Westinghouse Unveils World's First Wireless LCD HDTV

Westinghouse today unveiled the world's first fully integrated wireless HDTV. The high-definition LCD TV features integrated CWave UWB Wireless HDMI technology from and Pulse~LINK, a UWB semiconductor company. The new wireless LCD HDTV will be on display for the first time at the 2008 International Consumer Electronics Show (CES).

The Westinghouse Digital Wireless HDMI HDTV is planned for initial commercial release to the B2B digital signage market in Q2 2008 -- but consumers will get their hands on it shortly thereafter. CWave HDMI products offer real-time visually lossless wireless streaming of high quality audio and video content between entertainment source devices and HDTV displays. With the integration of CWave Wireless HDMI, digital display products can be mounted anywhere in the room without needing to run data cabling from the TV to the content source, such as a DVR, Blu-ray or HD DVD player, or a live cable or satellite feed. Video data is encoded using the JPEG2000 video codec, the same codec used by movie theaters for "Digital Cinema," providing a secure high quality HD experience. Pulse-LINK's Wireless HDMI solution is engineered to be equivalent in both content protection and visual experience to a wired HDMI connection.
