How would you like Wireless HDTV on your Sony PS3? Sony and others like Samsung Electronics, Sharp, Hitachi and Motorola has just set up a joint industry development body to bring you all something special and that is Wireless Home Digital Interface or better know as WHDI as standard by the end of the year.
Ok what the hell is WHDI?
Well to cut a long story short here is a little insight, “A key ingredient of WHDI technology is a revolutionary video-modem that operates in the 5GHz unlicensed band to enable robust wireless delivery of uncompressed HD video (including 1080p).
WHDI will allow secure encrypted HD video delivery through multiple rooms and of course other potential signal obstructions like furniture and people, but yet still giving you superb quality and robustness with less than one-millisecond latency.
This new technology will enhance the current WHDI technology to enable wireless streaming of uncompressed HD video and audio between CE devices such as LCD, multimedia projectors, HDTVs, BD players, DVD, set-top boxes (STBs), A/V receivers, PCs and yes our beloved gaming consoles.
The Playstation 3 is front and centre and co-founder of Amimon, Noam Geri said
“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.”
