GTVWireless60Ghz

GefenTV’s 60Ghz HDMI extender is now shipping. The wireless extender is capable of transmitting uncompressed HD signals across the 3Ghz bandwidth at a range of up to 30 feet.

How it works:

The Wireless for HDMI 60 GHz Extender system uses a pair of Sender and Receiver units. The HDMI source is attached to the HDMI input on the Sender unit. The Receiver unit is attached to an HDMI-compliant display in the desired viewing area. The Sender and Receiver are arranged in a line-of-sight orientation with respect to each other and without obstructions in the way of the radio signal path. The Sender and Receiver are powered on and put into pairing mode using their dedicated reset buttons. Within a few seconds, the units find each other and wireless radio pairing mode commences. A sharp and vibrant high-definition picture emerges on the remote extended HDMI-compliant display as AV signal extension completes. - GefenTV

The sender and receiver pair runs $1000.
