Trends in Wireless Display Connectivity

The newest generation of high-resolution digital display interfaces now has a new face: Wireless connectivity. Several systems, including generic WiFi (802.11)-based products, have already come to market. Two of them - 6 GHz wireless high-definition interface (WHDI) and 60 GHz wireless HD (WiHD) - are competing head to head in the consumer electronics space, while a wide-channel, short range implementation (ultra wideband, or UWB) is struggling to stay viable. — All of these systems support full bandwidth HDMI and DisplayPort signals (10 Gb/s) with low latency, making them attractive as well for 3G camera-to-monitor links for field video production. This paper will describe each system and explain their advantages and disadvantages, as well as the differences between them.
