KFA2 / Galaxy GeForce GTX 460 WHDI

Alright, let's sift through the product and bundled items. First up boxing and packaging. The product comes in a standard carton packaging safely secured in Styrofoam.

In the package you'll find the GTX 460 graphics cards, 1 GB model with reference (675 MHz Core / 3600 MHz memory) clock frequency. With the card comes five wireless antennas and a USB pass through cable which can be used to transmit and receive data coming from the 'front-end' receiver box. Also you'll find two p-pin PEG PCie power converter cables and a nice quality HDMI cable.

The receiver box itself comes with a USB cable and a cradle so you can mount it in an upright position. Other items are a power adapter for that receiver box. Obviously also a manual and GeForce driver CD are included.

Here we have a close-up of the receiver box, this is the device you place close to (or behind) your Full HD television. On a 24" monitor, this is about the real size. Two activity lights can be found, one for a network and one for the video link.

When we peek at the backside of the device we can see the power intput, HDMI connector (lead it towards your HDTV or AV Receiver with HDMI input) and a small USB port.

The USB port can be utilized for two things, first .. if you pop in a USB Flash disk with accompanying firmware, you can upgrade that firmware. And that will be needed for secondary functionality.

Though it is not supported right now, in the near future Galaxy/KFA2 will issue a firmware update that will allow you to use the USB port for say a keyboard/mouse combo. That way you can have your PC at the upper floor, while downstairs in the living room you watch a movie over this solution AND can control it with a media keyboard / mouse.
This is still a work in progress though, and currently Galaxy only has a firmware available supporting a couple of Logitech devices, other than that controlling your PC will need to be dealt with by a powerful wireless keyboard/remote.

The receiver box also comes with a small cradle .. you can place the device in an upright position. Other than that it has no functionality. The receiver can be easily hidden behind your telly as well, it is that small.
