We've raved about WHDI (Wireless Home Digital Interface) before, watching its astonishingly clear 1080p video through walls from 100 feet away at CES, and naming it one of the best nine products we saw at CES 2009. Now semiconductor company Amimon, the mastermind behind this high-powered HDTV technology, has created the final chipset for WHDI 2.0, improving on its 1080i predecessor so that now it can transmit 1080p video at a latency of under 1 millisecond. The best news is, outboard devices (dongles) containing this transmission/receiving tech "could be selling for $200-300 within a year," according to Amimon, and eventually, the chipset, which costs $45 now, is eventially expected to add only about $10 to the cost of a product, the company told DVICE.

What's so great about WHDI? You'll be able to connect a TV wirelessly to a home theater receiver, TV can be extra-slim TV because they don't need all of those internal electronics. Or, think of being able to watch and control a Blu-ray disk wirelessly from your home theater on any TV in the house, even 100 feet away. Imagine being able to play and control your Xbox 360 located in the bedroom, wirelessly while you sit in your home theater. That's what's coming with WHDI 2.0.

Expect to see the first improbably thin TVs loaded this 1080p wireless tech by the end of the year, and lots more TVs, AV receivers, projectors, PCs and laptops with WHDI on board at next year's CES. It's about time — we've been watching the development of this technology for three years. Now, a combination of Amimon manufacturing a final chipset, and the industry finally agreeing on a WHDI standard in the next couple of months, might mean that soon, wireless 1080p video could be everywhere.
