Goodbye To HDMI And Hello To Wireless HD

Before you even get to put your HDMI connectors to good use, you may be kissing them goodbye and saying hello to wireless HD. An Israeli company called Amimon has developed a wireless HD modem (W-HDI) that can send uncompressed 720p or 1080i video through walls and over distances of up to 40 feet. The folks at PC Magazine saw a live demo of the system and could see no difference in picture quality between the wireless HD setup and the standard HDMI cable setup.

Amimon's W-HDI is slated for a late 2007 release, at which time it will be able to support 3Gb/s throughputs—sufficient to drive a 1080p display. And we'll be sure to see it at the upcoming CES in January to fill you in on more info. So, get ready to untether your plasma TV and let it hang free in all its glory.
