3D Part 2 at CES 2010

There is no doubt that one of the hottest item or could even be no. 1 in CES 2010 is 3D.  A lot of exhibitors have on display something about 3D and almost everybody is talking about this exciting technology, which is actually just making a comeback.  There was so much hype about 3D many years back but it fizzled out probably because encoding and display technologies then were not matured enough.  The big names in consumer electronics have made announcements and live demos on the CES floors and ahead of the pack is Panasonic, which showed its upcoming 3D camera that will record full left and right HD videos in SD cards.  Samsung, Toshiba, LG and Vizio likewise showed their 3D LCD TVs but did not announced shipping dates.  There were also solutions on 3D Blu-ray players, set top boxes, glasses and video gaming that were presented on the exhibit floors.  Considering recent industry developments, 2010 is predicted to be the year of 3D.  The success of Avatar and the proliferation of 3D contents and hardware will most likely make this bold prediction a reality.

Wireless HDTV Connection is Coming to your Computer

Wireless Home Digital Interface or WHDI is a new short range wireless transmission technology developed to replace cables between high-definition video sources and display devices.  It is pioneered by AMIMON, the WHDI chipset maker, and being supported by leading appliance manufacturers.  The technology operates in the unlicensed 5GHz band and offers a wireless Full HD (1080p) video connectivity at rates up to 3Gbps.  It also supports 1080i and 720p HD video.  Signal range is beyond 100 feet and robust enough to pass through walls, which is ideal for home and small office applications.  WHDI technology can be found in some high-end AV devices such as HDTV displays, Blu-ray players, and set-top-boxes.  At present, WHDI modules are already being made available for other consumer devices such as netbooks and laptops. These are expected to be out in the market in 2010 allowing users the ability to connect their computers wirelessly to any WHDI-enabled HDTV display.
