Philips launches wireless HDMI transmission device at CES in Vegas.

The Philips SWW1800 is a compact in-room solution that can transfer a 1080p signal without any signal loss. The signal is never compressed and retains all the attributes as if it were transmitted through a standard HDMI cable.

By operating in the ultra wideband (UWB) range, the wireless cable experiences no interference from traditional devices. It functions free from obstruction of Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, cordless phones, microwaves and cell phones. Additionally, the wireless HDMI can be placed anywhere within a 25 foot range – in an entertainment center, in a closet, on the other side of the room – without signal loss or degradation.

“HDMI is an established cornerstone for the HDTV industry, and Philips is extremely pleased to see such significant advancements for picture and sound quality,” said Glen McIlmail, CEO of Philips Accessories, North America. “Wireless HDMI presents an entire new category. For consumers who want the most advanced technology with the simplest connectivity, this is the only way to go.” Indeed, this in-room solution enables any home that uses HDMI cabling to forget about the poor and somewhat irritating aesthetics of hanging wires and install home theaters in new spaces.

The revolutionary wireless HDMI cable will be available in May in the US with a suggested retail price of $299.99.
