Sharp AQUOS X TVs to Come With Wireless WHDI Connection

When we showed you those Sharp X-series ultra-thin LCD TVs recently, we mentioned how Sharp had achieved the slimming down: by putting most of the electronics in a separate box, connected by a single cable. Well, now there's news that Sharp has teamed up with AMIMON to do away with that cable and transmit the HDTV signal wirelessly to the display from the tuner box. The "WHDI" technology has a range of 100 feet, a latency of less than a millisecond and can transmit through multiple walls. So while the 37-, 42- and 46-inch TVs will now have an optional wireless video transmitter with AMIMON's tech inside, there's no info on the price yet. Read on for the full press release.

Belkin FlyWire Wireless Video Cable Does 1080p Across Nothin'


We saw this Belkin wireless high definition video streamer in a blurry shot, but had little clue what it was. Months ago, we saw an impressive demo by Amimon of true HD over wireless, up to 1080p using a standard called WHDI, but it was nothing more than parts you couldn't buy. No more. Belkin and Amimon just got together to make this 6 input wireless video device, although details aren't that forthcoming, this is how it works: More »

Latest by n/a: The main problem is not interference but the loss of signal quality. LSB/MSB weighting factors is an age-old compression scheme, call it whatever you want. There is a 10 to 1 compression ration! Heck just use JPEG200 which has similar more »

Amimon's Full 1080P Wireless HDMI Confirmed as Ready and Shipping

Amimon showed us its WHDI (Wireless High Definition Interface) working perfectly at last January's CES and today the company is shipping that chipset to manufacturers of TVs, projectors and other consumer electronics products. That's fine, but the big deal is that they've confirmed that 1080p over wireless is a go. Hurrah! It does use an interesting trick, though. More »

Latest by StvYzerman: I am calling BS on Amimon. Ask them for a copy of their patent and read it very carefully. What's laughable is that the video is compressed while their entire website just pumps up how its uncompressed. The truth is, more »

Motorola and Amimon Join Forces to Standardize Wireless HD

We were pretty impressed when Amimon demoed their wireless HD interface for us back at CES, and apparently we weren't the only ones. Motorola announced today that they'll be investing in the Israeli-based company, whose WHDMI interface lets you transfer HD video between components with no degradation in video quality or lag. The technology is expected to work on today's HDTV sets via an optional dongle that Amimon will put to the market. They also plan on embedding their chips into future flat-panels so all that wireless goodness will be built right in. – Louis Ramirez More »

Wireless Or HDMI? Amimon Demos its Video Modem

Which monitor above is wireless and which is HDMI? In a challenging demo, two 720p TVs were placed side-by side, with one fed by a conventional HDMI cable and the other with the uncompressed wireless HDMI technology the company calls a "video modem." Could we guess which one was HDMI and which was wireless? No, we got it wrong. There was no discernable difference between the two. More »

Sanyo Demos WHDMI Wireless HD Projection

Wireless HDTV projection is here, and we saw our first demo at the Sanyo booth. Using a transmitter and receiver from Amimon, the $3000 WHDMI module slides into the industrial-strength projector ($10K) they were using, giving uncompressed wireless performance with no lag time. The Sanyo official told us the system is capable transmitting 1080p video over 60 to 90 feet, probably true if it's indeed able to transmit and receive at 1.5Gbit/sec. as quoted. But the label on the exhibit said we were watching 720p video, so that gave us pause. More »

Latest by n/a: Good point. And dont forget that it only works in a single room where the transmitter and the projector should have perfect line-of-sight. Not to mention that it doesn't work for regular HDMI outputs that are encrypted. Amimon only works more »

Amimon Wireless HD: Good as HDMI, Coming in 2007?

Until now, we thought we'd have to wait until 2008 for wireless HD, but an Israeli company called Amimon successfully demonstrated a wireless high definition interface (WHDI) that can send uncompressed 720p or 1080i video through walls and over distances of up to 40 feet. Tech writers from PC Magazine saw a demo of the system, saying they couldn't tell the difference between this wireless HD signal compared directly to a signal delivered over standard HDMI cable.
