Business Wire
Silicon Image, Inc. (NASDAQ: SIMG),
a leading provider of HD connectivity solutions, today announced
that its 60GHz WirelessHD® technology is designed into Epson’s
newly introduced line of PowerLite Home Cinema 3D 1080p 3LCD
projectors—the PowerLite Home Cinema 5030Ube. These new projectors
support the highest quality wireless video connectivity from mobile
devices to the display with near-zero latency and are ideal for
gaming and other interactive video applications.
Each PowerLite projector has an embedded WirelessHD 1.1 receiver
and ships with a WirelessHD transmitter adapter, which allows any
HDMI®- or MHL®-enabled source device to seamlessly display content
over the projector. WirelessHD 1.1 is ideal for connecting Full HD
source devices to the projector wirelessly—enabling a robust,
cable-like experience that is free from Wi-Fi interference. These
PowerLite Home Cinema projectors offer bright, high contrast ratio,
high-quality scaling engine for 3D content, and MHL (Mobile
High-Definition Link) support, making it easy for consumers to
connect their MHL-enabled smartphones and tablets for display
applications.
“Epson has extended their leadership in embedded 60GHz
WirelessHD technology with their new family of PowerLite Home
Cinema projectors," said Jim Chase, senior director of marketing
for wireless products at Silicon Image. “Our Gen3 WirelessHD
chipsets meet the size, cost and power requirements of
next-generation, feature-rich consumer A/V products, making them
ideal for low latency, interactive HD applications. We are pleased
to see continued growth of the WirelessHD 1.1 product ecosystem and
look forward to our ongoing collaboration with Epson.”
Silicon Image’s Gen3 WirelessHD chipset consists of the SiI6320
HRTX Network Processor, SiI6321 HRRX Network Processor and SiI6310
HRTR RF Transceiver, which provide all of the functionality needed
to enable a complete WirelessHD solution. These chipsets are
WirelessHD 1.1 compliant and are compatible with future mobile
devices that embed Silicon Image’s UltraGig™ 6400 WirelessHD mobile
transmitter.
Key features of the WirelessHD chipset
- Full HD support up to 1080p60 with
support for 3D video
- Ultra-low latency (less than 5ms)
- Interference free from 2.4GHz and 5GHz
Wi-Fi
- Low power operating modes including
sleep and power throttling
- Industry standard compliant (WirelessHD
