wireless HDMI extender kit, understanding how these devices function can be crucial in making an informed choice. Let’s delve into the workings of a wireless HDMI extender, focusing on the BG-AIR4KAST model by BZBGEAR.

Components of the BZBGEAR Wireless HDMI Extender Kit

The BZBGEAR wireless HDMI extender kit comprises essential components such as the transmitter, receiver, IR extension units, antennas, power adapter, and mounting accessories.

Setup Process

Setting up the kit is straightforward: connect your HDMI video source (e.g., Blu-ray player, gaming console) to the transmitter, ensuring the IR blaster is positioned nearby. The receiver, which connects to your TV, receives the HDMI signal wirelessly, with the IR receiver allowing remote control of your source device. This setup allows for a transmission range of up to 164 feet, offering installation flexibility. Additionally, mounting ears are included for a tidy installation.

How It Works

Operating on a wireless 5GHz frequency band, the BG-AIR4KAST utilizes this stable and interference-resistant spectrum to transmit the Blu-ray (or other HDMI devices) signal from the transmitter to the receiver wirelessly. The receiver then outputs the HDMI signal directly to your TV. To maintain image quality during transmission, the extender kit incorporates IPCOLOR Stream technology.
