WHDI Reviews – Wireless HDTV News

Brite-View has brought out its third pct-to-tv 1080p HD content wireless streaming kit and this one is called HDelight. If your desktop or laptop or even netbook has an HDMI out, you will be able to streams its contents wirelessly to an HDTV.

The technology that Brite-Viwe has used for this is WHDI. So it looks like despite of efforts from WiGig and WirelessHD to overshadow everyone else in the market, the WHDI makers are getting some deals through.

The Brite-View HDelight, like most other such wireless HD streaming kits in the market, is a completely plug n’ play solution. You do not need to install in additional software and HDMI outs from even Blu Ray players are supported. So investing in a pair would mean that you can put it to good use around the house.

As expected, the range of this streaming kit is not all that great. It is 30feet in any direction. But then that is enough to go form one room to another or from on end of the living room to the other. At the end, the idea behind wireless streaming was to eliminate the wires that stick out like sore thumbs everywhere. So people don’t usually think of streaming content from a PC that is sitting in another room. But if you have a media server in your bedroom and your 40″ plasma in another, you can use these solutions.

The market is heating up gradually for wireless streaming solutions and a lot of new and existing companies are getting into the game. Right now there’s no telling who will win out in this and who won’t because even though WiGig is a large and powerful alliance of industry biggies, the startups are also quite adept at getting things done.
