Sharp's Ultra-thin LCD TV Features AMIMON's WHDI Technology
(Business News & Technology News, 2 May 2008)
AMIMON Inc. has partnered with Sharp Corp. to offer a wireless HDTV link for Sharp's X-Series ultra-thin LCD TVs. AMIMON's Wireless High-definition Interface (WHDI) technology, capable of delivering uncompressed HD video streams wirelessly, will simplify the installation of Sharp's ultra-thin LCD TVs by eliminating the need for an audio/video cable between the TV panel and the separate tuner unit.
AMIMON's WHDI technology uses a unique video-modem approach to deliver wireless uncompressed HDTV. With a range of over 30m (100ft), through multiple walls and with latency of less than one millisecond, WHDI technology offers universal wireless whole-home HD connectivity with quality equivalent to that achieved with HDMI.
Sharp's new X-series models adopts a discrete component configuration that separates the display section from the tuner section, and these two sections can be connected with a cable or by using an optional wireless video transmitter unit that employs AMIMON's WHDI technology.
