I get emails from DVICE, which is the service that SciFi channel puts out telling you all the cool new stuff out there. I got this email, and the geek in me just drooled! Wireless HDTV! No more cables running around the back of my tv, I could connet my devices anywhere in the house!
Here’s the article:

 Imagine watching any HD video wirelessly from any Blu-ray player, PC, TiVo, video camera or Xbox, anywhere in your house, up to 100 feet away. Now add the ability to instantly control that video from wherever you’re watching it. That’s what WHDI (wireless high-definition interface) can do.
A group of the largest consumer-electronics companies have standardized this new way of moving wireless high-resolution uncompressed video, so all their products with the WHDI logo will be interoperable. They say we’ll start seeing WHDI gear by next year. The idea is the brainchild of Amimon, an Israeli company that’s figured out how to move HD video around with no added noise, no annoying delay after you push the Play button, and, eventually, low cost. We’ve already seen a few WHDI products in action — including a TV from Sharp now shipping in Japan, a set-top pair from Belkin set for late 2008 release, and a wireless-HDTV unit from Sony — and we can tell you: It works perfectly. This is going to be big. Really big. To read more about how the new technology works and to see a video of the concept in action, follow the link below. |
