BenQ Sends Video from Your PC to Your TV
New device transmits DVD-quality movies and music via Wi-Fi.
HANOVER, GERMANY -- At first glance, BenQ's WM1000 Wireless Media Adapter looks like a typical Wi-Fi access point. But looks can be deceiving.
Designed to stream DVD-quality MPEG4 video and MP3 music over an 802.11b wireless LAN connection, the WM1000 is no simple Wi-Fi access point.

The WM1000 can stream video from a PC to a television and is designed to be able to operate in the vicinity of other wireless access points without suffering from interference, said Jerry Wang, vice president and general manager of sales operations at BenQ.
In addition to receiving video streamed from a PC, the WM1000 can handle input from a DVD player or cable television, he said.
The WM1000 will begin shipping next quarter, Wang said. Pricing was not immediately available.
The company, based in Taipei, will initially release the product in Asia before rolling it out to other regions. The company did not give a timeframe for worldwide rollout.
