We looked at the barco but it was pricey, we use the crestron air-media which 
has the added benefit of not needing wifi. It in fact plugs in wired and you 
simply access it via any network route.

We have a ClickShare - it works well, but was very pricy. It basically is an AP 
(luckily it can do 5GHz so interference wasn’t a problem) that talks to the 
dongles. The benefit is the simplicity for Windows and Mac users; we get no 
support calls on it. The down side is the cost (4 digits for the device and USB 
dongles).

One of our groups just showed up with the Barco ClickShare.  I know it's been 
discussed here in the past a couple of times, but any idea how it compares with 
some of the other solutions mentioned here already?

Just at a first glance I'm not too wild about it since it basically looks like 
an AP that gets connected to a projector or display.

Look into the BlackBox device I posted earlier 
(http://www.blackbox.com/Store/Detail.aspx/Wireless-Presentation-System/AVX-HDMI-WI
 ) - it's suspiciously similar to the AirMedia (we have a handful of those), 
but about 1/3 to 1/4 the price. We've purchased a couple to trial.

And I forgot that there is another version of the air-media that is made by 
teqavit.com, in fact they are so similar that their clients work on each 
other's devices (and possibly one of them is made by the other?).

Re: [WIRELESS-LAN] Desktop projection to classroom display

Check out Actiontec Screenbeams.  We use them in 30 of our classrooms and
the wireless video stream is almost perfect.  IT does require a good
wireless network because WiDi piggy backs on your wireless routers.  We use
them in the classroom to wireless stream to our projectors.
