Pulse-LINK Launches CWave UWB HDMI-Over-Coax, Wireless HDMI Solutions

Ultra Wideband (UWB) semiconductor pioneer and performance leader, Pulse-LINK Inc., announced today that its CWave HDMI-Over-Coax and Wireless HDMI production ready reference designs are now available for CE device manufacturers. These groundbreaking solutions enable real-time high definition audio and video distribution throughout the home with a guaranteed Quality-of-Service (QoS) for the industry's first true "Digital Home Cinema" experience.

The CWave UWB HDMI-Over-Coax and Wireless HDMI transmit and receive units are low cost, small form factor, production ready reference designs enabling OEM customers quick market entry. CWave HDMI products offer real-time visually lossless wired and wireless streaming of high quality audio and video content between entertainment source devices and HDTV displays. Video data is encoded using the JPEG2000 video codec, the same codec used by movie theaters for "Digital Cinema," providing a secure high definition home theater experience.

"HDMI is the preferred direct link between HDTVs and digital sources such as Blu-ray and HD DVD players, video game consoles and set-top boxes used by cable, satellite and IPTV gateways," states John Santhoff, Pulse-LINK founder and CTO. "Streaming HD content around the home presents the greatest technical challenges for home networking and exposes bandwidth and QoSlimitations. CWave provides a 'No New Wires' solution -- extending the reach of HDMI from room-to-room over existing coax cabling and wirelessly connecting devices within each room using the same chip."
