AMIMON: PRONTA LA SECONDA GENERAZIONE DEL WHDI

02 Maggio 2009 1

Il WHDI in parole povere è la tecnologia wi-fi che permette la trasmissione audio video senza fili in alta definizione. Se avete per esempio un letore blu-ray in una stanza e volete condividerne i contenuti in un'altra,  senza l'utilizzo di fili, si può utilizzare questa tecnologia. Abbiamo parlato in passato su questo blog del Belkin FlyWire per esempio e di altri device, ora ANIMON (che sta dietro al progetto WHDI) introduce la seconda generazione di chipset. Viene utilizzata la banda dei 5Ghz, un chip per la trasmissione (AMN 2120) per la trasmissione e un altro (AMN2220) per ricevere il segnale. Animon afferma che che questi chip permettono la trasmissione di contenuti in alta definizione 1080p fino a 60Hz HD senza compressione in un raggio di 100 metri e con solo 1 millisecondo di latenza. Supporto HDCP 2.0 e full release a seguire.

Chips to enable HDTVs to Support the WHDI Standard

Santa Clara, Calif. – April 29, 2009 – AMIMON Inc., the market leader in wireless HD semiconductor solutions, announced today the immediate availability of its second generation baseband chipset. The second generation transmitter and receiver chips (AMN 2120/2220) are designed for the WHDI™ (Wireless Home Digital Interface™) standard and are the first chipset capable of wirelessly delivering full uncompressed 1080p/60Hz HD content throughout the entire home.

The second generation chipset is based on the revolutionary video modem technology operating in the 5GHz unlicensed band, pioneered by AMIMON and the backbone of WHDI. The robustness of AMIMON's video modem technology has been proven in consumers' homes with AMIMON's first generation chipset which was integrated into wireless HDTV products from leading TV manufactures. The second generation chipset offers significant enhancements both in quality and in feature-set.

Key features of the AMN 2120/2220 include:

· Designed for the WHDI standard

· HD video: 1080p/60Hz & high quality computer graphics

· Range: multi-room – beyond 100 feet (30 meters) through walls

· Latency: less than 1 millisecond

· Hollywood approved HDCP 2.0 copy protection

· Low power consumption modes for portable devices.

· Low cost – mass adoption price points

· 5GHz unlicensed band with support for Dynamic Frequency Selection (DFS)

The second generation chipset provides CE manufacturers with a low cost HD wireless connectivity solution. The chipset is built on a programmable platform that can be tuned for conformance with the WHDI standard specifications. The AMN 2120/2220 chipset can be embedded into CE devices such as LCD and plasma HDTVs, multimedia projectors, A/V receivers, Blu-ray DVD players, set-top boxes (STBs), game consoles, computers, DVRs, PCs and HD video accessories/dongles, allowing wireless streaming of uncompressed HD video and audio. The WHDI standard, promoted by the top CE manufacturers is the only standard to enable whole home, wireless uncompressed HDTV connectivity.

"The first generation chipsets received considerable interest, as AMIMON sold over 100,000 chipsets in 2008 and we expect increased demand for the second generation chipsets," said Noam Geri, vice president of marketing and business development for AMIMON. "AMIMON's first generation chipset made wireless HDTV in the home a reality; the second generation WHDI chipset will make mass-market, interoperable standard-based wireless connectivity in every home a reality."

"Among home entertainment enthusiasts 1080p HDTVs are in high demand and ease of use technologies, such as a wireless interface alternative, are expected to see increasing demand from consumers" said Randy Lawson, Senior Analyst, Digital TV Semiconductor and Display Drivers for iSuppli. "AMIMON's technology provides an effective solution to meet the growing consumer, as well as OEM, desire for ease of use features while maintaining the high quality 1080p."

AMIMON's second generation chipsets and reference designs are available now. AMN2120 and AMN2220 interface directly to AMIMON RF transceivers AMN3110 and AMN3210 respectively. Pricing for 100K units of the WHDI transmitter chipset AMN 2120/3110 is $20 and of the WHDI receiver chipset AMN 2220/3210 is $25.
