Wireless HDMI Prototype Announced

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the thats-a-lotta-bits-in-the-air dept.

legoburner writes "Tzero Technologies and Analog Devices announced that they have created a wireless HDMI interface for HDTVs, next-gen DVD players, and set-top boxes. The backbone for the technology is ultrawideband, also used as a future replacement for wired USB. The Analog Device compresses data with the [lossy] JPEG2000 video codec, which is then packetized and encrypted, and transmitted via the Tzero MAC and PHY chip."

  1. Another Sony Delay.. by saboola · · Score: 5, Funny

    In other news, in an attempt to make the PS3 future proof, Sony has once again delayed the PS3 till 2009 so that they may integrate wireless HDMI. Wireless HDMI will not come standard however, but be part of the 1500 dollar "ZOMG" SKU.

  2. Ohhhh the audiophile victims.... by codefrog · · Score: 5, Funny

    I can already picture the audiophile products which will at no small cost somehow imbue the air in your living room with better wireless transmission characteristics...
    Maybe even a vacuum chamber so you don't degrade your digital transmission. It sure would suck to have your bits coming through the ether in low fidelity.

    Of course we all know that movies looked better on vinyl anyway.
