Wireless high-definition developer Amimon has announced that its second-generation transmitter and receiver chips designed for WHDI (Wireless Home Digital Interface) are available to manufacturers now—and they are the first WHDI solution on the market capable of pushing 1080p/60Hz high-definition video content wirelessly throughout a home. The chips operate in the unlicensed 5 GHz radio frequency band and Amimon says devices using the technology will be able to as much as 30 meters apart; devices will also have latencies less than 1 millisecond and support “Hollywood approved” HDCP 2.0 copy protection.

WHDI Group Working Toward New Standard
WHDI developer Amimon has announced it has formed a special interest group with industry heavyweights like Samsung, Motorola, Hitachi, Sharp, and Sony to form a new special interest group dedicated to developing a new industry standard for multi-room, high-definition wireless media. The group hopes to have the details hammered out by the end of 2008, based on current WHDI technology.
“The development of the new standard will ensure that when consumers purchase CE devices and take them home, they will enjoy a fast, easy, and hassle-free wireless connection that delivers the highest quality,” said Amimom CEO Dr. Yoav Nissan-Cohen, in a statement. “The WHDI standard’s objective is to enable an enriched customer experience with multi-vendor interoperability.”

After years (and years) of being limited to relatively bland, boring design in cell phones, PCs and laptops, we’re suddenly bombarded with sleek, colorful products that look slick on a desktop or in your pocket. Should we all thank Apple for this? Probably. After all, it was only until the iPod gained in insane popularity that other electronics manufacturers started to realize that even the geekiest of us liked a little element of style to our high tech stuff.
