Good Morning - I think someone mentioned a Creston product but not by name.
We are just starting to deploy Creston AirMedia on campus in several rooms/labs. Wireless connection works easily for our faculty/staff wireless security group - we've had to add our student group to the access point(s) in the classroom to permit them to connect to the AirMedia due to the way our network is set up. This spring will be a good test because we'll have classes actively using the rooms. It does work with iPads and iPhones (iPhones are more limited in terms of what they can do - haven't tested the iPad fully yet). I've seen YouTube video being played through the AirMedia and it's not bad. I'm not sure if I'd play a DVD in a laptop wirelessly connecting to the AirMedia - that might be too overpowering. Firmware upgrades are being promised to bring it up to 30 fps video.
