Wireless Home Digital Interface (WHDI), a consortium formed by Amimon, Hitachi, Motorola, Sharp, Samsung and Sony has announced the completion of WHDI specification that will enable users to transmit full HD content without any wires.
Amimon, had initially proposed the tech to transmit content only up to 720p but with the latency coming in under a millisecond, the tech will support 1080p video at 60Hz.
The new standard uses 5GHz band to send uncompressed data within an impressive range of up to 100 feet, even through walls. Another advantage the standard enjoys is the support of HDCP 2.0 to provide digital content protection.
Products supporting the WHDI spec are expected to roll out in the second half of 2010.
