Wireless HDMI At 1080p, Lag-Free WHDI Tested 171
MojoKid writes "Wireless HDMI technologies have finally come of age. Though there are two camps currently in the market (Intel's WiDi and WHDI), the bottom line is lag-free full HD 1080p wireless HDMI video/audio transmission is now a reality. No longer does an HTPC need to be shoehorned into the confines of the entertainment center. Also, that notebook you have perched on the coffee table just got a major display upgrade. This demo of the Asus WiCast and the briteView HDelight wireless HDMI transmitter kits, shows the technology in action and its impressive actually. Both of these WHDI-based kits utilize the same family of Amimon WHDI transmitter and receiver chipsets. The technology is capable of full 1080p HD video and Dolby Digital surround sound audio transmissions, over distances of up to 30 feet with less than a millisecond of latency."

This ensures that all video or audio content transmitted wirelessly over WHDI links is safe from intentional or accidental eavesdropping.
Accidental eavesdropping is becoming a real concern these days. Just yesterday, some guy with a really loud stereo pulled up next to me at a red light and I accidentally eavesdropped on the music he was playing. it's a good thing the RIAA wasn't around to see that.
