Digital camera reviews of Imation Wireless Projector Link (Black)
Digital camera Review: Good, but fussy
Summary: 3 Stars
Summary: quality of image is very good, and set-up at presentation-time is easy (*initial* set-up was not, see below). But the connection can be fussy: sometimes, for no apparent reason the connection is dropped (even with only 2 metres between computer and receiver. Occasionally parts of the screen will not update properly. All in all satisfactory, but not great.
Detail: I teach at a university, and use a tablet pc hooked to a digital projector in place of a whiteboard/chalkboard. I bought this product to free me up from cables etc. Thus my needs are not for full-motion video etc, but I do need something *very* reliable (there's nothing worse than making an audience wait while you fuss with technical problems in the middle of presentation). This product is fairly good; good enough not to return, but it could be much better.
My computer's resources exceeds Imation's advertised requirements (Motion M1400 1.1 GHZ, 2 gb ram, all drivers up-to-date)
Initial set-up. The documentation suggests using the Imation software that loads directly from the USB dongle when plugged into your laptop. My heart sank when I first tried that: the image was very jerky and slow-to-update (and the image changes only as a pen writes on the screen on my tablet; I don't even want to *think* what video would be like). The documentation also suggests as another option using some third-party software by "DisplayLink" which is supplied: once that gets going it is *much* better. Getting that going was difficult though: a succession of install attempts led me through lots of freeze-ups/blue-screens etc. I reinstalled drivers and after a few hours got it to work. Not a very friendly user experience.
Use: class-room set-up is easy: just plug in the receiver to the projector and the dongle to the computer. The two find each other without trouble, and after 20 seconds or so, you have your image. It's been said that wireless USB is fussy though, and they're right: sometimes (maybe once out of every three presentations) the connection will be dropped, for no apparent reason. The reciever/transmitter can be within 2 metres each motionless, yet down goes the connection. Fortunately the software re-links automatically, so one has time to smile apologetically, roll your eyes, and 30 seconds or so later, things are back up. I'm not happy with that, but I can tolerate it. Occasionally there are some weird screen artifacts: portions of the image won't update properly.
So minus a point for difficult set-up, and minus a point for frequently dropping connections.
