The WirelessHD 1.0 standard was just anounced a few days ago. 

The system enables HD video transmission in uncompressed format between a television & other AV equipment like a HD Disc player without quality deterioration. Panasonic will debut this system at the 2008 CES)

Unlike conventional wireless transmission technologies, this system uses a 60 GHz-band millimeter wave radio to provide robust transmission connectivity, since uncompressed HD video requires a large bandwidth. The WirelessHD system consists of a Plasma television with a receiver & a movable rack housing video sources with a transmitter such as a Blu-ray Disc player and HD digital camcorder. Without the clutter of connecting cables, users can enjoy greater freedom in positioning and design of their home theater. For example, a user can hang an HD Plasma on their wall while keeping their Blu-ray Disc player apart from the Plasma, without worrying about running cables or other wires between the products.

SiBEAM’s beam steering technology enables this system to maintain stable connectivity when there is an obstacle, such as a person, between the wireless transmitter and receiver. When the system detects an obstacle interrupting the beam, it immediately finds another path to maintain a stable link and provide uninterrupted signal transmission.

Last year SiBEAM developed their OmniLink60 wireless semiconductor technology , which delivers true, non-line-of-sight beam steering & HD A/V connectivity for wireless applications at the 60 GHz band to maintain stable connectivity when there is an obstacle, such as a person, between the wireless transmitter and receiver. Therefore, users can enjoy their wireless High Definition Plasma viewing without having to worry about signal interference just as with conventional cable-connected systems.

Panasonic’s newly-announced VIERA Link feature is available with this system. VIERA Link is an audio/video operation system developed and promoted by Panasonic that uses a single remote to operate an entire home entertainment system connected via High Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) cable.
