Wireless HDMI At 1080p, Lag-Free WHDI Tested
MojoKid writes "Wireless HDMI technologies have finally come of age. Though there are two camps currently in the market (Intel's WiDi and WHDI), the bottom line is lag-free full HD 1080p wireless HDMI video/audio transmission is now a reality. No longer does an HTPC need to be shoehorned into the confines of the entertainment center. Also, that notebook you have perched on the coffee table just got a major display upgrade. This demo of the Asus WiCast and the briteView HDelight wireless HDMI transmitter kits, shows the technology in action and its impressive actually. Both of these WHDI-based kits utilize the same family of Amimon WHDI transmitter and receiver chipsets. The technology is capable of full 1080p HD video and Dolby Digital surround sound audio transmissions, over distances of up to 30 feet with less than a millisecond of latency."
What the subject says. If it's WiFi, I have good reason to never trust a trouble-free uninterrupted level of operation that it claims. I want copper, and shielded. Thank you very much.
Life is not for the lazy.
Really? Because I could swear my computer, and my PS3 play games and they aren't compressed into h.264 before being put in the monitor/tv.
my CPU gets hot.. what more do ya want man? I dont have a stand alone box to underclock, because I use my computer for other things. If my crummy Athalon X2 didnt need a fan, i wouldnt have one on it.. am I the only one who thinks a stand alone box is overkill sometimes.. in a perfect world i'd have a big pile of money to buy the latest in slow computers I would.. but right now im more concerned about keeping a roof over my families head and food in their bellies.
That's not a valid answer.
AES encryption is only good if the keys are randomly generated or guaranteed to be secret at the time of transmission. If using fixed keys, or a bad system for key generation, its just as viewable as unencrypted video flying through the airwaves.
