Hisense And AMIMON Team Up On WHDI Wireless Streaming Accessories
Wirelessly streaming HD has been possible for years now, but until recently, most devices that accomplish that goal required a hefty down payment. Those solutions weren't for the everyman, and instead catered to homeowners with loads to spend on a wire-free home theater. But these days, things are different. Technology has evolved to a point where wireless HD transmissions are more mainstream than ever before, and one company has been there since the beginning: AMIMON.
That company is responsible for WHDI, a transmission protocol that enables wireless high-def transfers to take place. The company is teaming up with Hisense to introduce hree new accessories based on WHDI standard so that users can wirelessly connect HD sources such as their laptop of iPhone to their television in their living room.
The WHDI Transmitter Stick, WHDI Receiver and WHDI case for iPhone are all new this week, and all are being unveiled to the public for the first time at the Global Sources Electronics & Components World Expo, today through Friday at the AsiaWorld-Expo in Hong Kong. No pricing information is available, but this could definitely be the start of a trend we're in favor of. The fewer wires, the better!
