Wireless Video Cable Replacement Market and Technologies

UWB, 5 GHz, 60 GHz, JPEG2000, MPEG2, MPEG4, WirelessHD, WHDI



There is no such thing as wireless HDMI according the HDMI licensing group. But this hasn’t stopped a number of startups from trying to implement it. Some are using narrowband signaling at 5 GHz, others are using UWB techniques, and still another group is breaking new ground in the 60 GHz millimeter wave region. Unlike wireless TV solutions in the past, these technologies are designed to replace HDMI cables and support full HDTV resolutions with no loss in video quality or signal integrity. Wireless solutions for HDMI cable replacement are now coming to market from leading TV manufacturers, with more to follow next year. This report provides an in-depth analysis of these competing technologies and companies as well as an outlook for the adoption of these devices in the marketplace.
