Wireless HDMI is nothing new, but Averlogic has another interesting way to pump HDTV throughout your house without the need for yards of cabling: through the mains, and it’s been demonstrating it at Computex.
So here’s the deal. You have a set top box in your downstairs living room with all your programs stored in hi-res. You’ve got a flatscreen upstairs, in your bedroom say, and you want to match the two together. What do you do? Answer: turn to Averlogic.
The Taiwanese company has just demonstrated a way to sling HD signals over power lines. It’ll send 1920×1080 signals at 24p or 60i over the mains along with 5.1-channel AC-3 audio. Averlogic says the tech (Called AL9M803B-EVB-A6 PLC Video Link module – rolls off the tongue, doesn’t it?) will also work over ethernet lines, if you’d rather keep the TV out of the leccy lines.
Averlogic says the technology should make it into gadgets headed for shelves in the not too distant future, so anyone with multi-room home cinema set ups might want to keep an eye out for this one.
