Wired Home General
by william on July 7, 2005
Like like most technophiles, I hate wires. So why aren't there any wireless home home theater systems available yet? ITWorld.com has an interesting opinion piece that discusses some of these issues with a wireless home theater:
Alas, it's the uncompressed nature of HDMI that gets in the way. Do the math: 480p EDTV requires about 500 Mbps, and full 1080p will suck down the entire 5 Gbps available on HDMI! There are, as I noted above, no wireless technologies available to us mere mortals today that can do this. I'm expecting 500 Mbps (effective throughput) UWB at some point over the next year, but not in inexpensive HDMI adapters, and not with a range of more than a few meters at that data rate.
