Belkin FlyWire: Wireless 1080p Video To Any Room In Your Home

With wired home theaters it's always a hassle to find the perfect place for your HDTV, but with the Belkin FlyWire it'll no longer be an issue. The FlyWire is a simple box that transmits 1080p video and audio wirelessly over a 5 Ghz band to your HDTV and is capable of connecting Blu-ray players, gaming consoles, receivers and set-top boxes. Belkin claims that interference is minimal and because the FlyWire doesn't compress video it will transmit sans latency. It comes with an transmitter that connects to your A/V components, whether or not they're analog or digital and has an SD card slot that allows for upgrade and expansion. The FlyWire has plenty of connection options including a trio of HDMI inputs, a couple of component and a composite input plus the accompanying audio inputs and an HDMI output. It also supports all IR and universal remotes. Sound good so far? You have a bit of a wait. The Belkin FlyWire comes in two different model. The first, AV69003, will set you back $999.99 and will come out come October. It's meant as a multi-room solution. The second, the FlyWire R1 or AV69000, will set you back $699.99 is meant to be a single-room device and will hit shelves in Q1 2009.
