Cables usually are an eyesore. Then again thanks to wireless technological innovation, your room is now looking very much less like an office. Some of the most effective clutter-busting devices ever created are the cordless phone, the wireless modem, and the Bluetooth dongle. Now another digital wonder has come out -- Wireless HDMI -- so you will be able to transfer that large-screen LCD TV from your desk to your wall devoid of the hideous sight of hanging HDMI wires.

With WIRELESS HDMI technology, you don't have to drill holes and run wires from your DVR, Blu-ray player, cable box, or game console to enjoy high-definition audio and video broadcasts in full 1080p on your TV. Wireless HDMI devices are intended to make it much easier for you to install and link all your electronic digital equipment especially if they are installed several feet apart from each other.

Wireless HDMI operates within distances of up to thirty feet - a superb option to laying down those unattractive wires around the place, up the ceiling or through the wall structure, and into the next room. This is particulary useful when you have a setup that cannot store all your HD sources in one particular location.

This is how Wireless HDMI functions. The Wireless HDMI equipment, which is often a little black box, obtains audio and video information from an HD source such as a Blu-ray player, and transmits this high-definition broadcast to your HDTV or HD projector using ultra-wideband radio frequencies.

Still in its infancy, Wireless HDMI technology of course experienced a few problems with early gadgets that produced volatile video signals and was restricted to short-range coverage. What's more, presently there is still no established standard for Wireless HDMI, and manufacturers are making use of their proprietary technology such as the Sony Bravia Wireless Link, Philips Wireless HDTV Link, LG Wireless 1080p, and Asus Wireless Display Connectivity.

As improvements to Wireless HDMI technology are being engineered, it is predicted that future HD gadgets will incorporate wireless connectivity functions as well. The Gefen EXT-WHDMI Wireless HDMI Extender is one of the recent models that have displayed real promise.
