The world needs another wireless HD system like it needs another thousand gallons of goop spinning in the middle of the Pacific, but regardless of the facts, ProVision is set to introduce one such system at CES this week. According to details scrounged up by
Pocket-lint, the AXAR technology will function much like
WHDI does currently. The difference? Increased range and a knack for distributing to
more than just an HDTV. It's expected that AXAR will find its way into TVs, set-top boxes and a range of network devices in time for Christmas 2010, where it will allow any AXAR-enabled device (a laptop, phone, PMP, HDTV, PC, etc.) to receive 1080p content from a media player, Blu-ray player or similar. Better still, it can also distribute those signals to WiFi-enabled products if your network can handle it. Currently, the tech can support two separate HD streams at the same time, and it can broadcast 'em to a living space that's three times that of the Buckingham Palace. We'll be sure to poke our nose around for more at CES, but in the meanwhile, feel free to catch a few first impressions down in the source link.

Umm...why isn't this the standard?
Sounds good.. but it also sounds flawed. Surely a networked media system would do the same thing?
TV from HTPC from NETWORK to HTPC2 to TV2
Why does everything leak before this years CES?
@erwin
It does kind of defeat the object of the tech Mecca doesn't it. I don't think I've ever been more blasé about a gadget event. The surprise this year may well be whether or not there are any surprises left, regardless of the calibre of the techy toy responsible!
Anything?
...It feels about time my stove gets an HD upgrade.
For a second there, i thought that was the Maxis logo displayed on that screen.
HD streaming is rad. Murph you see that NC State shit go down today, heartbreaking.
It would be awesome if you could use this to stream HD to an iPhone.
@pachi72
Lol yea I guess you're right :P
Is it clearer sharper more vivid than a bluray player on a 52" sony LCD 120hz??
Ok then y'all just keep wasting your time.
The day streaming video is sharper than bluray give me a call until then it's just a step back in technolgy.
Get with the times y'all. Logic has spoken.
@logic thinker Do you watch much of Wimbledon on Bluray? If you only watch pre-recorded media then your viewpoint is valid but if you are looking for "clutter-free" HD (1080p) for live broadcasts then this is worth a look. All we need is some 1080p broadcasts (in UK).
does anyone know what those devices are called that u can directly connect to ur hdtv and itll play stuff outputed at 1080p? it has an internal harddrive to store movies and stuff....
don't think i can afford wireless streaming at this moment...
TODAY IS A GLORIOUS DAY ! ! !
FINALLY ! ! !
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH
I've been waiting for this day ever since I first saw Slingbox + Laptop = lolwut?
if i understand this product correctly, it seems to be a way to send _uncompressed_ HD signals over a wireless link. looking over the comments, many seem to have a different understanding.
