Simplify Your TV Experience and Go Wireless!

So you have yourself a big television. With the right hookups, you can turn your TV into a powerful business tool for your conference room. To get the most out of your conference room TV experience, you can cut the cord entirely and go wireless! Here's how you do it.

With the right equipment, you can broadcast the audio and video streaming from your computer to your TV across the room or across the building, and that's not all, you can also broadcast the signal to multiple screens on multiple devices so that everyone can view your content.

Broadcast from Your PC to Your TV
For starters, you can wirelessly broadcast what's on your PC to your TV. If you have an attention for detail, then you will particularly love the wireless option compared to hooking up a computer next to your wall-mounted flat screen and then having to run tacky-looking wires up the wall. Additionally, broadcasting wirelessly is easier than running cables and having to potentially drill holes in the wall.

All that you need in order to achieve this is a wireless USB audio and video kit. You can find one made by several different manufacturers with different price points and different technical capabilities. A basic model will transmit signals up to 30 feet away, which is big enough for most conference rooms. Setting up a typical wireless kit is as easy as plugging in three adapters. There's an adapter is for audio and speaker connectivity, a VGA for the TV, and a wireless USB adapter for the hosting PC. This is a super easy way to turn any TV with a VGA port into a wireless computer monitor.

Wirelessly Access the Internet Directly on Your TV
Many newer television models come with built-in wireless Internet capability, which will include a web browser and the option to download entertainment apps like Netflix and YouTube. This is great for streaming your favorite movies. Televisions like this have a practical side for businesses as well. Thanks to the most popular business applications being available on the cloud, you don't have to directly install a major business application onto your TV in order to use it. Instead, you can access your work through your web browser. This will come in particularly handy for giving presentations via Microsoft PowerPoint, Google Apps, or any other presentation solution that takes advantage of the web.

Broadcast to Multiple Devices
Another wireless option that you can take advantage of to enhance your business presentations is to make it so that other people can view the same content that you're presenting on their mobile devices. This takes the art of presenting to a whole new level as people can now interact with your content. Using a solution like this may even negate the need for a big screen entirely. By having your meeting's presentation loaded to a web page or hosted to a shared cloud app, all the participants can access the same web page and follow along slide by slide. This is kind of like giving everybody a booklet handout of your presentation, except it's better because it saves paper and allows people to share files during the presentation.

These days, more technology is cutting the cord and going wireless. This can really help to simplify any problems that stem from tangled cords, save you from the expense of buying and replacing wires, and it's a lot more attractive than having ugly wires sprawled about.
