Want to stream HD video to your TV from more devices? So does the outfit behind the Wireless Home Digital Interface (WHDI) standard. AMIMON wants to see its technology integrated into third party chipsets, and is now licensing its intellectual property to other companies. The IP up for lease promises low power, low latency two-way data links that work in parallel with video. CEO Ram Ofir hopes the technology will be adopted in mobile, automotive, camera and defense markets. "This license complements AMIMON's current product offerings for the WHDI and AMIMON Professional markets," he said. "We believe that by opening up our IP, we enhance the global ecosystem for wireless High-Definition connectivity and create new options for consumers and new business opportunities for manufacturers." Read on for the official press release and a quick peek at AMIMON's CES demo plans.

CES 2013 – No Latency is more important than ever
CES 2013 – No Latency is more important than ever
AMIMON demonstrates control of touchscreen via Windows 8 with WHDI at CES 2013
For the first time we’re making our IP and technology for wireless video transmission available to semiconductor and CE brands. It’s true, now the IP, used in WHDI consumer products today to wirelessly transmit the highest quality HD content throughout the home, will enable third party chipsets to include it, enabling next generation products in the CE, PC and mobile markets.
The IP will also include new features and improvements over those currently found in WHDI, such as support for video rates up to 4Kx2K, multicast, and increased range and reliability.
We’re demonstrating this technology, the current WHDI applications for touch screen and the Amimon Professional line in our CES suite – Las Vegas Hotel #23121. If you’re interested in a demonstration or talk about how to acquire the IP, please make an appointment.

Teradek Bolt: The Good, the Background, and The Ugly Choices Out There
http://www.teradek.com/blogs/news/6940350-teradek-bolt-the-good-the-background-and-the-ugly-choices-out-there-draft
As a global innovator in wireless video systems, we've been closely following the new generation of zero delay wireless video solutions since it's introduction. They come in several shapes and sizes, each with their own pros and cons. One technology player in particular showed an early technical lead: Amimon. We came very close to building a product based on their WHDI technology in late 2010 when a Chinese OEM offered a design to us. However, despite its excellent latency, its range, resilience, and video quality was unacceptable for the professional market. Having shipped more than 10,000 Cubes into all kinds of challenging environments, we know how tough it can be to do wireless video and how important it is to do it right. Two years later, after working very closely with Amimon, the Teradek Bolt was born; a new device based on the Amimon Pro chipset, which is a spin-off from their WHDI technology.
Amimon Pro differs in some key ways from it's WHDI predecessor: It has more antennas (which provide better multi-path rejection), it is capable of using more frequency bands (making it less susceptible to interference), it uses an updated MIMO / OFDM modulation (providing longer range and better video quality), and it supports far more video standards and multicast capabilities. We also worked with Amimon to create custom firmware to improve the product further.
We felt our job was more than just finding, rebranding, and raising the price on what was meant to be an OEM reference design for consumer applications. If you didn't know, many of these units and their lookalikes are based on modules designed and manufactured by an OEM in China.
But a product is not defined just by the modules it uses, but also how they are used. For example, Nokia, Samsung and Apple smartphones use Broadcom radios, but they are very different devices. PCs and Macs use Intel CPUs and SSDs, but they are also quite different from each other.
We wanted to add value to what is clearly great technology by properly adapting it to professionals’ needs and by making it compatible with our existing products. First, we used the 3G-SDI drivers from our award winning Cube, allowing hassle free integration with professional cameras and video switchers. We added a 3G-SDI loop on both RX and TX to allow Bolts, Cubes and monitors to all be used together, giving you zero delay to monitors and streaming to iPads with minimum gear required.

Big Picture - How to run Steam on your TV
http://store.steampowered.com/bigpicture/setup
There are some really interesting solutions on the market that allow you to use your TV as a secondary monitor for your desktop PC - without even having to move it from the desk. The most interesting solutions are wireless. This kind of technology is still evolving, but solid products have already been on the market for a year or two.
We have had good luck with devices based on the technology from Amimon, when used within the same room. Whole-house solutions (which transmit through multiple walls) are beginning to appear on the market - if you have experience with one of those we’d like to hear about it. One industry standard is called WHDI, and there are several such devices available today.

Leaving the Cables Behind: Wireless Broadcasting Solutions
One camera, multiple monitors
The new wireless solutions allow the upgrading of professional broadcasting as well. For instance, the technology of IsraeliAmimon enables wireless SD and HD video content broadcasting, by using bandwidth for the delivery of video content to a number of monitors at the same time.
“The integration of Amimon’s SD and HD wireless solutions enable maximum flexibility for video photographers,” says David Shafler, VP of Sales and Marketing at Amimon. The mobile system allows the filming and broadcasting of high resolution content for a distance of up to 80 meters.
An additional use of Amimon’s technology simplifies broadcasting on moving vehicles. The technology serves as an efficient, inexpensive alternative for the complicated existing method of activating video monitors in buses, cars and aircrafts.
