Sharp Cable-Free HDTVs Broadcast Signal Wirelessly
Wednesday, April 30th, 2008Sharp came up with a wireless option to its thin X-series LCD displays. Sharp will combine Amimon Wireless High Definition Interface WHDI 1080p wireless tech with its thinnest flat panels. From now on, you don’t have to connect cables to your TV.
Sales will start first in Japan and soon in the U.S. Really good news is that this technology comprises wireless HDMI broadcasting signal capabilities with perfect outlook. It works a 100 feet distance and can go through four or five walls. The signal was perfect with no difference between the WHDI and a wired HDMI signal. But the wireless opportunity will add about $800 to already expensive $4,000, plus 46-inch Sharp X-Series HDTV.
That price is just for beginning, later wireless HDTV with a 100-foot distance will be much more affordable. Sony, Belkin, Sanyo and now Sharp are on board, and there is not much time left for WHDI to be everywhere.
AMIMON has a technology, capable of transferring uncompressed HD video streams wirelessly. No need to connect audio-video cable between separate tuner unit and TV panel. WHDI tech uses a unique video-modem approach with a range over 30 and latency of less than one millisecond.

Dr. Yoav Nissan-Cohen, who is a chairman and CEO of AMIMON, said: “With AMIMON’s WHDI technology, consumers can enjoy wireless ultra-thin TV displays that are easy to install and easy on the eyes. WHDI is becoming the technology of choice for wireless HDTV “.
New Sharp X-series models come in 37-, 42-, 46-inch display sizes and are 3.44 cm thick. This series has a discrete component configuration to separate the screen section from the tuner section, and the two sections may be connected with a cable or by using an alternative wireless video transmitter unit with the AMIMON’s WHDI technology.

The FragBox is supplied with the new Wolfdale-based Intel Core 2 Duo E8500 processor and with nVidia EVGA GeForce 8800 GTS graphics card. This cool combination allows you to play the latest DX10 games. Of course the processor is a bit weak (so Falcon cut down price due to less expenses), but the overclocked 670 MHz 512MB EVGA GeForce 8800 GTS is the mighty point. For instance, The FragBox achieved good 71 fps while running Crysis at 1,280^1,024 resolution, or 66 fps on World in Conflict at 1,280^,024 resolution. Previously, DX10 supported systems couldn’t show this level of performance.
