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.
