NETANYA, Israel — Amimon Inc., a provider of semiconductor technology for wireless high-definition video, is set to demonstrate wireless HDTV with embedded WHDI technology capable of receiving uncompressed 1080p 60Hz HD video streams wirelessly. Amimon has partnered with a consumer electronics manufacturer, but the company's statement did not disclose the identity of the partner. The demonstration is set to take place at the International Consumer Electronics Show 2008 that is due to be held in Las Vegas, Nevada, Jan. 7 to 10.

Amimon's WHDI technology uses a video-modem approach to deliver wirelessly uncompressed HDTV. With a range of over 30 meters, through multiple walls, and with latency of less than one millisecond, WHDI is claimed to offer universal wireless whole-home HD connectivity with quality equivalent to that achieved with wires.

"The WHDI 1080p HDTV exhibited at CES demonstrates a new class of wireless connectivity," said Dr. Yoav Nissan-Cohen, Amimon chairman and CEO. "WHDI enables TV manufacturers to offer consumers new possibilities to connect video sources to HDTVs throughout the home."

"WHDI is setting a new standard for whole-home HD audio, video and control connectivity," continued Dr. David Lee, HDMI visionary and a member of Amimon's board of directors. "WHDI technology enables an enriched customer experience by enabling high-quality and robust connections between video sources and TVs throughout the home."

The 1080p WHDI LCD TV that will be demonstrated at CES embeds Amimon's WHDI chipset (AMN2110/AMN2210), which was named an International CES Innovations 2008 Design and Engineering Awards Honoree in the enabling technologies category.

Amimon is headquartered in Herzlia, Israel, with offices in Santa Clara, Calif., and Tokyo, Japan.
