Wireless HDMI Is Available And Shipping

Amimon caught the attention of many at CES this past January with their wireless HDMI technology. Well, the product has finally gone into production and has begun shipping to manufacturers for use in their devices. Sadly, being a fabless semiconductor company, there are no accessories for those who are looking to turn their wired HDMI into wireless. The dongle would likely be too bulky, which is why everything is integrated inside the TV or projector.

The biggest deal though, is the fact that this wireless technology fully supports 1080p by pairing two chipsets together and sending dual 720p/1080i signals to create the complete 1080p experience. I don’t even have an HDMI-capable TV yet, but the wireless version has me intrigued. I am sure we will be seeing a lot more of this at the next CES in January.

Amimon is a fabless semiconducter company, so it won’t be building dongles and boxes using this tech, but will supply them to consumer electronics manufacturers. Amimon is hoping WHDI will become the new wireless HDMI standard, and told us by January, 2008 at CES, a variety of its partners will be announcing products with the WHDI interface, either installed internally or deployed in the form of dongles that transmit and receive the WHDI signal.
