Product Description

From the Manufacturer

Multimedia broadcasting.
The InFocus LiteShow II Wireless Presentation Adaptor connects directly to any projector with a VGA connection, making that projector wireless-enabled. Not only can users send standard slideshow presentations from their laptop, but advanced hardware actually enables LiteShow II to receive seamless high-resolution video and stereo audio simultaneously. You won’t have to worry about the annoyance of video or audio "lag", with onboard 802.11 b/g connectivity each presentation will be smooth.

Forward thinking.
As display technology evolves and higher resolution content is integrated in presentations, LiteShow II is designed to support and adapt to these changes. Operating on the WiFi standard with ample memory for upgrades, your future presentations will be as brilliantly cable-free as those you make today with LiteShow II.

Pass the plug-in?
Zero cables to present, no more software to pass around! LiteShow II features onboard memory which holds the necessary driver and management software. Any new user can connect to the LiteShow II wireless signal, install the software and begin a presentation in a matter of minutes. Impressive new technology from InFocus is so easy to use it will change the way meetings are run.

Collaborate.
Believe it or not most meetings are meant to bring people together to share ideas, here’s how the LiteShow II makes this possible:
One user "the agency" visits your office, quickly installs the LiteShow II manager and presents a detailed slideshow on new market penetration for an upcoming product. In response, another user "the client" connects to her/his LiteShow II and projects the brief document which shows "the agency" that they in fact surveyed the wrong audience--leading to a thorough set of new research, reduced agency fees, and unmatched sales.

2.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing ...., January 21, 2008

By	D. Swartzendruber (Simpsonville, SC) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I purchased the InFocus LiteShowII Wireless Presentation Adaptor in hopes that I would not have to run an additional cable to the projector. Installation and usage was easy, the problem is with the software you have to install on the presenter's laptop. The software uses a lot of CPU which caused the laptop to become sluggish. At times it took 5 seconds for a slide to change. The laptop was a 1.2Ghz Pentium M with 2GB RAM, Windows XP Pro. The problem is when visitors come with their own laptop that may not be the latest and greatest or they have a lot of junk installed, the InFocus software is unusable.

Thankfully I ordered it from Amazon and my return of the product was painless!

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Product, November 30, 2007

By	J. A. Barlow "Online LC" (Nashville, TN) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I am a teacher and also hold responsibility for technology purchases in the science department. Last spring we started using tablet pc's and so we could be wireless we went with the Plextor product. It was a huge disappointment as they were never truthful about when the Vista version would come out and when it did, the lag between writing on the tablet and it appearing on the screen was totally distracting for the students.

Three weeks ago, I changed out the adapters to the Liteshow 2's and what a difference. Some key points include:

The setup is a breeze even when configured as an accesspoint (Never did get the Plexto to work properly in this configuration).

The connection software that resides on the computer is very user friendly and you can arrive in a classroom and be projecting with no hassles within seconds. In fact, the software actually is a lot easier than the process I had to go through to set up a wired VGA connection.

The software is free. (Plextor only give you 3 licenses and is extremely user unfriendly)

There is a tiny lag between writing and it appearing on the screen but nothing that would ever distract the students.

I have several set up and if we switch classrooms, it takes no time at all to log onto another one.

I am extremely pleased with this product, InFocus really knew what they were doing on this one.

1.0 out of 5 stars Poorly implemented and explained, June 11, 2009

By	S. Fishburn (Maple Valley, WA United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Most modern WiFi enabled devices support configuration via a web browser so as to support multiple computing platforms (i.e. Windows and OS 10). This device does not. It is a Windows only device. To operate the configuration utility to setup the LiteShow II, the Windows only client software has to be installed on the host computer and it further requires that software in order to support a video/audio interface between the computer and the projector. Accordingly, the LiteShow II will only work with a Windows computer and will only work on a computer on which the InFocus software client is installed. If you only have a single computer operating Windows, the LiteShow II might be useful for your application. Else, look elsewhere for a WiFi adapter that is engineered with flexibility and ease-of-use in mind so your guest don't show up with a presentation and no way to present unless he/she goes through the rigamarole to install the InFocus software. And if that guess has a Mac?, Fergetaboutit!
