Welcome
Wireless HD Coming Soon to TVs

Advert
Technology Share
The Associated Press reported on Wednesday that electronics giants Sony and Samsung are working together to create a device that will send a wireless high-definition signal from one TV set to others in the home.

This announcement of WHDI, Wireless Home Digital Interface, will set a new industry standard – one that eliminates the need for messy and plentiful cabling as well as giving the consumer a new amount of control over their electronics.

“If you have a TV in the home, that TV will be able to access any source in the home, whether it’s a set-top box in the living room, or the PlayStation in the bedroom, or a DVD player in another bedroom. That’s the message of WHDI,” Noam Geri said. Geri is the co-founder of Amimon Ltd., an Israel based company developing the WHDI technology.

WHDI TVs are expected to be in stores next year and cost about $100 more than non-WHDI TVs.

Other transmission methods, besides WHDI, include WirelessHD, which comes from Sunnyvale, Calif., based company SiBEAM Inc.

Sony and Samsung support both transmission methods, but Samsung’s vice president of TV research, JaeMoon Jo believes that the “ultimate solution in the long run” is WirelessHD due to its faster radio transmissions and smaller compression rates.

Motorola currently resides solely in the WHDI camp along with Belkin International Inc., which sells adapters using the Amimon technology.

So what exactly will it do differently? Is it going to be able to allow the user to interact with multiple devices, on the t.v.? Sounds interesting but complicated lol. I'd like to find out more.
