Westinghouse Digital Wireless HDMI HDTV First Wireless HDTV In History, To Debut At CES 2008

Westinghouse will be debuting the first integrated wireless HDTV next week at CES 2008. The Westinghouse Digital Wireless HDMI HDTV will be released in the second quarter of 2008, first marketed to the digital signage market, and features Pulse Link’s integrated CWave UWB Wireless HDMI technology for real-time wireless streaming of audio and video content from your Blu-ray, HD DVD or DVR home theater accessories or live cable/satellite feed.

Video is encoded using the JPEG2000 codec, and transmitted via a FCC Certified CWave® UWB chipset that at a 1.35 Gbps over-the-air signaling rate delivers 890 Mbps application layer throughput which is the fastest wireless speed currently available. The wireless range of the HDTV is also impressive with the CWave surpassing 500 Mbps at 8 feet and 115 Mbps at 40 feet.

No price or size details are yet available for the Westinghouse Digital Wireless HDMI HDTV, but expect to learn more after the unveiling next week at CES.
