Early last month, we had a nice surprise come our way in the email. The Chairman & CEO of Amimon (the company behind WHDI) — Yoav Nissan Cohen —  dropped us a line to give us a thumbs up and forwarded some of his personally created material for the presentation he gave at the Nikkei Symposium this year. So this week, we are taking some time out to take a look at one of the most promising Wireless HD standards in the market — WHDI.

The recent series of demonstrations that Amimon conducted of their WHDI dongle, made sure that a lot more people are now playing close attention to WHDI’s development in the newly emergent Wireless HD video content streaming market.

The renewed effort from Amimon to make technology popular has highlighted the fact that it is in fact very flexible in how it works and that it is also extremely capable at replacing wired HDMI connections. In a direct parallel to the disastrous lag issues in Intel’s WiDi (based on the WiFi Plus standard), the WHDI protocol has almost no lag at all for human beings.

Intel [NASDAQ:INTC] already has WiDi in the works to take care of onboard streaming capabilities. But that is not all that available right now. So what we have here is a new GPU from the NVIDIA [NASDAQ:NVDA] stable that will be able to wireless stream video.

Popular card maker Galaxy is at it again, showing off a new NVIDIA GeForce GTX 460 card that has Amimon’s WHDI technology onboard in order to wireless stream video to your nearest HDMI ready TV screen. We have covered them in the past and it seems like there is a no dearth in their enthusiasm about their card. But there is a lack of information about the whole thing.

There is no details on the pricing of this card as of yet but they have finally announced a tentative shipping schedule. The Galaxy GTX460 WHDI card is supposed to start shipping towards the end of this month. So it should at least be here by Christmas, given that they are still very vague about things. Expect for this to be at quite the premium when it releases.

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.

In our previous post we wrote about new Galaxy GTX 460 video card supporting wireless HD via WHDI (Wireless HD technology). And today we got news from AMIMON about even better way to connect PC to HD television using wireless technology. It is called WHDI stick – a dongle inserted into HDMI port which is capable of transmitting uncompressed 5Gbps HD signal up to 30 meters and with less than millisecond latency.

It is hard to say how the actual production device will look like in its final form since it is only available as prototype (even in prototype form it already looks quite small and similar in size to USB flash drive). To receive the signal on the TV side you will need a receiver box which is similar in size to wireless router and could be placed behind the television.
