The device that will unseat Chromecast? Airtame
As with everything, when something is successful, the competition does not take long to appear. This is the case of Google ChromeCast that, for quite some time, has been comfortably leading the market for this type of device without any brand shading it. Now he has a tough competitor, Airtame. It is a wireless HDMI device designed specifically to be used in professional environments, allowing wirelessly viewing what we are seeing on our computer.
In this way, users can completely forget about the cables and duplicate their desk on television, in a project or on a monitor, offering FullHD resolutions and transmitting sound with a high level of quality. Which is really advantageous for classrooms, meeting rooms and control centers where inopportune impossible cables have always been a problem. Everything is resolved through WiFi.
what are the advantages of Airtame.
Surround sound support
Airtame has support for two stereo channels with variable bitrate. In this way, surround sound is achieved. The program that incorporates the device has the ability to identify the type of video in order to provide better performance in different scenarios, whether presentations, video games or standard video reproductions.
1 GHz ARM processor
Airtame incorporates an ARM processor at 1GHz with 512 MB of RAM, 1.4 HDMI port with CEC support, 802.11b / g / n WiFi connectivity and MHL. Powered through USB as with ChromeCast.
Possibility of connecting other USB devices
Airtame allows you to connect other USB devices to improve the possibilities of the device. For example, keyboards or storage devices. Of course, we will have to wait to see the real performance, since the latency and HD video transmission are very complex elements. However, they seem to have been resolved in a remarkable way.
