Vivitek, the leading manufacturer of the widest range of projectors, announces the Wi-Fi adapter for the Qumi Q5 projector. This accessory adds another topical feature to the list of highlights of the pico market, making the Qumi Q5 a full-fledged participant in wireless networks.
Reminder: The Qumi Q5 is the highly anticipated follow-up to the legendary Qumi line. It differs from its predecessor by increased brightness and contrast – 500 ANSI lumens and 3 500:1, respectively, improved lens, increased internal memory of 4 GB and full-size HDMI v1 interface.3.
Of course, the upgrade has also affected the firmware, which is now, thanks to the built-in Internet browser and new Wi-Fi adapter, has become a full-fledged network operating system.
The Wi-Fi USB adapter for the Qumi Q5 is compatible with PC and MAC computers, works with tablets, smartphones and other wireless network users. It’s ready to go almost instantly: Just plug it into the Qumi Q5 USB port and the projector, like a typical notebook PC, will automatically get an IP address from your home Wi-Fi hotspot.
Now you can display the multimedia content of your home PCs and mobile devices on the screen – as easy as with a “flash drive” or a hard disk connected directly to the Qumi.
But it’s not just the versatility of access and ease of playback that characterizes the new adapter. It lets you turn your Qumi Q5 into a stand-alone, mobile, PC-free Internet-surfing machine: the remote control even features a dedicated button to activate the “mouse” on-screen cursor. We can say that the Wi-Fi adapter turns the Qumi Q5 into a kind of “projector” multimedia computer.

It provides three times the coverage than its predecessor, data encryption 64/128-bit WEP, WPA , WPA2 and WPS, and is able to save your battery power with the optional Qumi Q5, supporting advanced power-saving modes.
The adapter is exclusively for use with the Qumi Q5, not interchangeable with the Qumi Q2.
