Disconnected And Amplified: Wireless Microphones

| Posted in Computers |

0

Wireless microphones work well when it is clearly defined what they are for. The purpose dictates the kind of wireless mic needed.
Wireless microphones work by using different frequencies, standard or transmission technologies to replace the cable. In a wired microphone, the cable is used to transmit sound from the receiver in the microphone to an amplifying or recording device. The sound travels as an electric signal through the cable then gets converted back to sound waves. In wireless microphones, the electric signal for sound travels through the air in the form of waves or frequencies to a transmitter.
Wireless microphones can use radiowaves such as those in the UHF and VHF frequencies, FM, AM or other digital schemes. Some low cost models even use infrared, which required that the transmitter have an unobstructed line to the microphone.
There are two main kinds of wireless microphones in use today. One is the handheld type, which comes with its own battery, and transmitter while the other is a body pack, which has the battery pack and transmitter separate from the receiver of the microphone, which may come in the form of a lapel, headset or others.
There are several things to consider when choosing a wireless microphone. One has to consider what the mic will be used for. Since wireless microphones are often used for productions, shoots and live performances, the type of setting it will be used in will help determine what kind of wireless microphone to get. A body pack with a lapel mic would be ideal if the purpose is to use a wireless mic without it being too obvious. A handheld wireless mic could be used if it is not important whether the microphone is seen.
Since modern wireless microphones use frequencies to transmit sound, it should be considered how many microphones would be used at the time. Several microphones used together may result in a mix up of the signal. Wireless microphones that enable the user to configure the frequency would be ideal so that there will be no crossing of signals and that all will work properly.
In using wireless microphones, one has to consider the fact that some spots or areas inhibit the use of frequencies. These spots are called dead spots, and there may be some in the area where the mics will be used.
One concern with wireless microphones is the range. Some wireless microphones have a limited range, which restricts the movement of the one using it. Higher end wireless mics can provide users with a greater range of movement because of its stronger signal and frequency.
Another concern when choosing wireless mics is the battery life. Since wireless mics come equipped with its own battery packs and are not plugged directly into any outlet. One has to check the standard battery life of the wireless mics to ensure that they can last for the duration of the desired use.
The type of wireless mic on the market comes down to two main categories. The first is the consumer or prosumer level of wireless microphone. These products enable enthusiasts, amateurs and beginners to try using wireless microphones for non-professional use. Consumer grade wireless microphones are often sold as a complete set and most often come in the form of handheld mics with charger and receiver.
The professional grade wireless microphones are those meant for professional use. They are often sold individually as components that can be added to an existing set-up such as a digital video or recording set-up. These often cost more but make up for it with better features and changeable settings.

How to Boost Up the Wireless Bandwidth for Your Wireless Internet Camera

I am currently using DSL Router with 802.11N network. So is my notebook. My notebook is using the Wireless-N adapter as the notebook’s build-in wireless adapter comes with 802.11g standard. I have been looking around to get a wireless internet camera with 802.11N network. The purpose is to maximise the bandwidth for my wireless internet camera without any lagging of the video signal. However,currently, on the market, it seems that there is no 802.11N standard wireless internet camera available yet as far as I am concerned. Most of the internet camera comes with wireless or wired R45 network connection and are in 802.11b or 802.11g network. I have checked with the Dlink,,Linksys and other distributor and find that there is no offer for 802.11N. SInce I needed the wireless internet camera urgently, I have no other alternative but to purchase the wireless internet camera with 802.11g standard.

I have purchased the Linksys WVC200 Wireless -G PTZ internet camera as showed above. To know more about this product,Click here. This camera provides both wireless and wired network connection. It has high quality video,flexible control remotely with Pan, tilt , and zoom. It works terrific.The price is also quite competitive. There is not much of video lagging when you control the internet camera remotely from outside of your office provided the camera is connected in the wired network to your router by mean of R45 cable. However, if you connects the internet camera to the router wirelessly, and you try to control the wireless camera remotely outside from office, there seems to be some video lagging problem. The reason why I need to do this is due to my router is not in the same room as the wireless internet camera.Moreover, the room where the wireless camera is doesn’t have the network point (Rj45 socket). I knew there is no much I could do as there is a limitation of the 802.11g network. It can only achieve a maximum throughput of 54 Mbytes wirelessly no method how good tuning you can do with the camera resolution and other features. However, desperately to solve this video lagging’s probem, i checked in the market to see if there is any gadgets that could help to solve this issue. Then I came cross a product called HomePlug AV Ethernet Adapter from Shiro which eventually solve my problem. It boost up my wireless internet camera signal up to 200 Mbytes which resolve the lagging problem. This adapter also save you the hassle of the physical network wiring. It can also be use to connect between any network devices ie. printer server,wireless game adapter, wireless camera etc to the router wirelessly. The adapters work in a pairs.Let assume that the wireless router is in room A and the wireless camera is in room B. In room A, you will connect one end of the adapter1 to the power source. From the adapter1, link its network connector (using RJ45 cable) to one of your router port.From room B, do the same thing, connect the adapter2 to the power source.From adapter2, link its network connector (using RJ45 cable) to the wireless internet camera. The adapter is not strictly to be used for router only.Basically, you can connect remotely between any network devices together. The adapter make use of your in-house power circuit to transforms into a high speed wireless broadband and network backbone for transmission of digital data, voice, audio and video. In this way, the adapter allows me to connect my internet camera wireless without short chain the bandwidth performance of my DSL network. The model which I purchase is Shiro HL109E as showed on the right. I believe there may be some similar product available.However, so far only this product offer the Powerline Networking up to 200Mbps.

Wireless Router

Even as you’re reading this, you are probably sitting at a computer that is confined to a particular part of your home, say your bedroom or living room. But, what if you want to use a laptop or computer from anywhere in your house? That’s where a wireless router comes into play. A wireless router is basically a network device that lets you connect several computers to the internet without using a cable, but by using wireless access points, or WLAN. In essence, wireless routers allow the freedom of several users to be able to access the internet. Plus, wireless routers also free you from messy wires. Basically, a wireless router works using signals that have the same radio frequency range as the wireless network card installed in the PC. The significant feature of this exchange of signal system is that both the router and the network card function on the same radio frequency range, thus allowing the transmission of data to and fro, between the devices. In other words, the wireless router uses radio frequency range signals between devices instead of physical wiring connections to transmit signals. Being an intelligent device, a wireless router can determine whether a signal needs to be transmitted to a local computer on the internet or to the internet. The signal’s strength is dependent on the manufacturer along with the internet signal strength that the ISP provides. A wireless network has the added functionality of providing security to the network with firewalls, security keys, and so on. It is not difficult to set up a wireless network. All you need to do is connect the wireless router to your internet connection, and then just set up the drivers in your computer or laptop. You need not worry about anything, because the wireless router that you buy will come along with the drivers, manuals, and CDs, which will help you with the software and driver set up and the configurations. Clearly, there are several advantages that a wireless router provides. The term ‘wireless’ is what it is all about. With a computer connected to a phone line or a cable, you get the sense of being tethered to a machine that is in turn tethered to a fixture or wall. This entails you sitting at one spot for a long time in order to do your work or access the internet. But by fixing a wireless router, you can roam about all over your house, or even building, without having to remain connected to a cable modem or phone jack. This way, if for instance you prefer working outside, you will have the freedom to go out onto the deck, without needing to worry about setting up outdoor cables. If you feel like strolling down to your favorite café for a mug of latte, you can head straight there and surf the net while you wait for the brew to be made. These days, even airports allow you to surf the net without wires while waiting for your plane. Simply put, as long as you have a wireless router in place, especially a long range one, you can log on and surf the net practically from anywhere. Not having to be tethered to a wall is particularly beneficial for employees or self-employed business people. Basically, any location can become your virtual office. With services and stores equipped with wireless routers, it’s easy to set up shop at any convenient restaurant like McDonalds or Panera. And in towns and cities with wireless facilities, access will spell freedom from the confines of a cubicle or tiny office. These days, more and more companies are allowing their employees the option of working from home. Even as far as the sales force of a company is concerned, they can go from place to place without needing to return to the headquarters. Since the nearest Starbucks can be turned into a virtual office, business updates and sales reporting can be carried out via a laptop or PDA. This will mean more time being spent in the sales effort and less time being spent in the office. The broadband router wireless VoIP technology is another great innovation. With this device, you can connect to the internet, using any ordinary phone device. You can then make calls to anybody in the world via your internet connection. So do wireless communications have any drawbacks? Unfortunately, they do. Even though a great deal of flexibility and convenience is offered by this technology, some tradeoffs are there. A wireless network that is shared by all the users of a particular area has less bandwidth. This is felt most often where high-bandwidth multimedia applications or heavy file transfers are used. In addition, it is more difficult to secure wireless networks, plus, the installation of networking wiring to points of access requires coordination and long lead times with some combination of facilities maintenance and OIT. Hence, if you are thinking of going in for a wireless router you need to take the drawbacks into consideration. Before buying a wireless router, it is best to check out the reviews about various brands in the market. There are many reliable and well-known brands such as Belkin wireless router, Netgear wireless router, and Linksys wireless router. Check out online to see which one will suit your needs, whether at home or in the office. Wireless routers make life far more convenient and easier. You can go anywhere, without being restricted by wires and still be able to access the internet.

Laptop Wireless Connection for Your Computer

Wireless technology depends on wireless access points or a wireless router to send and receive these signals wirelessly to and from a laptop through the wireless device attached to it. A practical distance limitation exists between a laptop’s wireless connection interface and the nearest wireless router or wireless access point for wireless technology to work.

Laptops can be used to access the Internet and connect to Bluetooth enabled devices and wireless office networks wirelessly. Wireless technology uses RF signals transmitted over air. A wireless device is attached through a laptop wireless connection interface to a laptop.In the case of both wireless Internet access and wireless access to a wireless office network from a wireless laptop, this distance limitation is normally 300 feet.This can be extended through an external wireless RF signal booster antenna attached through a suitable interface on a laptop to about 3 miles. This antenna can also be termed as a laptop wireless booster. The wireless antenna uses signal gain control technology to extend the range of transmission of RF signals.

The wireless LAN or wireless LAN card alternatively on the laptop needs to be switched on and correctly configured as some of the prerequisite conditions for this connectivity.An option for laptop wireless connection to the Internet can be an external USB wireless modem attached on a USB port of a laptop.Bluetooth technology is a special application of wireless technology. It uses short-range RF signals at 2.4 GHz to achieve wireless signal transmission within a distance ceiling of 10 meters.Through Bluetooth technology, a laptop equipped with an integrated Bluetooth adaptor (laptop wireless connection interface) can be wirelessly connected to Bluetooth enabled cellphones or barcode readers or to a Bluetooth base station within the prescribed distance limitation and data or files shared or transferred mutually between the synchronized devices at the two ends of the connection..For the above to be achieved in practice, Bluetooth adaptors on devices at both ends of the connection need to be switched on and the necessary password permissions assigned on these devices.The major advantage of a laptop wireless connection is ‘on the move’ seamless connectivity to the Internet, to wireless office networks, and to similarly equipped Bluetooth devices from a laptop. This provides convenience and independence to a mobile laptop user.The benefits of a laptop wireless connection are manifold. Some of them include complete avoidance of unwieldy, expensive, and problematic wired connectivity on a laptop to achieve the same tasks, and wireless connection sharing facility among two or more laptops. In the case of wireless connectivity to an office network from a laptop, wireless LAN on the laptop connects to a wireless office network through the internal antenna of an onboard integrated wireless LAN if so available on the laptop or alternatively through the antenna on the wireless LAN card if so available and inserted on the PCMCIA slot of a laptop.

Making Older Desktop Pc Wireless

| Posted in Computers |

Okay so your looking for information on making a desktop PC wireless. You’ll be happy to know that just about any desktop PC can support a wireless internet connection. Even older desktops can connect to the internet via a wireless internet connection. First, make sure your desktop PC is in good working order. What I mean by good working order is just to make sure the desktop PC is free of unwanted spyware and other harmful files which could make a desktop computer’s wireless connection slow down to a crawl. If you plan on making an older desktop PC wireless then you should really scan your computer for spyware and infections because the last thing you want is something stealing all your system resources when you don’t have very much to begin with.WHATS NEEDED TO MAKE DESKTOP PC WIRELESS Let’s start by assuming you already have an internet service (not dial-up) and are cruising the web with ease. You should have a cable modem connected to your desktop PC. If this is the case, then you’re ready to begin your wireless setup. If you don’t have an existing internet service and a cable modem then you’d better stop reading this because a wireless internet connection on your desktop PC can’t be accomplished legally without them.MAKING PC WIRELESS – WIRELESS ROUTER First, before anything, you need to purchase a wireless router. If you’ve never owned a wireless router before then grabbing the most expensive model probably won’t benefit you all that much unless you plan on receiving a wireless internet connection from inside of a multiple story building. In this case a more expensive router will offer a few features that are worth the extra money. Remember when you go ahead and purchase a wireless router in hopes of making your desktop computer wireless you’ll be happy to know that you’ll be halfway done with your mission for wireless internet on your desktop. The only thing left is a wireless PC adapter.MAKING PC WIRELESS – WIRELESS DESKTOP ADAPTERS It’s actually very easy to add a wireless desktop adapter to your comupter’s arsenal of computing tools. There are two different types of wireless networking components that you can choose from. They are as follows. 1. Wireless USB adapter 2. Wireless PCI adapter *both wireless devices are packaged with a setup CD-ROM which quickly installs everything needed to configure and use your PC’s wireless internet connection. A wireless USB adapter is the easiest way to make a desktop PC wireless. The cons of using a wireless USB adapter are the signal strength which is considerably weaker than a wireless PCI card. Most people experience no problems with signal strength as long as they stay within range of the wireless router that’s sending out the wireless signal. Basically, installing a wireless USB adapter plugs into any available USB port. In reality, it only takes a matter of seconds to plug in a USB adapter and start using the internet without the wires. The second wireless device that can make desktop computers wireless is called a wireless PCI (PCI = white slots inside a computer) card adapter. This device enables high performance wireless connectivity for your desktop PC with extended range. Installation is not as hard as you might have thought. Simply remove the side panel from your desktop PC and insert the wireless PCI card into any one of the white slots inside. There is only one way the card can be installed. Reading the directions that are included when you purchase your wireless networking device is by far the best thing you can do to ensure a smooth installation and launch of your wireless connection.MAKING DESKTOP PC WIRELESSMORE WIRELESS HOW TO INFORMATION In the future I will most likely go into further detail about each networking component. Check out this page if you have any further questions about  making a desktop pc wireless.

Faster Streaming Media With Esr-9750g Long Range Wireless Router

| Posted in Computers |

0

Up until recently, consumer wireless router technology was unable to keep up with the demand for wireless media streaming or high capacity long wireless network. While watching your favorite back-episode of Heroes, the video feed might periodically stop to buffer more data. In the middle of a relaxing Sunday afternoon, your wireless streaming music slows down and, eventually, drops out. And, sometimes the signal is completely unattainable, making it impossible to watch an interesting podcast or hold an important video conference.

Luckily, a new breed of wireless routers has appeared on the market. Using the new 802.11n platform, these long range routers exceed the performance standards of the older 802.11 a/b or g technologies. These models deliver transmissions up to 6x faster than even the newest of the g routers. Specifically, the 802.11n wireless routers are able to perform at a rate up to 300mbps (megabits per second) versus the previous 54mbps (megabits per second). Faster speed means faster buffering, and smoother wireless video streaming. In the nutshell, speed of wireless router is totally proportional to the wireless video streaming and buffering. People can also use long range wireless network within or outside of the home with EnGenius’ Long-Range’ products like smart antennas, range extenders etc.

Leading these new routers is the EnGenius long-range wireless multimedia router: ESR-9750G. Since 1999, EnGenius Technologies has been developing wireless communication products for the business market. Using their expertise in that high-volume digital environment, the engineers have created a consumer wireless router that can easily handle the demand for home wireless streaming media. These long range wireless routers promise high speed with flaw less flow of data to satisfy your ever surging demand for the speed and streaming media.The EnGenius ESR-9750G uses the new 802.11n standard technology, which allows the device to operate at those remarkably faster speeds. And, like most of the new wireless routers, the EnGenius model can communicate on the 40 MHz bandwidth channel, which has the ability to carry double the data as the commonly used 20 MHz bandwidth. With the ESR-9750G, you can even set the router to auto select the bandwidth channel for optimal performance.Aware of the poor reliability of home wireless routers, the engineers at EnGenius capitalized on their expertise by making a few powerful additions to the basic 802.11n technology.   Specifically, the ESR-9750G has three standard upgradeable Smart Antennas with MIMO (Multiple In, Multiple Out) Technology, a Universal Repeater feature (also known as a wireless range extender) and QoS (Quality of Service).  This wireless range extender accepts the signals to throws them at the rapid fire rate using the access points.To ensure uninterrupted communication, the ESR-9750G has three smart antennas using MIMO Technology. These smart antennas are able to mediate the transmissions between wireless devices and the ESR router. Even with multiple communications, the antennas are able to prioritize throughput to ensure smooth streaming results. The smart antennas are compatible and can ensure accurate streaming results.If you are listening to wireless streaming music with Vista, and your roommate is playing World of Warcraft on his own wireless laptop, the smart antennas will act as digital “traffic cops” preventing one signal from interfering with the other. While the MIMO Technology is not unique to the ESR models, most routers in its class have only two antennas. More wireless antennas and wireless range extender result in a better streaming experience since more data can be handled at one time.Also unique to the ESR models is something called the Universal Repeater Feature (also known as a wireless range extender); this feature increases the range of wireless communication by redistributing an existing wireless signal. The EnGenius’s Wireless Range Extender is the easy way to increase the effective coverage of your wireless network. Unlike adding a traditional access point to your network to expand wireless coverage, the EnGenius’s Wireless Range Extender does not need to be connected to the network by a data cable. Just put it within range of your main access point or wireless router, and it “bounces” the signals out to remote wireless devices. Dead spots are virtually eliminated since the device is able to send out a beacon to all corners of your home. So if the wireless router is in a home office in the basement, Mom can still watch home videos over YouTube on her laptop from the comfort of her bedroom.And, if your home is particularly large, or you just want the added assurance of uninterrupted wireless streaming media, EnGenius has made their antennas detachable and upgradeable. Such antennas are router friendly also. You can purchase a more powerful set that further increases the range and sensitivity of your router.In addition to efficient wireless communication, the new 802.11n routers improve performance for all your networked devices – including VoIP, network attached storage and, of course, wireless gaming systems. With QoS (Quality of Service) Technology, the wireless router is able to prioritize all forms of digital communication. As expected, the EnGenius models use QoS, making them a very friendly addition to homes with multiple networked devices and intensive use of digital streaming media.While there are many limiting factors affecting the quality of your wireless streaming media experience, your router no longer needs to be one of them. No, you cannot change the speed or effectiveness of your service provider. And you cannot change the number of people downloading the same HD video at the same time. However, you can change the strength and performance of your home wireless network, simply by upgrading to an ESR-9750G wireless router or through wireless range extender. Eliminate the headaches and give yourself an optimal environment for all your wireless streaming media – from digital music and videos, to games and beyond.

What is Home Wireless Networking?

| Posted in Computers |

Home wireless networking is just what it sounds like — a way of creating networks without any wires within your home! If this sounds exciting to you, then read on.With a home wireless network, you can create radio connections between computers that let them communicate and connect to the Internet without you having to go to all the trouble of connecting them with wires. The computers don’t even need to have a clear path for the signal, as the wireless signal can go through walls and between floors easily.Where Did It Come From?The story of wireless networking is a rather strange one. It is basically an application of a technology called frequency hopping which was, believe it or not, invented by the actress Hedy Lamarr and a musician named George Antheil, back in the 1940s. Seriously, do a web search — I promise I’m not pulling your leg here.They received a patent for their invention, which was intended to help in the war effort.  Hedy was Jewish, but had been made to hide it and socialise with Hitler as a young woman — she had to drug her husband and run away to London to escape her native Austria. The importance of what they’d done, however, wasn’t recognised until many years later.The U.S. military adopted the technique in the ’60s, using it during the Cuban Missile Crisis. Hedy never saw any money from it as the patent had expired (don’t worry, she was a film star!), but she was given a Pioneer Award by the Electronic Frontier Foundation in 1997, three years before her death.Wireless Network at Home.When most people talk about wireless networks, they are talking about wireless LANs (local area networks). A local area network doesn’t mean that it covers your whole neighbourhood — the ‘local area’ in question can be only one building, such as your house. So if you want wireless networking in your home, you want a home wireless LAN.Once people have wireless in their home, they always seem to act as if there’s been an absolute miracle. After years of drilling holes in the walls and running wires all over the place, suddenly seeing them gone is really amazing.Home Wireless Network Myths.Home wireless networking is expensive. Well, home wireless networking used to be expensive when it was new, but now the prices have come way down thanks to competition and mass production. There are hundreds of manufacturers of wireless equipment, with something for every budget. Your costs will depend on how many computers you want to connect and how far apart they are, but a typical family should still be able to do it for less than $100 overall. If you’re willing to leave one of the computers on whenever you’re using the other one, you could do it for as little as $20! Best of all, once you’ve spend the money, there’s nothing more to pay after that.Wireless networking your home is hard. Again, this myth is a holdover from the early days of wireless. It used to be very difficult, with you needing to fiddle endlessly with the configuration on each computer just to get the simplest things to work. Now, though, windows supports wireless out of the box, and setting it up is easier than ever. You can usually plug in what you’ve bought, put the CD in the computer and then sit back and watch it all work perfectly!A home wireless network is insecure. You might think it’s dangerous to have all your personal data floating around in the air for anyone to read. Well, if you want, it’s dead easy to enable encryption for your wireless signals. It’s already difficult for outsiders to intercept wireless signals at all, and they certainly won’t be able to decode them as well.Not Just at Home.It was home users that were quickest to adopt wireless technology, willing to pay any amount to finally be free of needing to run wires all over their house. Since then, though, the technology has started to spread to offices, universities, and all sorts of other places.Chains of coffee shops and cafes have found that their customers will stay for hours if they offer wireless Internet access, and it’s also becoming more common in hotels andairports. This means that once you set up a laptop for wireless, it becomes far more portable than it ever was before.

What Are Wireless Laptops?

| Posted in Computers |

Laptop computers were the first step in the world of wireless computing and mobile computing. There has been much progress between the first laptops and the laptops of today. When laptops were first introduced, they were quite bulky and expensive too. In fact, the bulk and the cost of the laptops did not allow everyone to have a laptop even when they wanted them to. Also, the laptops of yore were not as powerful as the laptops today are and therefore they used to be bought by only those people who would actually need a portable computer.Laptops are basically wireless devices and they are portable almost anywhere. They have a battery life that allows the user to use them as wireless laptops, once the battery is exhausted, the user just has to plug the laptop into the charging point, and the laptop can be used as a proper computer.Today, wireless laptops are available for all kinds of uses. One can buy a wireless laptop for business and personal use. With the immense progress in mobile computing, one can even buy a laptop for gaming purposes.There are several companies that offer different types of laptop computers for different types of clients. If you wish a wireless laptop, you should first decide the reason for which you need to buy the laptop. There is a laptop for each different type of requirement. If you wish a wireless laptop for business purposes, you would have to look at the business models, which come equipped with all the software that you would require to run your business applications. If you are looking for a laptop for your home applications, you can easily get a laptop that has the software and resources to run your entire home based software application.Of course, the most expensive types of laptops are the laptops that are made for gaming. The gaming laptops not only require a special graphics card, but also a heavy duty RAM, that brings up the cost of the laptop by several thousand dollars.
