IOGEAR Introduces Wireless USB to VGA Kit for Streaming PC Content to an Alternate In-Room Display

Out-of-box solution allows users to wirelessly view spreadsheets and photos on a larger screen wherever they go

IRVINE, Calif., Aug. 26 /PRNewswire/ -- Consumers who desire a simple and mobile solution for viewing content on a bigger screen can now extend or clone their desktop to their HDTV or projector by utilizing IOGEAR's Wireless USB to VGA Kit. The product is on display at RetailVision, which is being held August 25-28, 2008 in San Diego, at booth #603.

The Wireless USB to VGA Kit enables HD video streaming between a PC and TV or projector up to 720p in a home or office. Users can edit spreadsheets and documents, view photos or browse the Internet from up to 30 feet away on their HDTV's big screen, without any cable clutter. Consumers can also utilize a television's picture-in-picture function to multitask, such as watching a football game while viewing a Fantasy Football grid on the same screen.

Consisting of one Wireless USB adapter to connect to a laptop or desktop and one wireless VGA adapter to plug into an in-room VGA display, the Kit is a comprehensive solution that utilizes a host adapter to ensure compatibility with all types of PCs. Ideal for the on-the-go user, the compact device can be taken anywhere with a laptop, such as to a friend or family member's home.

By communicating between devices wirelessly and eliminating material waste, the Wireless USB to VGA Kit is an eco-conscious choice for users who want an environmentally-friendly way to streamline entertainment and work spaces. It is also an ideal solution for surfaces that are difficult to wire, such as marble and fireplaces.

"As today's consumers become increasingly mobile, we want to cater to their on-the-go lifestyle and offer solutions that work with them everywhere," said Miranda Su, executive vice president of IOGEAR. "Our new Wireless USB to VGA Kit utilizes wireless technologies to simplify set-up processes for an easier work or entertainment environment."

The Wireless USB to VGA Kit is compatible with Windows(R) XP 32-bit (Service Pack 2) or Vista (32-/64-bit) operating systems. The product is currently undergoing the USB Implementers Forum certification process and will be available in October 2008 for $229.95 (MSRP) from all major catalog and online resellers, as well as select retail outlets.
