Amimon HD Wireless Audio-Video ICs

WHDI

World’s first wireless video modem capable of delivering uncompressed HD resolutions of 720p, 1080i & 1080p

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 chips connect wirelessly between a wide variety of video transmitting devices [players, STB, laptops and PC's, game consoles, cameras] to any display device [LCD and plasma monitors, projectors, Etc.] throughout the entire home, allowing mobility and flexibility with no cables and installations.

Two architecture options are currently available for the wireless HD link based on AMIMON’s WHDI™ chipsets:

  • Embedded solution with external receiver box at the other end of the link
  • Embedded solutions at both sides of the wireless link

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 manufacturers. The second generation chipset offers significant enhancements both in quality and in feature-set.

Key features of AMIMON’s AMN 2120/2220 include:

  • Designed for the WHDI standard
  • HD video: 1080p/60Hz & high quality computer graphics; equivalent video rates up to 3Gbps
  • Range: house coverage, 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 specification. The chipset interfaces directly with the video I/O's, saving the cost of any additional components such as CODEC chips, memory buffers and controls.

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.

AMIMON’s revolutionary chipset enable wireless, uncompressed streaming of HD video and audio allowing full home coverage, through walls, through walls, while maintaining superb, wire equivalent quality and robustness with practically no latency.
