Vestel Wireless HDTVs to Showcase AMIMON’s High-Quality 1080p/60Hz Second Generation Chipset With Multicast Capabilities

SANTA CLARA, CA — AMIMON Inc., the market leader in wireless HD semiconductor solutions, today announced that Europe’s leading OEM/ODM Vestel Elektronik will be demonstrating a 1080p/60Hz wireless TV based on AMIMON’s technology at the IFA Consumer Electronics tradeshow in Berlin, September 4 – 9, 2009. The demonstrated TV is embedded with AMIMON’s second generation chipset, AMN 2120/2220, which is designed for the WHDI™ (Wireless Home Digital Interface™) standard.

Vestel will showcase WHDI’s multicast capabilities. The demonstration will have a Vestel Media box wirelessly distributing uncompressed 1080p HD video to multiple wireless HDTVs spread across Vestel’s booth. The Vestel demonstration highlights the benefit consumers will derive from WHDI: the freedom to connect any source in the home to any TV wirelessly, including the option to multicast video from a single source to multiple TVs throughout the home. IFA attendees are invited to see the demonstration of AMIMON’s technology at Vestel’s booth at Hall 8.2/101.

“We have received solid market acceptance of our 1080p/60Hz HD technology and WHDI as the standard for wireless uncompressed HD connectivity throughout the home,” said Noam Geri, vice president of marketing and business development for AMIMON. “The WHDI-based chipsets from AMIMON continue to be selected by the top CE manufacturers because of its high-quality 1080p/60Hz HD wireless video and whole-home capabilities.”

“We see wireless HDTVs as an emerging trend,” said Hakan Kutlu, Deputee General Manager of Vestel Product Marketing. “WHDI’s high quality, robustness, multicast capabilities and whole-home coverage make it the standard of choice for wireless HDTV.”

AMIMON’s second generation chipset is the first chipset capable of wirelessly delivering full uncompressed 1080p/60Hz HD content throughout the entire home. It’s based on the revolutionary video modem technology operating in the 5GHz unlicensed band, pioneered by AMIMON and the backbone of WHDI.

Key features of AMIMON’s second generation chipset include:

  • Designed for the WHDI standard
  • HD video: 1080p/60Hz & high-quality computer graphics, same quality as a wire
  • Range: multi-room — beyond 100 feet (30 meters) through walls
  • Latency: less than 1 millisecond — no delay
  • Hollywood approved HDCP 2.0 copy protection
  • Low power consumption modes for portable devices
  • Low cost — mass adoption BOM cost
  • 5GHz unlicensed band with support for Dynamic Frequency Selection (DFS)
