IOGEAR unveils uncompressed 1080p wireless streaming matrix switcher
It just wouldn't be CES without IOGEAR showing off new jet-black wireless streaming devices, and today it's unveiling the lovingly named "Wireless 5x2 HD Matrix," or GWHDMS52. The two-piece set is capable of streaming uncompressed full HD (1080p) content, including 3D video and 5.1-channel audio, from anything in your main entertainment setup to another TV up to 100 ft away, using the WHDI standard. You plug everything into the main box, which serves as the transmitter -- it has one component and four HDMI inputs, with one HDMI-out to serve the primary display. The receiver box has its own HDMI-out for the device you're streaming to, as well as a USB port for controlling a media server or similar plugged in at the other end. If you hadn't guessed already, the setup is a matrix switcher, meaning the receiver will pull from any source hooked up to the transmitter, regardless of what's being watched on the primary TV. The Wireless 5x2 HD Matrix is due to launch in March at a price of $399.95.
