Isidluliseli se-ConnectAir silingana nosayizi wekesi lokushaja lama-earbud angenantambo.
Angikaze ngikhululeke ukungena ezinsizeni zokusakaza ehhotela noma ku-Airbnb TV. Okunye engingakwenza ukuze ngibukele izinhlelo zethu esizithandayo esikrinini esikhulu ukuhamba ngentambo ye-HDMI engamamitha angu-10 kanye ne-adaptha ye-USB-C-to-HDMI yokuxhuma ngokuqondile amadivaysi ethu eselula ku-TV engajwayelekile. I-adaptha ye-HDMI engenantambo ka-Belkin izongivumela ukuthi ngishiye lokho kungcola okunzima ekhaya.
Ukusakaza ividiyo okungenantambo sekubhakiwe kakade kumadivayisi e-Apple ne-Android nge-AirPlay ne-Google Cast, kodwa ukusebenzisa lezo zici ungekho ekhaya kudinga ukufinyelela ku-TV ehambisanayo noma ibhokisi lokusakaza kanye nenethiwekhi ethembekile ye-Wi-Fi. Uma ngabe ngisebenzise i-TV eyabiwe ngenkathi ngihamba ngibuka izinhlelo zethu esizithandayo, i-compact HDMI dongle evela e-Roku noma e-Amazon ingaba yisixazululo esilula. Kodwa umndeni wami uthanda ukuphequlula izithombe zosuku esikrinini esikhulu, uhlele ngokuhlanganyela uhambo lwethu olulandelayo, futhi uze udlale imidlalo embalwa. Ngezidingo zethu, i-ConnectAir iwukuthuthukiswa okwamukelekayo phezu kokuhilizisana nekhebuli yevidiyo ende eye, izikhathi ezingaphezu kwesisodwa, yaba yingozi yokukhubeka. I-adaptha yokubonisa ye-Belkin ConnectAir Wireless HDMI
Lapho Ungayithenga: $149.99 eBelkin Akusona isixazululo esiphelele, kodwa ukuyekethisa okumbalwa kulula ukukushalazela uma kubhekwa ukuthi kulula kangakanani ukusebenzisa i-ConnectAir engu-$149.99. Ukusetha i-adaptha yevidiyo engenantambo bekulula nakakhulu kunokusebenzisa i-AirPlay noma i-Google Cast. Iza ne-dongle yokudlulisa, cishe usayizi wekesi lokushaja lama-earbud angenantambo, ongakwazi ukulixhuma kunoma iyiphi idivayisi enembobo ye-USB-C esekela i-DisplayPort Alt Mode. (Cha, i-Nintendo Switch ayihambelani.)
I-ConnectAir ifika nekhebula lesamukeli elingu-28-intshi elinesixhumi se-HDMI ohlangothini olulodwa nesixhumi se-USB-A kwesinye samandla. Amakamelo amaningi amahhotela, noma okungenani lawo athuthukisiwe esikhathini esithile eminyakeni eyi-15 edlule, kufanele abe ne-TV enembobo ye-USB ngemuva enganika amandla izesekeli ze-HDMI. Angikaze ngihlangabezane nenye engahlangani nayo, kodwa uma uzithola uzama ukuxhuma ku-TV kusukela ekuqaleni kwawo-2000 ngaphandle kweyodwa uzodinga ukuthola omunye umthombo wamandla umamukeli. Lokho kuzohlanganisa ukusethwa kwakho uma kudinga i-adaptha yamandla ehlukile kanye nekhebula le-USB-extension uma i-outlet etholakalayo ikude kunamayintshi angu-28.
Uma bobabili sebexhunywe kumadivayisi wabo abafanele isidlulisi nomamukeli badinga cishe imizuzwana emihlanu ukuze baxhume ngokuzenzakalelayo futhi baqale ukwabelana ngevidiyo ngaphandle kwentambo ngesinqumo esingafika ku-1080p/60Hz. Ngisebenzise i-ConnectAir ukubuka amahora ambalwa amamuvi nezinhlelo ze-TV ku-Netflix naku-Disney Plus futhi naphezu kwesinyathelo esisuka ku-4K ikhwalithi yevidiyo yayiyinhle kakhulu, inezimpawu ezicashile kuphela zokuminyanisa okwengeziwe nokulahlekelwa kombala.
Ukusakazwa kwevidiyo nakho bekuqinile phakathi kwebanga elithile. Angihlali esithabathabeni somuzi futhi angikwazanga ukuhlola izimangalo zika-Belkin ze-ConnectAir enobubanzi obungamamitha angu-131. Kodwa ngikwazile ukuqhela cishe ngamafithi angu-60 ku-TV, ngesignali edlula phansi nasebondeni ngaphambi kokudlala kwevidiyo ngezikhathi ezithile kuqale ukuhiccup noma ukuma kancane.
Lobo bubanzi obungamafidi angu-131 bungenzeka uma usebenzisa i-ConnectAir ukwethula umbukiso wesilayidi kuprojektha ngakolunye uhlangothi lwegumbi elikhulu lenkomfa ngaphandle kwanoma yiziphi izithiyo. Ukugcina isidlulisi nomamukeli egumbini elilodwa kuzokunikeza imiphumela engcono kakhulu ekhaya, kodwa kuhle ukwazi ukuthi akudingekile ukuthi bahlale besendleleni yokubonana ukuze basebenze.
Uzothola izinkinobho kukho kokubili isidluliseli nesamukeli sokusetha kabusha ukuxhumana okungenantambo uma uhlangabezana nezinkinga, kodwa bekungakadingeki ngisebenzise noma kunjalo. Isamukeli se-HDMI sizophinda sibonise isithombe esimile ku-TV uma singaxhumekile kusidlulisi, okwenza kube lula ukuthola idivayisi lapho uhamba ngebhayisikili ngokokufaka kwe-TV.
Ukukhawulelwa ku-1080p akusona isinqamuleli kimina, kodwa ngemuva kokusakaza imuvi yamahora amabili i-dongle ye-ConnectAir's transmitter icishe yashisa kakhulu ukuthi ungayithinta. Ngeke ngikhululeke ukuyiphonsa esikhwameni ngaphandle kwesikhathi sokupholisa. Kuphinde kube nokubambezeleka okuncane phakathi kwalokho okubona ocingweni lwakho kanye ne-TV exhumeke ngokungenantambo. Akuyona inkinga yokudlala okuvamile, kodwa ngeke ngincome ukudlala i-Fortnite ngalokhu kusetha.
Isikhalazo sami esikhulu nge-ConnectAir ukuntuleka kwamandla okudlula ku-transmitter. Idonsa wonke amandla ewadingayo kudivayisi yakho, ezodonsa ibhethri layo ngokushesha okukhulu. Kukhompyutha ephathekayo uzoba nayoezinye izimbobo zokuxhuma umthombo wamandla kuzo, kodwa amadivayisi eselula anembobo eyodwa ye-USB-C kuphela. Uma ufuna ukushaja idivayisi yakho yeselula ngenkathi usakaza ku-TV nge-ConnectAir, uzodinga ukungeza ihabhu elincane kumiksi, noma ubhanqe ifoni yakho nebhange lamandla elingenantambo.
I-ConnectAir ngokuqinisekile akuyona enye indlela eshibhile yokuhlanganisa ikhebula le-HDMI ende nomaphi lapho uya khona, futhi ungathola ezinye izindlela ezingenantambo ezivela kubaqhudelani be-Belkin njenge-Ugreen (okufaka imbobo yokudlula amandla!) ngaphansi kwe-$100. Engikuthandayo ngesixazululo sika-Belkin ukuthi noma ngine-adaptha yamandla eyengeziwe yokuxhuma kuma-TV amadala, ngisakuthola kuyisixazululo esilula nesiphathekayo kunentambo ye-HDMI enwetshwe ekamelweni. I-ConnectAir kulula ukuyisebenzisa, ithembekile, futhi abukho ubungozi bokuthi ama-TV namadivayisi aphahlazeke phansi ngephutha uma umuntu odlulayo ekhohlwa ukuthi ixhunyiwe.
