With the popularization of smart televisions, projection devices, and large screen displays, large screen entertainment and large screen office have become new choices for people. Smart large screen devices have larger screen space and higher resolution, providing a more immersive visual experience. One of the driving forces of this trend is the continuous development and diversification of screen projection technology, which enables the linkage between mobile terminals and intelligent large screens. We can easily project audio and video content from mobile terminals such as phones and tablets onto the large screen.
As is well known, screen projection can be effectively utilized in various scenes, such as home movies, class presentations, activity displays, and various meetings. This all indicates that the application of screen projection is bringing profound impacts to our lives
Comparison between wired and wireless screen projection methods
Wired projection and wireless projection are two mainstream forms of projection technology, widely used in different scenarios. Here is the analysis of their advantages and disadantages.
Wired screen projection:
Advantage:
-
Stability and reliability: Wired connections, such as HDMI or VGA, generally offer stable and reliable connections with minimal interference. They are less susceptible to signal dropouts or latency issues.
-
High quality: Wired connections often support higher data transfer rates, allowing for high-resolution and high-quality video and audio transmission.
-
Simplicity and compatibility: Wired connections are typically straightforward to set up and are widely compatible with various devices, including laptops, projectors, and displays.
Disadvantage:
-
Limitation of mobility: The main drawback of wired connections is the limitation of mobility. Devices need to be physically connected to the projector or display using cables, which may restrict movement.
-
Inefficient and time-consuming: Matching interfaces and protocols leads to complex and lengthy preparation work, resulting in low screen projection efficiency.
-
Uncertainty: Wired screen projection may pose a risk of hindering the progress of the meeting due to incompatible wiring devices or the lack of suitable cables for transfer.
Wireless screen projection
Advantage:
-
Mobility and convenience: Wireless connections, such as Wi-Fi or Bluetooth, offer greater mobility, allowing users to move freely without being tethered by cables.
-
Ease of setup: Wireless connections can be easier to set up, eliminating the need for physical cables and simplifying the connection process.
-
Flexibility: Wireless projection allows for more flexible placement of devices and projectors, contributing to a cleaner and more organized workspace.
-
Collaboration: Wireless projection is conducive to collaborative environments where multiple users want to share content from different devices without the hassle of cables.
Disadvantage:
In summary, the choice between wired and wireless screen projection methods depends on factors such as stability, quality, mobility requirements, and the specific use case. Wired connections are often favored for critical applications where stability and security are paramount, while wireless connections offer convenience and flexibility, especially in collaborative and mobile settings.
In traditional business meetings, wired connections are commonly used for screen projection. Before the meeting begins, the speaker must connect an HDMI cable between the monitor and laptop to set up the presentation content. This step demands the speaker to arrive early, extending the preparation time beyond the scheduled meeting time. This can inconvenience attendees in terms of both time and space.
So in traditional conference rooms, wireless connection is a better choice, which can quickly achieve screen projection and avoid the trouble. NearHub Tail is a wireless screen projector that simplifies the way to start conference room meetings. Next, we will provide a detailed introduction to it.
The introduction of NearHub Tail
As can be seen from the picture, NearHub Tail is shaped like rectangular prisms, resembling a box or cuboid. The front and back faces are typically larger rectangles, while the sides are smaller rectangles, giving it a three-dimensional, box-like appearance. It is smaller than the size of the palm and can be easily held in the hand. There are two wires with three types of connectors on one side of it to pair with the computer and the monitor.
How to use NearHub Tail?
When screen projection is required, we first plug the HDMI cable of Tail into the monitor for pairing. After successful pairing, we unplug it and then select the suitable plug on the other cable to connect into the computer interface. This way, the content presented on the computer will be quickly presented on the display.
When you walk into a conference room, it connects you to devices like cameras, speakerphones, and displays, allowing users to quickly start a meeting from their laptop in seconds with their preferred video conferencing platform,which streamlines your meeting preparations and elevates your meeting and presentation efficiency.
