nsane.forums Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 Tired of being forced to run wires or shuffle large files around in order to enjoy some HD content in the room of your choice? A new protocol has been formalized that will allow royalty-free implementations of a wireless mesh that's up to handling 1080p broadcasts out to about 30m (100 feet). The Wireless Home Digital Interface will use the same 5GHz area of the spectrum that's currently employed by the the N version of WiFi, but its backers promise that this won't create any problems: supposedly, the system has the brains to identify the portions of the signal that contain the most important visual information, and give them priority.The WHDI standard is being pushed by AMIMON, which makes the chips that power it. Still, the group has attracted some serious backers in the home electronics area, including Hitachi, LG, Samsung, and Sharp. The details of the protocol are only available to companies that have formally signed on as "early adopters," but the WHDI website has a fair amount of information on the technology behind the standard scattered among different pages.View: Original Article Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
