In a modern EU/US conference room, meetings move in short bursts. One person pulls up a deck, another jumps in with a spreadsheet, and someone else wants to show a quick demo. Everyone expects the big screen to keep up. In real rooms, the slowdown usually happens before the content even starts. A presenter reaches for a dongle, realizes it’s the wrong one, borrows another, then walks to the display to swap the cable. The screen goes black for a moment, the input needs to be changed, and the meeting loses its pace. The real difference between wired and wireless isn’t simply whether a picture appears. It’s how easily people can share, switch, and keep the discussion moving.
1. Common Meeting Room Pain Points
1.1 Handoffs Break the Rhythm
Most meetings are not “one presenter, one cable.” They’re a chain of quick handoffs. Someone finishes their slide; the next person is already halfway through a point and needs the screen now. With a wired setup, the handoff becomes a physical sequence. The cable comes out of one laptop. The next laptop gets plugged in. Then the room waits while the display finds the signal again. If the display has multiple HDMI ports, someone often pauses to guess which one is active. If it’s wrong, they click the remote, cycle inputs, and try again. Those steps sound small, but they happen in full view of the room, so the interruption feels bigger than it is.
1.2 BYOD Makes “One Cable Fits All” Unrealistic
Bring-your-own-device sounds simple until you see what shows up in a real room. A few people have HDMI ports, others are USB-C only, and someone has a laptop that needs a specific adapter. A mini PC might be brought in for a demo. A camera might be used to show live product detail. A media box might be added for a video clip. When this happens, the room’s success depends on the one accessory that is easiest to forget or easiest to break. A loose adapter can cause a flicker that looks like a “signal problem,” when it’s really just a connector that isn’t seated tightly.
1.3 The Room Layout Makes Cables Awkward
Long tables are designed for collaboration, but they make wired sharing feel inconvenient. If the HDMI connection point is near the display, the presenter has to sit in a specific seat or lean forward with a cable stretched across the table. If the cable is routed under the table, people still end up tracing it with their hands, trying to find the correct end. If the cable runs across the surface, it gets pulled, bumped, or slid under notebooks. Even when it works, it makes the room look less clean and reduces flexibility in where people can sit.
1.4 Small Issues Become Repeated IT Tickets
The delay during a meeting is only one part of the cost. Over time, wired rooms generate the same reports again and again. The screen says “no signal.” Audio plays from the laptop instead of the room speakers. The wrong input is selected. The adapter is not recognized. The HDMI port is loose because it’s been used hundreds of times. Each issue is small, but the repetition turns it into a support burden.
2. The Wired Experience in a Meeting Room
2.1 What Wired Does Well
Wired HDMI is still the most straightforward method when the room is built around a fixed source. If there is a dedicated conference PC or a permanent dock, the workflow is simple. The cable is already in place, the input is known, and the display behaves predictably. The signal path is direct, and cursor movement and animations feel immediately responsive. For teams that want a standard process that is easy to train, wired is familiar and easy to document.
2.2 What Wired Feels Like In a Dynamic Room
Wired starts to feel slow when the room is used as a shared space. The main issue is not picture quality. It is the number of steps required every time the presenter changes. People stand up, walk to the display, reach behind the screen, and handle the connectors. If the cable is slightly bent or the adapter sits at an angle, the connection may look “plugged in” but still fail. That leads to extra steps like unplugging and reseating the connector, turning the display input back and forth, or restarting the laptop’s output.
There is also a long-term wear problem that teams notice only after months of use. When an HDMI port is constantly plugged and unplugged, it can loosen. At first it’s fine, then it becomes sensitive. The cable needs to be held in a certain position. Someone bumps the table, and the screen drops. At that point, the wired link may still be the “best” technically, but the real experience becomes less stable because the physical connection is being stressed.
2.3 When Wired Is the Best Choice
Wired sharing is often the right choice when the room rarely switches sources. If most meetings run from one main device, or the company prefers a fixed-room PC workflow, wired stays simple. In those rooms, the time spent switching is low, and the stability benefit is easy to keep.
3. The Wireless Experience in a Meeting Room
3.1 “Wireless Display” Can Mean Two Different Workflows.
When teams say “wireless,” they often think of OS-level mirroring. That approach can be convenient, but it can also change from day to day based on software updates, device models, and how busy the wireless environment is. In some offices, it works smoothly. In others, the same meeting can have different results depending on who is presenting and where they are seated. That inconsistency is why many teams look specifically for wireless HDMI options rather than general wireless display tools.
A dedicated wireless HDMI transmitter and receiver is closer to an HDMI cable replacement. Instead of relying on system mirroring, it creates a point-to-point wireless link designed around HDMI sources and HDMI displays. The goal is to keep the process predictable. Presenters shouldn’t have to open settings menus, search for devices, or troubleshoot casting permissions in the middle of a meeting.
3.2 What Using P20 Looks Like Step By Step
With Lemorele P20, the receiver (RX) is typically installed once and left connected to the room display. The RX plugs into the display’s HDMI input. Then it is powered using a stable 5V/2A source. Once that side is in place, the room is “ready” in the same way a wired room is ready, but without the cable handoff at the display.
When a presenter wants to share, they connect the transmitter (TX) to the HDMI output of the source device. That can be a laptop, a desktop, a media box, or demo hardware. Then they power the TX with 5V/2A. This power step matters because many HDMI ports do not provide enough power to run an active transmitter. Once TX and RX are powered, the link establishes and the screen appears. In a typical HDMI workflow, no driver installation or app setup is required.
In a real meeting, the practical difference is what happens with people’s bodies and attention. Presenters can stay seated. They don’t need to walk to the display. They don’t need to bend behind the screen to find a port. The meeting keeps moving because the “sharing step” happens at the table, where the discussion already is.
3.3 Performance That Matches Meeting Needs
P20 targets conference room requirements instead of extreme specs. It supports 1920×1080 at 60 Hz, which keeps text readable and motion smooth for slides, dashboards, charts, and video clips. It uses a dual-band design (2.4G/5.8G) with an 802.11ac-based approach to improve stability in different environments. In open space, the range can reach up to 50 meters, while real-world distance depends on obstacles, interference, and building materials. Light partitions like wood, glass, and drywall are usually easier to work through than thick concrete walls.
Wireless HDMI also introduces latency, but for meeting use, the bigger time saver is often the reduction in setup friction. Typical wireless kits operate around 50–80 ms in normal conditions, which is generally fine for presentations and training content. Most teams notice the saved minutes from faster switching more than they notice the milliseconds of signal delay.
3.4 Practical Details That Matter For Enterprise Rooms
P20’s point-to-point approach does not require internet for the core link. That helps in controlled spaces, temporary setups, and rooms where network access is limited. Audio travels with the video and outputs through the receiver’s HDMI connection, so the display handles picture and sound through a single path.
Privacy concerns are also easier to manage with a paired transmitter and receiver. The system does not rely on an open discovery process in the same way software mirroring often does. In multi-room deployments, IT can keep a consistent routine: one RX stays connected to each display, transmitters are available for presenters, and meetings follow the same steps every time.
P20 also supports multi-presenter workflows with up to 8 transmitters to one receiver. In practice, meetings typically need one active source at a time, so this design supports fast handoffs without adding complexity.
4. Where Each Method Fits Best
Wired sharing works best in stable rooms with a fixed presenter device and minimal switching. Wireless HDMI becomes more valuable when the room is used as a shared space: BYOD meetings, frequent presenter handoffs, training sessions, design reviews, and rooms with long tables where cable reach is inconvenient. In those environments, the improvement comes from keeping the meeting moving, keeping the room clean, and reducing the number of small connection steps that interrupt the group.
5. Selection Advice for Choosing the Right Setup
A good choice starts with how meetings actually run. If your team switches presenters often, a dedicated wireless HDMI transmitter and receiver can remove the slowest step in the room: the physical cable handoff at the display. If your table layout forces presenters to sit near a cable outlet, wireless restores flexibility. If guests are present frequently, wireless reduces dependence on the adapters they bring.
After that, check the practical basics. For most rooms, 1080p60 is the best balance of clarity and compatibility. Dual-band support matters in busy offices. Stable power matters because weak power is a common reason transmitters behave inconsistently. If your room needs frequent handoffs, multi-transmitter support can turn screen sharing into a simple routine rather than a recurring interruption. If your goal is a cable-like workflow without cable-like friction, a wireless HDMI-to-HDMI approach is designed to deliver that.
