WHDI

Amimon one of the companies behind the wireless TV evolution has received a $15 Million injection as part of a second round of financing. This round of funding, said Amimon came from strategic investors along with existing investors, and that the “funding will accelerate the development of follow-on generations of AMIMON’s WHDI chipset enabling further integration, cost reduction and facilitating growth in the wireless home video market.”

According to Amimon Consumer Electronic manufacturers will bring a new wireless PC to HDTV solution out next year. It is called the WHDI Stick and is currently being demonstrated at the CEATEC Show in Japan. The WHDI Stick is a small version of the recently released Asus WiCast and HP Wireless TV, which allows you to stream whatever is on your tablet, laptop, netbook or desktop PC onto a television wirelessly.

Asus is to launch a new HD wireless connector called the WiCast EW2000- WiCast for short.  The device is based on WHDI (Wireless Home Digital Interface) technology developed by Amimon, a developer of wireless HDTV semiconductor solutions.  The WiCast is design to enable households and business to project whatever is on a PC (desktop, Laptop or Notebook) screen onto a television or LCD Monitor screen wirelessly.

The WHDI (Wireless Home Digital Interface) Consortium has promise an update to the WHDI standard; to add 3D streaming and support for all of the 3D formats supported by the wired HDMI 1.4a standard. The updated version will make it possible to stream 3D video around the home. Also to follow is a full upgrade of the standard to make it possible to stream HD and 3D content to and from low powered devices.
