AMIMON’s WHDI technology to enable a leading manufacturer’s LCD TV to receive uncompressed 1080p HD video from CE source devices wirelessly
Santa Clara, Calif. — January 4, 2008 — AMIMON Inc., an emerging leader in semiconductor technology for wireless high-definition (HD) video, has partnered with a leading consumer electronics manufacturer to demonstrate a wireless HDTV with embedded WHDI technology capable of receiving uncompressed 1080p 60Hz HD video streams wirelessly.
“The WHDI 1080p HDTV exhibited at CES demonstrates a new class of wireless connectivity,” said Dr. Yoav Nissan-Cohen, AMIMON chairman and CEO. “WHDI enables TV manufacturers to offer consumers new possibilities to connect video sources to HDTVs throughout the home.”
AMIMON’s WHDI technology uses a unique video-modem approach to deliver wirelessly uncompressed HDTV. With a range of over 100 feet (30m), through multiple walls, and with latency of less than one millisecond, WHDI offers universal wireless whole-home HD connectivity with quality equivalent to that achieved with wires.
“WHDI is setting a new standard for whole-home HD audio, video and control connectivity,” said Dr. David Lee, HDMI visionary and a member of AMIMON’s board of directors. “WHDI technology enables an enriched customer experience by enabling high-quality and robust connections between video sources and TVs throughout the home.”
The 1080p WHDI LCD TV that will be demonstrated at CES embeds the AMIMON WHDI chipset (AMN2110/AMN2210), which was named an International CES Innovations 2008 Design and Engineering Awards Honoree in the enabling technologies category.
