What the thread found
- Wireless HDMI transmission over 1-2 kilometers at a budget under $2000 is not commercially available in the consumer or professional market
- The Paralinx Arrow is a compact wireless HDMI solution weighing very little, transmitting uncompressed 1920x1080 HD with approximately 2 frames of latency, priced at $999 including cables
- The Paralinx Arrow transmitter is powered via D-tap to 5V converter cable and the receiver requires 5V USB power
- WHDI-based consumer transmitters exist in USB stick form for shorter-range HDMI transmission
- Broadcast-quality wireless video transmission systems suitable for 1-2 km range typically cost significantly more than $2000
Depends on

- The receiver power solution specifics were unclear regarding whether lithium batteries were included
- One participant questioned whether the Paralinx Arrow only supports HDMI without additional features
- The discussion predates modern systems and reflects 2012 market conditions
- No testing results or confirmed performance data were provided for any system mentioned
