Wireless DVI....?

[Cptn Vortex]

Hi guys.... Wondering if we can come up with a solution for a client... I have a customer who is in need of something like this : Viewsonic WPG-150 Wireless G Presentation Gateway (WPG-150) in Canada - Fast Shipping 1.866.800.8060

But preferably higher resolution support. Do you know if anyone makes something like this in DVI form? Basically, we need the ability to connect laptops to a touchscreen 42".... might be tought.... Not sure how to wirelessly connect the usb/serial for the touch interface either.....

I looked at something like this before X-mas to carry a hdmi signal to my tv wirelessy.
I will look around for the link, sounds like what you are looking for.

Edit cant find the original one, I swear it was HD capable but similar.

None of that will work with a touchscreen.

Which begs the question of why you would need remote wireless with a touchscreen? I don't get it.

Lappy sits somewhere in the back of the room, dude runs the program or powerpoint presentaion by tapping on the screen up front. Think business presentations, keynote speech at CES..........

Because there is no signal going back right?
Or is there something else I am not getting?

That is close Supergrover, but it wont handle the touchscreen aspect... SugarJ is correct. That is precisely what the client is wanting to do. Basically they want to have a 42" or larger touchscreen in their conference room, and then when their clients or reps are visiting, they want to have the option of connecting their laptop to the screen essentially anywhere in the room. Obviously, it would be just as simple to just get a docking station or port replicator beside the Screen...but I am first going to try and see if what they want exists. I dont think so though.....

The point you are missing padawan.

Why on gods green earth do you need to put the laptop at the back of the room with no one near it?

You plug it in to the touchscreen and control it via the touchscreen. Doesn't matter where it is right? So why employ some expensive solution to put the lappy somewhere it doesn't need to be. A solution that will not allow you to use the touchscreen.

Vortex you are a consultant, give them some good advice.

It's an image/marketing thing. You don't want to be able to see the laptop sitting on the podium/stage/wherever. It's gotta be cool, right? Personally, I'd run a long DVI or HDMI cable to the back of the room, or look for some solution like that. Maybe make a built in miniITX box, mount it behind the screen, control it remotely with the laptop if necessary?
