As we discussed earlier in the review, the JustSling can be used in a variety of situations. To test today we opted to use a high quality (1080p) 13GB MKV file of Robin Hood, released in 2010 and starting Russell Crowe. We are playing the source file via an Alienware M18X laptop, streaming via the Powercolor JustSling to a receiver in an adjacent room. The receiver was hooked directly to a 50 inch Sanyo 1080P television via the HDMI connector.
Powering up both transmitter and receiver only takes a few seconds and immediately they should find each other, after pressing the ‘pair' button. Both sets of green LED lights lit up for us immediately, indicating a successful connection.
Heading into the other room to view the transmitted image (separated by 25 feet apart and two walls) we were pleased to see that the video was streaming, direct to the television. We analysed the image and couldn't see any noticeable reduction in image quality from the source file. We ran some additional tests by connecting the transmitter direct to a Playstation 3 and sending the signal downstairs to another HD television. The quality of the image is certainly without question, but it will depend greatly on the signal strength, walls between the devices and overall distance.
Each device only consumes around 7 watts of power, which certainly won't be a cause for concern if they are left on 24/7.
