CES 2009: Wireless In-Room, In-Home HD Video Readied

TwiceWireless has come of age as a reliable way to replace HDMI video cables within a room and transmit HD video throughout the house, advocates of competing solutions said during a Parks Associates seminar here.

Panelists, however, were split over whether consumers are more interested in wireless for replacing HDMI cables within a room or for distributing HD video throughout the house. “We surveyed consumers worldwide, and 75 percent said in-room connectivity is their priority,” said John Marshall, chairman of WirelessHD, a consortium of CE companies supporting the technology. Lior Weiss, marketing VP of fabless semiconductor startup Celeno, disagreed. He claimed consumers are more interested in such applications as using a multi-room DVR to transmit different programs to different TVs throughout the house.
