Wireless HD Video Technologies 2009: WHDI, WirelessHD, 802.11n, and UWB All Test the Waters Wireless HD Video Technologies 2009: WHDI, WirelessHD, 802.11n, and UWB All Test the Waters
Abstract Wireless high definition (HD) technologies are the next frontier in consumer electronic (CE) connectivity—replacing the nest of wires in the living room with high-bandwidth wireless technologies capable of transmitting HD video streams. The primary candidate technologies include: Wireless Home Digital Interface (WHDI), WirelessHD, 802.11n, and ultrawideband (UWB). WHDI and WirelessHD are new, uncompressed HD video transmission technologies, each of which is primarily promoted by start-up chip companies. Though each has potential, both face significant market obstacles. 802.11n has the advantage of being a Wi-Fi technology, with a large installed base, but has limited bandwidth, necessitating the use of expensive codec technologies to transmit HD. UWB also uses codecs, and is facing difficulties in market adoption, with a number of chip companies shutting their doors over the past year.
This report tracks the annual penetration through 2013 of all four technologies into 17 different applications within the following product segments: CE, PCs, PC peripherals, mobile phones, and industrial/medical applications. It also includes history and analysis of each technology, annual chip average selling price forecasts of each technology, and profiles of major chip players in the market.
