Galaxy GTX 460 Wireless Home Digital Interface (WHDI)
Galaxy Microsystems, a leading manufacturer and worldwide supplier of Nvidia-based graphics solutions, announced that it has selected WHDI technology from AMIMON as the platform for its new Galaxy GTX 460 WHDI Edition shipping this month.
The Galaxy GeForce GTX 460 WHDI Edition provides an uncompressed wireless PC-to-TV connection enabling consumers to view the entire content of their PC screen on their big screen TV. Amimon’s WHDI technology has latency of less than one millisecond making it an ideal solution for gaming. The (almost) no-latency link enables consumers to enjoy full interactive PC applications on their TV. Content such as Internet video, flash media, digital photos and PC games can all be viewed and experienced on the TV with a convenient wireless connection.
Looking at the Galaxy GTX 460 WHDI card, we see that it has five mini-antennas above the air vents. It also has a DVI and a DisplayPort connector and a mini USB port. The WHDI signal is transmitted in the 5GHz band and will allow you to stream 1080p HD video to the supplied receiver which can be placed up to 100 feet (30 m) away from the PC. Evidently, the Galaxy GTX 460 WHDI setup consists of a daughter board that connects to a mini-card PCI Express connector on the graphics card PCB using an ARM processor and the Amimon WHDI solution.
The receiver is a vertical black box in a stand and it also features an ARM processor, the WHDI chipset from Amimon and an HDMI port to connect it to your television. This simplifies most wireless home theater setups and will be welcome in that community and among gamers using their PC to play games on their TV without latency and with a relatively powerful video card. Internet video, flash media, digital photos and PC games can all be viewed and experienced on the TV with a convenient wireless connection.
