WEBVTT 00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:08.639 how many of you have dreamt of a world with no wires 00:00:04.240 --> 00:00:10.080 not managed not hidden away just 00:00:08.639 --> 00:00:14.400 gone well we've made some progress wireless 00:00:12.960 --> 00:00:18.240 keyboards and mice depending on the model are almost indistinguishable from 00:00:16.080 --> 00:00:24.800 their tethered brethren wi-fi six is blazing fast under ideal conditions but 00:00:20.880 --> 00:00:27.119 wireless displays that can run both at a 00:00:24.800 --> 00:00:32.719 high enough resolution and refresh rate for gaming can only be found in unicorn 00:00:30.400 --> 00:00:36.399 fantasyland and hey 00:00:33.840 --> 00:00:40.800 did you see that i knew it holy crap hold on a second here it is 00:00:39.440 --> 00:00:46.640 look at this we finally found it we found the 00:00:42.640 --> 00:00:49.600 entrance unicorn fantasy land baby 00:00:46.640 --> 00:00:53.440 wait this isn't unicorn fancy land how did this message from our sponsor 00:00:51.199 --> 00:00:56.719 get in here ridge wallet bridge mullet has redefined the 00:00:55.199 --> 00:01:00.399 traditional wallet with its compact frame and rfid blocking plates keep your 00:00:58.879 --> 00:01:04.879 wallet bulge down and use offer code Linus to save 10 and get free worldwide 00:01:02.559 --> 00:01:04.879 shipping 00:01:11.760 --> 00:01:19.119 Intel y-die or wireless display technology first launched way back in 00:01:16.479 --> 00:01:25.360 2010 and allowed video to be transmitted from your pc to certain hdtvs but while 00:01:22.640 --> 00:01:29.439 it was low latency it wasn't anywhere near good enough for competitive gaming 00:01:27.520 --> 00:01:34.640 and it got discontinued in favor of miracast anyway like wide-eyed miracast 00:01:32.560 --> 00:01:39.439 piggybacks on the same hardware as your device's wi-fi network connection that 00:01:36.720 --> 00:01:43.600 means it's fairly ubiquitous these days there's tons of devices that support it 00:01:41.840 --> 00:01:48.799 but it also means that both image quality and latency are limited to what 00:01:46.159 --> 00:01:52.640 you can do over Wi-Fi so they suck but the game i'm running right 00:01:51.759 --> 00:02:01.119 now this ain't no game folks one moment please the game i'm running right now is 00:01:57.119 --> 00:02:04.479 at 4k 30 hertz with no compression on 00:02:01.119 --> 00:02:07.040 paper that is a whopping six gigabit per 00:02:04.479 --> 00:02:13.200 second of raw data that is well beyond the theoretical maximum of even the 00:02:08.640 --> 00:02:14.480 latest wi-fi 6 routers and adapters so 00:02:13.200 --> 00:02:19.599 how do peak do now i would like to begin by stating 00:02:17.840 --> 00:02:24.720 that the company that sent us these wireless HDMI kits has done an excellent 00:02:22.319 --> 00:02:29.280 job of trying to look as sketchy as humanly possible their site is nearly 00:02:27.280 --> 00:02:33.040 impossible to find unless you google the product's name specifically the logo on 00:02:31.680 --> 00:02:38.319 their facebook page looks like it was scaled in ms paint their twitter account 00:02:35.360 --> 00:02:42.720 has actually been temporarily restricted and the two reviews of this product on 00:02:40.720 --> 00:02:47.680 the official website were not only both posted on exactly the same date 00:02:45.680 --> 00:02:50.959 but one of them was even written by the general manager of peak dude amazing 00:02:49.760 --> 00:02:56.080 product it really works the same way like HDMI cable that runs in a minute 00:02:53.200 --> 00:03:01.120 there's also basically zero technical explanation for how exactly it works 00:02:58.400 --> 00:03:07.599 with simple claims of a 60 gigahertz band running at 3.96 gigabit per second 00:03:03.680 --> 00:03:08.720 requiring no installation or internet 00:03:07.599 --> 00:03:14.000 wow fortunately we're Linus tech tips so we 00:03:11.599 --> 00:03:19.120 don't need no stinking specifications and the tech that they're using is 00:03:15.599 --> 00:03:22.239 called y gig or 60 gigahertz wireless 00:03:19.120 --> 00:03:24.400 now at 4k 30 hertz they are nearing the 00:03:22.239 --> 00:03:29.360 7 gigabit per second speed limit of the first generation 00:03:25.799 --> 00:03:31.360 802.11 ad which actually led us to 00:03:29.360 --> 00:03:37.519 believe that it might this one right here not this one might be a very early 00:03:34.080 --> 00:03:40.159 product using the 802.11 a y 00:03:37.519 --> 00:03:43.840 second generation y gig standard but given that it was scheduled for a 00:03:41.519 --> 00:03:47.519 working group approval in september 2020 and that there have been other products 00:03:45.680 --> 00:03:52.319 making similar performance claims since back in 2019 it seems unlikely but i 00:03:51.200 --> 00:03:56.319 mean hey 1080p 60 ain't bad let's actually flip 00:03:55.120 --> 00:03:59.599 over to this one for a minute to continue our demo 00:03:58.159 --> 00:04:05.120 i guess this is a good way for us to demo the simplicity of the setup hey 00:04:02.640 --> 00:04:05.120 there we go 00:04:07.519 --> 00:04:14.760 is there supposed to be a light on the other one oh bloody hell i plugged it into the 00:04:11.200 --> 00:04:14.760 onboard HDMI 00:04:16.160 --> 00:04:20.959 30 hertz pretty rough 60 i mean 00:04:19.600 --> 00:04:25.120 console kids would have given anything for 60 FPS not that long ago 00:04:23.840 --> 00:04:28.560 you know what there's just no other way to put it this is impressive you know 00:04:26.880 --> 00:04:32.240 like look ma no lag 00:04:30.479 --> 00:04:36.000 oh wow i still can't aim but that's a whole separate issue honestly though 00:04:34.160 --> 00:04:40.080 guys i don't expect you to take my word for it i'm hardly a counter-strike pro 00:04:38.080 --> 00:04:43.919 but you don't have to because due to a miscommunication with my writer we 00:04:41.600 --> 00:04:48.960 actually have an excess of evidence for how well it works we used both our 00:04:46.160 --> 00:04:54.080 high-speed camera and NVIDIA's ldap display latency tester to validate 00:04:51.440 --> 00:04:58.960 peakdoes claims and if we look at both the average click click-to-photon 00:04:55.680 --> 00:05:01.919 latency of the peakdoe and a regular old 00:04:58.960 --> 00:05:07.759 copper HDMI cable they are shockingly similar but the impressive thing isn't 00:05:04.560 --> 00:05:10.240 the speed at which the data is being 00:05:07.759 --> 00:05:15.120 beamed radio waves through air are actually faster than electronic signals 00:05:12.800 --> 00:05:17.280 through a wire like as logitech loves bringing up about their light speed 00:05:16.320 --> 00:05:22.880 wireless the impressive thing is the seemingly 00:05:19.759 --> 00:05:24.320 negligible processing delay like clearly 00:05:22.880 --> 00:05:29.360 it's a pretty difficult thing to nail down because most wireless HDMI dongles 00:05:26.720 --> 00:05:33.919 that i've tried in the past add 10 or even tens 00:05:30.880 --> 00:05:35.280 of milliseconds of latency and this one 00:05:33.919 --> 00:05:39.919 it just doesn't of course 00:05:37.440 --> 00:05:45.520 that doesn't mean that it's a perfect experience i mean 00:05:41.840 --> 00:05:45.520 here's something you can do with a wire 00:05:46.479 --> 00:05:53.199 look at that picture perfect around the corner 00:05:50.320 --> 00:05:56.479 whereas with the peak dough i mean it's as simple as taking something like 00:05:55.039 --> 00:06:00.800 this cute little pillow from ltteststore.com 00:05:58.479 --> 00:06:03.919 and well actually no seem to handle that okay okay how 00:06:02.319 --> 00:06:06.919 about this water bottle from ltteststore.com 00:06:09.039 --> 00:06:13.860 you told me it was going to break it ploof what if i put it in front of the 00:06:13.039 --> 00:06:19.280 receiver oh oh there it goes 00:06:17.759 --> 00:06:22.400 okay now let's try it let's try the water bottle this is it's a good quality 00:06:21.039 --> 00:06:27.600 water bottle let's wireless transmissions right how 00:06:25.199 --> 00:06:31.759 is that working why is my hand blocking it and the water bottle oh it needs both 00:06:29.840 --> 00:06:34.520 the point is it's fairly easy to stop 00:06:33.520 --> 00:06:40.560 now 802.11 a y is supposed to deliver 00:06:38.319 --> 00:06:45.840 massive improvements to both range and data rates enabling transmission rates 00:06:42.400 --> 00:06:49.440 of 20 to 40 gigabit per second and 00:06:45.840 --> 00:06:50.400 ranges in excess of 300 to 500 meters 00:06:49.440 --> 00:06:56.160 that is absolutely incredible and could allow 4k 00:06:53.599 --> 00:07:00.160 high refresh rate or 8k video transmission but until we see some 00:06:57.919 --> 00:07:04.880 actual products it might as well be in unicorn fantasyland the real question 00:07:02.639 --> 00:07:08.560 though is if y gig has been around for over a decade and you get basically the 00:07:06.960 --> 00:07:13.759 same latency results as you would with one of these why are we still using 00:07:10.880 --> 00:07:18.720 cables like cave people this article from pc world called it pretty well back 00:07:16.000 --> 00:07:23.599 in 2013 when they said it's not going to replace your wi-fi anytime soon 60 00:07:21.759 --> 00:07:27.919 gigahertz wireless has a naturally shorter range than your typical wi-fi so 00:07:25.680 --> 00:07:33.919 that mini one we showed you guys only gets to five meters of range and costs 00:07:30.400 --> 00:07:36.160 200 us dollars and to get the 25 meter 00:07:33.919 --> 00:07:40.479 advertised results of this one which i'm calling the chungus you need high gain 00:07:38.639 --> 00:07:44.000 beam forming phased array antennas to boost the power we don't know how much 00:07:42.800 --> 00:07:47.039 this one's going to cost in north america because peakdoe is 00:07:46.240 --> 00:07:52.160 peak random when it comes to communication 00:07:49.759 --> 00:07:56.400 but it does 4k so it's higher bandwidth it has a built-in usb hub with power 00:07:54.240 --> 00:08:01.919 delivery so you can single cable dock to your laptop with it and it has the same 00:07:59.440 --> 00:08:06.879 negligible latency performance as the other one so i would have said not cheap 00:08:04.720 --> 00:08:12.240 except that the pricing you win on what was it like aliexpress or something 00:08:09.360 --> 00:08:16.080 uh yeah andy found it for 218 us dollars so i don't know why the other one even 00:08:13.440 --> 00:08:20.240 exists anyway let's start walking shall we and see how far we make it okay let's 00:08:17.919 --> 00:08:24.080 go on uh flow plane you guys aren't subscribed to Floatplane yet you gotta 00:08:21.759 --> 00:08:28.560 get on flow plane there's definitely lots of exclusives lately so go check it 00:08:26.000 --> 00:08:33.200 out here let's play an exclusive all right david versus golinas 00:08:31.599 --> 00:08:38.399 do we have a tape measure by any chance or are we just winging it ah okay 00:08:36.080 --> 00:08:43.440 is this still working i mean this has got to be like 10 meters at this point 00:08:40.800 --> 00:08:47.680 how far are we wait yeah 25 meters is pretty far 00:08:44.640 --> 00:08:50.000 holy bananes 00:08:47.680 --> 00:08:54.880 it's yup it's pretty far away hold on a second still going fine just fine wow 00:08:52.959 --> 00:08:59.920 that's freaking awesome like this is really far i see why we uh decided to do 00:08:57.839 --> 00:09:04.560 this outside oh no it's working perfectly it's just 00:09:02.240 --> 00:09:09.279 the video that stopped oh no i dropped the wi-fi oh 00:09:07.040 --> 00:09:14.320 yeah all right fine we'll just here we go 00:09:10.399 --> 00:09:14.320 it's still working um 00:09:14.560 --> 00:09:21.279 hello can you stop working at some point please 00:09:18.000 --> 00:09:24.880 this is a lot of wireless HDMI here 00:09:21.279 --> 00:09:24.880 is it dead yet come on 00:09:25.279 --> 00:09:30.399 oh there it goes oh that's definitely 25 00:09:28.640 --> 00:09:33.120 meters that's nutty i mean no wonder the thing has a fan in the 00:09:32.320 --> 00:09:38.000 back to keep the transmitter cool this right 00:09:35.440 --> 00:09:41.839 here ladies and gentlemen active cooling on your HDMI cable 00:09:40.080 --> 00:09:45.760 kind of wish i could take it apart and see what makes it tick but there 00:09:43.760 --> 00:09:50.000 wasn't any obvious way to get it apart without like 00:09:47.440 --> 00:09:53.920 damaging it and there's another big disappointment that hopefully peakdoe 00:09:51.680 --> 00:10:01.120 can address in the future despite this unit being rated for 4k 30 hertz which 00:09:57.519 --> 00:10:04.240 it works great for what it can't do is 00:10:01.120 --> 00:10:06.640 1080p 120 hertz even though 00:10:04.240 --> 00:10:10.720 theoretically that has the same bandwidth requirements we tried manually 00:10:09.279 --> 00:10:16.720 changing display settings for NVIDIA control panel and it tries fails and 00:10:13.920 --> 00:10:21.360 reverts back to 60 hertz every time if they could fix that 1080p 120 would make 00:10:19.279 --> 00:10:26.320 this easy to recommend for gamers who want to have their tv across the room 00:10:22.880 --> 00:10:28.480 from their pc with no wires or have a 00:10:26.320 --> 00:10:34.240 projector up in the ceiling without running an HDMI cable lots of things 00:10:30.959 --> 00:10:36.800 actually and clearly it can be done the 00:10:34.240 --> 00:10:41.839 htc vive pro vr headset runs at a whopping 2880 by 00:10:38.600 --> 00:10:43.680 1690 hertz but for whatever reason 00:10:41.839 --> 00:10:47.839 pretty much no one has bothered to bring high refresh rate wireless to the 00:10:45.440 --> 00:10:51.920 desktop though that isn't the end of the world for pikto there are lots of other 00:10:50.399 --> 00:10:55.920 applications that you could use it for like sending a camera signal to a 00:10:53.600 --> 00:10:59.680 monitor or when you want crisp and precise demonstrations on a bigger 00:10:58.240 --> 00:11:04.399 screen without the hassle of staying plugged in since the latency really does 00:11:02.079 --> 00:11:08.720 feel comparable to a cable but there's a huge asterisk and that's the 00:11:06.800 --> 00:11:13.120 interruptions or choppiness that we noticed either when obstructing the line 00:11:11.120 --> 00:11:19.040 of sight or if the transmitter and receiver aren't aligned very well now 00:11:16.079 --> 00:11:22.800 the big 4k unit does improve significantly on the small one but 00:11:21.279 --> 00:11:26.320 without knowing the cost of this thing it's hard to recommend simply going out 00:11:25.040 --> 00:11:30.000 and buying it it's definitely cool technology though 00:11:28.560 --> 00:11:33.920 and that is why we decided to make a video about it 00:11:31.680 --> 00:11:38.000 it actually works really well you know what else works 00:11:35.680 --> 00:11:42.720 this segue to squarespace squarespace is great no joke we actually use it both 00:11:39.920 --> 00:11:46.720 our linusmediagroup.com and ltxexpo.com websites were built
