Introduction
The HM501 is the first generation of WHDI
TM
receiver module based on AMIMON's AMN2210 baseband
receiver chip. The HM501 WHDI
TM
wireless receiver module, together with the AMN11100 WHDI
TM
wireless
transmitter module, presents the ultimate solution for converting any High Definition (HD) system into a wireless
one. This add-on module enables wireless A/V applications that can easily fit into the living room and eliminate
traditional A/V wiring. The ultimate HD video and audio quality and robustness are unmatched by any
other wireless technology and present a true alternative to cable. The WHDI system transmits uncompressed video
and audio streams wirelessly and thus simplifies and eliminates system issues experienced with any other
known wireless-based solutions, such as lip-sync, large buffers and other burdens like
retransmissions or error propagation.
